Tire Pressure - Chevrolet 2015 City Express Owner's Manual

Tire Pressure

Tires need the correct amount of
air pressure to operate
effectively.
Caution
Neither tire underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires, or tires
that do not have enough air,
can result in:
Tire overloading and
overheating which could
lead to a blowout.
Premature or
irregular wear.
Poor handling.
Reduced fuel economy.
Caution (Continued)
Overinflated tires, or tires that
have too much air, can
result in:
Unusual wear.
Poor handling.
Rough ride.
Needless damage from
road hazards.
The Tire and Loading
Information label on the vehicle
indicates the original equipment

inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is the

Check the tires once a month
or more.
Do not forget the spare tire,
if the vehicle has one. See
