Wheel Alignment And Tyre Balance; Wheel Replacement - Chevrolet 2015 Corvette Owner's Manual

Wheel Alignment and
Tyre Balance
The tyres and wheels were aligned
and balanced at the factory to
provide the longest tyre life and best
overall performance. Adjustments to
wheel alignment and tyre balancing
are not necessary on a regular
basis. Consider an alignment check
if there is unusual tyre wear. If the
vehicle is vibrating when driving on
a smooth road, the tyres and wheels
may need to be rebalanced. See
your dealer for proper diagnosis.
Road Imperfections/Crown Effects
The vehicle's precise steering and
handling make it very responsive to
road surface feedback. A slight pull
may be felt in the steering
depending on the crown of the road
and/or other road surface variations
such as troughs or ruts. This is
normal and the vehicle does not
require service.
Tyre Chatter/Hop
When driving at slow speeds and in
very tight turns, the vehicle may
have tyre chatter/hop. This is
normal and the vehicle does not
require service.

Wheel Replacement

Replace any wheel that is bent,
cracked, or badly rusted or
corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming
loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and
wheel nuts should be replaced.
If the wheel leaks air, replace it.
Some aluminium wheels can be
repaired. See your dealer if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of
wheel that is needed.
Each new wheel should have the
same load-carrying capacity,
diameter, width, offset, and be
mounted the same way as the one it
replaces.
Vehicle Care
Replace wheels, wheel bolts,
or wheel nuts with new GM original
equipment parts.
Warning
Using the wrong replacement
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts can be dangerous. It could
affect the braking and handling of
the vehicle. Tyres can lose air,
and cause loss of control, causing
a crash. Always use the correct
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for replacement.
Warning
Replacing a wheel with a used
one is dangerous. How it has
been used or how far it has been
driven may be unknown. It could
fail suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use a
new GM original equipment
wheel.
