TIRES
At the present time all Chevrolet cars are equipped with
synthetic rubber tires and tubes. These tires, although they look
like the tires you have always used, have quite different char-
acteristics. For this reason the instructions covering tire care and
service have been changed.
It is most important that you famil-
iarize yourself with the following simple instructions. You will be
repaid in the form of long satisfactory tire life.
'TIRE
INFLATION
Maintaining correct tire pressure is even more important with
synthetic tires than with natural rubber tires. Heat; caused by
under-inflation, overload and excessive speed, is the greatest
enemy of synthetic tires. Check tire pressures at least twice a
week, preferably when tires are normaJly cold.
Avoid Underin-
Ilation
to prevent pinched tubes, rim bruises, excessive heat,
and irregular or rapid tire wear.
Avoid Over-Inflation
to prevent
tire ruptures, hard riding, irregular or rapid wear, and reduc-
tion of skid resistance.
Maintain 2 .6 pounds pressure in the front tires and 28 pounds
pressure in the rear tires.
