number is moulded onto the
tyre's sidewall near the tyre size.
If the tyres have an all-season
tread design, the TPC Spec

MS for mud and snow.
GM recommends replacing all
the tyres at the same time.
Uniform tread depth on all
tyres will help to maintain the
performance of the vehicle.
Braking and handling
performance may be adversely
affected if all the tyres are not
replaced at the same time. See
Tyre Inspection on page 9‑50
and Tyre Rotation on page 9‑50
for information on proper tyre
rotation.

Mixing tyres of different sizes,
brands, or types may cause

Never drive faster than the speed
the tyres are rated, regardless of
the legal speed limit. When
frequently driving the vehicle at
high speeds and/or for prolonged
periods of time, check with your
vehicle/tyre dealer for the proper
type of tyres to use for the
specific driving and weather
conditions.
