Different Size Tyres And Wheels; Wheel Alignment And Tyre Balance - Cadillac 2015 SRX Owner's Manual

Warning (Continued)
A tyre and/or wheel could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.
Use only radial-ply tyres with
the wheels on the vehicle.
If the vehicle tyres must be
replaced with a tyre that does
not have a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same
size, load range, speed rating,
and construction (radial) as the
original tyres.
Vehicles that have a tyre
pressure monitoring system
could give an inaccurate
low-pressure warning if non-TPC
Spec rated tyres are installed.
See Tyre Pressure Monitor
System on page 10-45.
The Tyre and Loading
Information label indicates the
original equipment tyres on the
vehicle. See Vehicle Load Limits
on page 9-8 for the label
location and more information
about the Tyre and Loading
Information label.
Different Size Tyres and
Wheels
If wheels or tyres are installed that
are a different size than the original
equipment wheels and tyres, vehicle
performance, including its braking,
ride and handling characteristics,
stability, and resistance to rollover
may be affected. If the vehicle has
electronic systems such as antilock
brakes, rollover airbags, traction
control, electronic stability control,
or All-Wheel Drive, the performance
of these systems can also be
affected.
Vehicle Care
Warning
If different sized wheels are used,
there may not be an acceptable
level of performance and safety if
tyres not recommended for those
wheels are selected. This
increases the chance of a crash
and serious injury. Only use GM
specific wheel and tyre systems
developed for the vehicle, and
have them properly installed by a
GM certified technician.

page 10-51 and Accessories and
Modifications on page 10-2.
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
