If A Tire Goes Flat - GMC Savana 2011 Owner's Manual

Notice: Use tire chains only
where legal and only when you
must. Use chains that are the
proper size for the tires. Install
them on the tires of the rear
axle. Do not use chains on the
tires of the front axle. Tighten
them as tightly as possible with
the ends securely fastened.
Drive slowly and follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions.
If you can hear the chains
contacting the vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until
it stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with chains
on will damage the vehicle.
For Cutaway models with LT245/
75R16, LT225/75R16 or LT215/
85R16 size single or dual rear tires,
use Low Profile Z-Chain or SAE
Class S cables.
For Cargo or Passenger models
with P245/70R17, LT225/75R16 or
LT245/75R16 size tires, use Low
Profile Z-Chain cables. SAE Class S
chains are not recommended.
If the vehicle has dual rear tires, do
not use individual tire chains. Use
tire chains that fit across both dual
tires.

If a Tire Goes Flat

It is unusual for a tire to blowout
while you are driving, especially if
you maintain the vehicle's tires
properly. If air goes out of a tire,
it is much more likely to leak out
slowly. But if you should ever have a
blowout, here are a few tips about
what to expect and what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire
creates a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot
off the accelerator pedal and grip
the steering wheel firmly. Steer to
maintain lane position, and then
gently brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible.
