GM's exclusive TPC Spec
system considers over a dozen
critical specifications that impact
the overall performance of the
vehicle, including brake system
performance, ride and handling,
traction control, and tyre
pressure monitoring
performance. GM's TPC Spec
number is moulded onto the
tyre's sidewall near the tyre size.
If the tyres have an all-season
tread design, the TPC Spec
number will be followed by MS
for mud and snow.
GM recommends replacing worn
tyres in complete sets of four.
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.
If proper rotation and
maintenance have been done,
all four tyres should wear out at
about the same time. See Tyre
Rotation on page 10-54 for
information on proper tyre
rotation. However, if it is
necessary to replace only one
axle set of worn tyres, place the
new tyres on the rear axle.
Warning
Tyres could explode during
improper service. Attempting
to mount or dismount a tyre
could cause injury or death.
Only your dealer or authorised
tyre service centre should
mount or dismount the tyres.
Winter tyres with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tyres may not be
available for H, V, W, Y and ZR
speed rated tyres. Never exceed
Vehicle Care
the winter tyres maximum speed
capability when using winter
tyres with a lower speed rating.
Warning
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.
Warning
Mixing tyres of different sizes
(other than those originally
installed on the vehicle), brands,
or types may cause loss of
control of the vehicle, resulting in
