Wheel Loading; Dual Tire Operation - Chevrolet 2007 Kodiak Owner's Manual

Wheel Loading

Wheels are stamped with a maximum load and
cold inflation rating. Be sure you do not exceed
these limits. If you ever think you need to exceed
these limits, first contact the rim and wheel
maker to get their advice.

Dual Tire Operation

When the vehicle is new, check the wheel nut
tightness on all wheels with a torque wrench after
your first 100 miles (160 km) and then 1,000 miles
(1 600 km) after that. Whenever a wheel, wheel
bolt or wheel nut is removed or serviced,
repeat the 100 miles (160 km), and then 1,000 mile
(1 600 km) wheel nut tightness check.
See Tightening the Wheel Nuts on page 325 for
wheel nut tightening information and proper
torque values.
CAUTION:
{
If you operate your vehicle with a tire that
is badly underinflated, the tire can
overheat. An overheated tire can lose air
suddenly or catch fire. You or others could
be injured. Be sure all tires (including the
spare, if any) are properly inflated.
See Tires on page 321 and Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 322 for more information on
proper tire inflation.
