Section 4
Make sure the replacement tire is
compatible with your tire pressure
monitoring system. If not, the
system may give inaccurate low
pressure warnings.
See "Tire Pressure Monitor"
earlier in this section for more
information.
CAUTION
Mixing brands, sizes or types of
tires on your vehicle (other than
the tire brand/size/type
originally installed on your
vehicle) could cause you to lose
control while driving and may
also damage the vehicle. Be
sure to use the correct brand,
size and type tires on all wheels.
The spare tire and wheel assem-
bly included with your vehicle
may be a different size than the
road tires originally installed on
the vehicle.
CAUTION (Continued)
When new, your vehicle was
equipped with a factory-
installed spare tire and wheel
assembly with a similar overall
diameter as the factory-
installed road tires and wheels.
Because the spare tire and
wheel were developed for use
on your vehicle, it will not affect
handling.
Using a tire or wheel size other
than the size originally installed on
your vehicle may cause problems
or damage to various vehicle
systems, such as braking, ride and
handling, and resistance to roll-
over, and to electronic systems like
antilock brakes, traction control,
stability control, or rollover air
bags.
CAUTION
If you add different sized
wheels, and then if tires not
recommended for those wheels
are selected, your vehicle may
not provide an acceptable level
of performance and safety.
You may increase the chance
that you will crash and suffer
serious injury.
Only use GM specific wheel and
tire systems developed for
your vehicle, and have them
properly installed by a GM
certified technician.
