Tires
Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by
a leading tire manufacturer.
If
you ever have questions
about your tire warranty and where to obtain service,
see your
Ct-
rolet
V’
rranty booklet for details.
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires
are dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause
overheating as a result of too much
friction. You could have an air-out and a
serious accident. See “Loading Your
Vehicle’’ in the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.

Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured or broken by a sudden
impact
-
such as when you
hit
a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If
your tread
is
badly worn, or
if
your tires
have been damaged, replace them.
Extended
Mobility Tires
(Except Z06)
Your vehicle, when new, had Goodyear Extended
Mobility Tires (EMT). There’s no spare tire, no tire
changing equipment and
no
place to store a tire in the
vehicle. Extended Mobility Tires perform
so
well
without any air that a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) is
used to alert you
if
a tire has lost pressure.
If a tire goes flat, you won’t need to stop on the side of
the road to change the tire. You can just keep on driving.
The shorter the distance you drive and the slower the
speed, the greater the chance that the tire will not have to
be replaced.
If
you drive on a deflated EMT for
50
miles
(80
km) or less and at speeds of
55
mph
(90
km/h) or
less, there is a good chance that the tire can be repaired.
