leaks air, replace it. Some aluminum wheels

a
n be repaired. See your dealer if any of these
conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel that
is needed.
Each new wheel should have the same load-
carrying capacity, diameter, width, offset,
and be mounted the same way as the one
it replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts, or Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors with
new GM original equipment parts.
{ Warning
U
sing the wrong replacement wheels,
wh
eel bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of the vehicle. Tires can lose
air and cause loss of control, resulting
in acrash. Always use the correct
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
for replacement.
{ Warning
R
eplacing awheel with aused one is
da
ngerous. How it has been used or how
far it has been driven may be unknown. It
could fail suddenly and cause a crash. When
replacing wheels, use anew GM original
equipment wheel.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
p
r
oblems with bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or tire chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
Tire Traction Devices
{ Warning
D
o not use tire chains. There is not enough
cl
earance. Tire chains used on avehicle
without the proper amount of clearance can

cause damage to the brakes, suspension, or
other vehicle parts. The area damaged by
the tire chains could cause loss of control
and acrash.
Use another type of traction device only
if its manufacturer recommends it for the
vehicle's tire size combination and road
conditions. Follow that manufacturer's
instructions. To avoid vehicle damage, drive
slowly and readjust or remove the traction
device if it contacts the vehicle. Do not
spin the wheels. If traction devices are
used, install them on the tires of the drive
axle only.
If aTire Goes Flat
It
is unusual for a tire to blow out while driving,
especially if the tires are maintained properly.
It is much more likely for atire to experience
aslow leak. See Tires 3249.
