Used Replacement Wheels

-1
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how
it’s
been used or
how
far
it’s
been driven.
It
could fail suddenly
and cause an accident.
If
you have to replace a
wheel, use a new
GM
original equipment wheel.
Tire
Chains
NOTICE:
Don’t use tire chains. They can damage your
vehicle because there’s not enough clearance.
Use another type of traction device only
if
its
manufacturer recommends it
for
use on your
vehicle and tire size combination and road
conditions. Follow that manufacturer’s
instructions. To help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust
or
remove the
device
if
it’s contacting your vehicle, and don’t
spin your wheels.
If
you do find traction devices that will
fit,
install
them on the front tires.
