If you must replace your vehicle's
tires with those that do not have a
TPC Spec number, make sure they
are the same size, load range,
speed rating, and construction type
(radial and bias‐belted tires) as your
vehicle's original tires.
Vehicles that have a tire pressure
monitoring system could give an
inaccurate low‐pressure warning
if non‐TPC Spec rated tires are
installed on your vehicle. Non‐TPC
Spec rated tires may give a
low‐pressure warning that is higher
or lower than the proper warning
level you would get with TPC Spec
rated tires. See Tire Pressure
Monitor System on page 10‑59.
Your vehicle's original equipment
tires are listed on the Tire and
Loading Information Label. See
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑22,
for more information about the Tire
and Loading Information Label and
its location on your vehicle.
Different Size Tires and
Wheels
If you add wheels or tires that are
a different size than the original
equipment wheels and tires, this
could affect the way the vehicle
performs, including its braking,
ride and handling characteristics,
stability, and resistance to rollover.
Additionally, if the vehicle has
electronic systems such as antilock
brakes, rollover airbags, traction
control, and electronic stability
control, the performance of these
systems can be affected.
{
WARNING
If you add different sized
wheels, the vehicle may not
provide an acceptable level of
performance and safety if tires not
recommended for those wheels
are selected. You may increase
the chance that you will crash and
suffer serious injury. Only use GM
specific wheel and tire systems
developed for the vehicle, and
have them properly installed by a
GM certified technician.
See Buying New Tires on
page 10‑65 and Accessories and
Modifications on page 10‑3 for
