High Speed Operation (CTS-V)
{CAUTION:
Driving at high speeds, 100 mph (160 km/h)
or higher, puts an additional strain on tires.
Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive
heat build up and can cause sudden tire failure.
You could have a crash and you or others
could be killed. Some high-speed rated tires
require ination pressure adjustment for high
speed operation. When speed limits and road
conditions are such that a vehicle can be driven
at high speeds, make sure the tires are rated
for high speed operation, in excellent condition,
and set to the correct cold tire ination pressure
for the vehicle load.
The CTS-V performance series has 245/45R18 96W size
tires. These high-performance tires require ination
pressure adjustment when driving your vehicle at speeds
of 130 mph (209 km/h) or higher with occupants and
cargo weighing 600 lbs. (272 kg) up to 882 lbs. (400 kg).Use the following chart to determine the cold tire
ination pressure when operating your vehicle under
these conditions.

When you end high-speed driving, return the tires
