change wheel PONTIAC FIREBIRD 1997 User Guide

If you have P245/50ZRl6 or P27940ZR17 Goodyear
Eagle
GS-C tires, they must roll in a certain direction
for the best overall performance. The direction is shown
by an arrow on the sidewall. Because these tires are
directional, they should be rotated
as shown here. These
tires should
only be moved from front to rear and rear to
front on the same side of the vehicle.
Don’t include the compact spare tire in your tire
rotation.
After the tires
have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make
certain that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in
the Index.
I
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the pa; cJ to which
it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose
after a time.
The wheel could come off and caus’e
an accident.
When you change a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt frolm places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle.
In an emergency, you can
use
a cloth or a paper towel to do this; but be
sure
to use a scraper or wire brush later, if you
need to,
to get all the rust or dirt off. (See
“Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index.)
