.- . Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found on the driver’s door tells you
the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires
on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about
the number
of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed
options. ..-

We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made
by
a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire
manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with every new Cadillac.
If your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a
tire warranty folder from each of these manufacturers.

Inflation = Tire Pressure I
The Tire-Loading Information label which is located on the driver’s door
shows the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re cold.
“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for
at least three hours or
driven no more than a mile.

NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underinflation or overinflation is
all right. It’s not.
If your tires don’t have enough air
(underinflation) you can get:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
The tire pressures are:
Front - 30 psi (207 kPa)
Rear - 30 psi (207 kPa)
Recommended tire size
is:
Michelin XW4 Blackwall (P215/70R15)
T125/70RIS (Compact Spare)
c-
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at
the tires will not tell you the pressure,
especially
if you have radial tires -- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection -and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected andxotated. at the
mileages recommended
in the Maintenance Schedule.
Use this rotation
pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that all
wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one
and a half
(1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded
100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences
in road characteristics and climate.
Traction - A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces
sf asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.
Temperature = A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation
of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire €ailure. The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
Warning: The temperature grade for this tire
is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.
