roads is expected. All-season
tires provide adequate
performance for most winter
driving conditions, but they
may not offer the same level
of traction or performance as
winter tires on snow or
ice-covered roads. See Winter
Tires0336.
Winter Tires
This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tires.
Winter tires are designed for
increased traction on snow
and ice-covered roads.
Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See your
dealer for details regarding
winter tire availability and
proper tire selection. Also, see
Buying New Tires 0350.
With winter tires, there may
be decreased dry road
traction, increased road noise,
and shorter tread life. After changing to winter tires, be
alert for changes in vehicle
handling and braking.
If using winter tires:
.Use tires of the same brand
and tread type on all four
wheel positions.
.Use only radial ply tires of
the same size, load range,
and speed rating as the
original equipment tires.
Winter tires with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tires may not be
available for H, V, W, Y, and ZR
speed rated tires. If winter
tires with a lower speed rating
are chosen, never exceed the
tire's maximum speed
capability.
Self-Sealing Tires
This vehicle may have
self-sealing tires. These tires
have a material inside that can
seal punctures from common
road hazards, such as nails
and screws, in the tread area.
The tire may lose air pressure if the sidewall is damaged or
the tread puncture is too
large. If the Tire Pressure
Monitor System indicates the
tire pressure is low, inspect
the tire for damage and inflate
it to the recommended
pressure. If the tire is unable
to maintain the recommended
pressure, contact the nearest
authorized GM servicing
facility immediately for
inspection and repair or
replacement. To locate the
nearest GM servicing facility,
call GM Customer Assistance.
Caution
Do not drive on a deflated
self-sealing tire as this could
damage the tire. Make sure
the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure or
have it immediately repaired
or replaced.
When tire replacement is
needed replace with a
self-sealing tire, because the

350 Vehicle Care
GM recommends that tires,
including the spare if
equipped, be replaced after six
years, regardless of tread
wear. To identify the age of a
tire, use the tire manufacture
date, which is the last four
digits of the DOT Tire
Identification Number (TIN)
molded into one side of the
tire sidewall. The last four
digits of the TIN indicate the
tire manufactured date. The
first two digits represent the
week and the last two digits,
the year. For example, the
third week of the year 2020
would have a 4-digit DOT date
of 0320. Week 01 is the first
full week (Sunday through
Saturday) of each year.
Vehicle Storage
Tires age when stored
normally mounted on a parked
vehicle. Park a vehicle that will
be stored for at least a month
in a cool, dry, clean area away
from direct sunlight to slow
aging. This area should be freeof grease, gasoline, or other
substances that can
deteriorate rubber.
Parking for an extended
period can cause flat spots on
the tires that may result in
vibrations while driving. When
storing a vehicle for at least a
month, remove the tires or
raise the vehicle to reduce the
weight from the tires.
Buying New Tires
GM has developed and
matched specific tires for
the vehicle. The original
equipment tires installed
were designed to meet
General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec)
system rating. When
replacement tires are
needed, GM strongly
recommends buying tires
with the same TPC Spec
rating.
GM's exclusive TPC Spec
system considers over a
dozen critical specifications
that impact the overall
performance of the vehicle,
including brake system
performance, ride and
handling, traction control,
and tire pressure
monitoring performance.
GM's TPC Spec number is
molded onto the tire's
sidewall near the tire size.
If the tires have an
all-season tread design, the
TPC Spec number will be
followed by MS for mud
and snow. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling
0337 for
additional information.
GM recommends replacing
worn tires in complete sets
of four. Uniform tread
depth on all tires will help
to maintain the
performance of the vehicle.
Braking and handling

performance may be
adversely affected if all the
tires are not replaced at
the same time. If proper
rotation and maintenance
have been done, all four
tires should wear out at
about the same time.
However, if it is necessary
to replace only one axle set
of worn tires, place the
new tires on the rear axle.
See Tire Rotation0348.
{Warning
Tires could explode
during improper service.
Attempting to mount or
dismount a tire could
cause injury or death.
Only your dealer or
authorized tire service
center should mount or
dismount the tires.
{Warning
Mixing tires of different
sizes (other than those
originally installed on the
vehicle), brands, tread
patterns, or types may
cause loss of vehicle
control, resulting in a
crash or other vehicle
damage. Use the correct
size, brand, and type of
tire on all wheels.
{Warning
Using bias-ply tires on
the vehicle may cause the
wheel rim flanges to
develop cracks after
many miles of driving.
A tire and/or wheel could
fail suddenly and cause a
crash. Use only radial-ply
tires with the wheels on
the vehicle. Winter tires with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tires may not be
available for H, V, W, Y and
ZR speed rated tires. Never
exceed the winter tires’
maximum speed capability
when using winter tires
with a lower speed rating.
If the vehicle tires must be
replaced with a tire that
does not have a TPC Spec
number, make sure they
are the same size, load
range, speed rating, and
construction (radial) as the
original tires.
The Tire and Loading
Information label indicates
the original equipment tires
on the vehicle. See Vehicle
Load Limits

Recreational Vehicle
Towing
Recreational vehicle towing
means towing the vehicle
behind another vehicle, such
as behind a motor home. The
two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are
known as dinghy towing and
dolly towing. Dinghy towing is towing the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground. Dolly
towing is towing the vehicle
with two wheels on the
ground and two wheels up on
a device known as a dolly.
Here are some important
things to consider before
recreational vehicle towing:
.Before towing the vehicle,
become familiar with the
local laws that apply to
recreational vehicle towing.
These laws may vary by
region.
.What is the towing capacity
of the towing vehicle? Be
sure to read the tow vehicle
manufacturer's
recommendations.
.How far will the vehicle be
towed? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and
how long they can tow.
.Does the vehicle have the
proper towing equipment?
See your dealer or trailering
professional for additional
advice and equipment
recommendations.
.Is the vehicle ready to be
towed? Just as preparing
the vehicle for a long trip,
make sure the vehicle is
prepared to be towed.
Caution
Use of a shield mounted in
front of the vehicle grille
could restrict airflow and
cause damage to the
electric drive unit. The
repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. If using a shield,
only use one that attaches
to the towing vehicle.
