Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine While the tires available as standard or optional equipment on General
Motors vehicles may vary with respect to these grades, all such tires meet
General Motors performance standards and have been approved for use
on General Motors vehicles. All passenger
type (P Metric) tires must
conform to Federal safety requirements in addition to these grades.
Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.

In most cases, you will not need to have your wheels aligned again. However,
if you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling one way or the other,
the alignment may need to be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to be rebalanced.

Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be
replaced.
If the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some aluminum wheels,
which can sometimes be repaired). See your Cadillac dealer
if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace
them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure
-
to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your Cadillac model.
