Tire Inspection and Rotation
The tires on your vehicle should be inspected regularly
for wear. Also check for damaged tires or wheels.
SeeWhen It Is Time for New Tires on page 6-63and
Wheel Replacement on page 6-67for additional
information.
If your vehicle has P235/50R18 size tires they should
be rotated any time you notice unusual wear.
When rotating P235/50R18 size tires, always use the
correct rotation pattern shown here.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear ination pressures as shown on the tire and loading
information label, seeInation - Tire Pressure on
page 6-58andLoading Your Vehicle on page 5-33.Vehicles that have the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
system will need to have the sensors reset after a tire
rotation is performed. A special tool is needed to reset the
sensor identication codes. See your dealer for service.
Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
SeeWheel Replacement on page 6-67and “Wheel Nut
Torque” underCapacities and Specications on
page 6-92.
{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause a crash. When you change
a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from 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.

{CAUTION:
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened
wheel nuts can cause the wheel to become
loose and even come off. This could lead to a
crash. Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts.
If you have to replace them, be sure to get new
GM original equipment wheel nuts.
Notice:Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead
to brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specication.
Used Replacement Wheels
{CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You cannot know how it has been
used or how far it has been driven. It could
fail suddenly and cause a crash. If you have
to replace a wheel, use a new GM original
equipment wheel.
