(5) Tire Ply Material:The type of cord
and number of plies in the sidewall and
under the tread.
(6) Uniform Tire Quality Grading
(UTQG)
:Tire manufacturers are
required to grade tires based on three
performance factors: tread wear,
traction, and temperature resistance.
For more information, see Uniform Tire
Quality Grading 0359.
(7) Maximum Cold Inflation Load
Limit
:Maximum load that can be
carried and the maximum pressure
needed to support that load. For
information on recommended tire
pressure see Tire Pressure 0349 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0214.
(8) Temporary Use Only
:Only use a
temporary spare tire until the road tire
is repaired and replaced. This spare tire
should not be driven on over 112 km/h
(70 mph), or 88 km/h (55 mph) when
pulling a trailer, with the proper
inflation pressure. See Full-Size Spare
Tire 0373.
Tire Designations
Tire Size
The example shows a typical passenger
vehicle tire size.
Passenger (P-Metric) Tire
(1) Passenger (P-Metric) Tire:The
United States version of a metric tire
sizing system. The letter "P" as the first
character in the tire size means a
passenger vehicle tire engineered to
standards set by the U.S. Tire and Rim
Association.
(2) Tire Width
:The 3-digit number
indicates the tire section width in
millimeters from sidewall to sidewall. (3) Aspect Ratio
:A 2-digit number that
indicates the tire height-to-width
measurements. For example, if the tire
size aspect ratio is 75, as shown in
item (3) of the illustration, it would
mean that the tire's sidewall is
75 percent as high as it is wide.
(4) Construction Code
:A letter code is
used to indicate the type of ply
construction in the tire. The letter "R"
means radial ply construction; the letter
"D" means diagonal or bias ply
construction.
(5) Rim Diameter
:Diameter of the
wheel in inches.
(6) Service Description
:These
characters represent the load index and
speed rating of the tire. The load index
represents the load carrying capacity a
tire is certified to carry. The speed
rating is the maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load.

pressure listed on the tire sidewall. See
Tire Sidewall Labeling0345 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0214.
If the tire is overinflated by more than
35 kPa (5 psi), the horn will sound multiple
times and the turn signal lamp will continue
to flash for several seconds after filling
stops. To release and correct the pressure,
while the turn signal lamp is still flashing,
briefly press the center of the valve stem.
When the recommended pressure is reached,
the horn sounds once.
If the turn signal lamp does not flash within
15 seconds after starting to inflate the tire,
the tire fill alert has not been activated or is
not working.
If the hazard warning flashers are on, the
tire fill alert visual feedback will not work
properly.
The TPMS will not activate the tire fill alert
properly under the following conditions:
.There is interference from an external
device or transmitter.
.The air pressure from the inflation device
is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
.There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
.There is a malfunction in the horn or turn
signal lamps.
.The identification code of the TPMS
sensor is not registered to the system.
.The battery of the TPMS sensor is low.
If the tire fill alert does not operate due to
TPMS interference, move the vehicle about
1 m (3 ft) back or forward and try again.
If the tire fill alert feature is not working,
use a tire pressure gauge.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process —Auto
Learn Function
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification code
needs to be matched to a new tire/wheel
position after rotating the tires or replacing
one or more of the TPMS sensors. When a
tire is installed, the vehicle must be
stationary for about 20 minutes before the
system recalculates. The following relearn
process takes up to 10 minutes, driving at a
minimum speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
A dash (-) or pressure value will display in
the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Uplevel) 0126 or Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level)
0
124. A warning message displays in the
DIC if a problem occurs during the relearn
process.
Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring
Operation
If equipped, the Trailer Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TTPMS) is designed to
monitor the pressure of the trailer tires and
warn the driver when a low pressure
condition exists. TTPMS sensors for four tires
are provided. The system can accommodate
a trailer with up to six tires if additional
sensors are purchased from the dealer. Also,
the system can be paired with up to five
individual trailers.
Prior to use, the vehicle must learn the
sensors by following the learning process.
See Trailering App 0298.

Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/
Mexico-15555985) - 2022 - CRC - 12/3/21
Vehicle Care 355
Contact your trailer service center or tire
service center to have the pressure sensors
installed inside the trailer tires. The
technician should insert the sensor stem
through the hole in the trailer wheel. When
the sensor is correctly positioned, the nut on
the sensor stem should be tightened to
8Y (6 lb ft). When mounting the trailer
tire onto the trailer wheel be careful not to
damage the sensor.
The Trailering App can be used to view the
tire pressures after the recommended trailer
tire pressures have been entered. Refer to
the trailer tire placard on the trailer or the
trailer tire sidewall for the recommended
tire pressure. The system is compatible with trailer tires
that have placard pressure values from 103 -
689 kpa (15 - 100 psi). The hole in the wheel
for the tire stem must be 11.43 mm
(0.453 in) in diameter. Use of the pressure
sensors on a wheel with a different stem
hole size could result in loss of air from
the tire.
If a low trailer tire pressure condition is
detected, the TTPMS displays a warning
message on the DIC. If the warning message
is displayed, stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the tire placard on the
trailer.
In addition, the TTPMS monitors the
temperature of the trailer tires. If the
system detects a high temperature on one
or more of the trailer tires, a warning
message will be displayed on the DIC. If this
warning message is displayed, stop as soon
as possible, and inspect the overheated
trailer tire. Common causes for high trailer
tire temperature are underinflation,
overloading, or tire damage.
TTPMS Malfunction Message
The TTPMS will not function properly if one
or more of the trailer tire sensors are
missing or inoperable. If the system detects
a malfunction, a DIC message indicates that
the system requires service. Some of the
conditions that can cause the service
message to occur are:
.One of the trailer tires has been replaced
with the spare tire which does not have a
learned TTPMS sensor. The DIC message
should turn off after the pressure sensor
is installed in the tire, and the learning
process is performed successfully. See
"TTPMS Sensor Learning Process" under
Trailering App
0298.
.The TTPMS sensor learning process was
not done or not completed successfully.
The DIC message should go off after
successfully completing the sensor
learning process. See "TTPMS Sensor
Learning Process" under Trailering App
0 298.
.One or more TTPMS sensors are missing
or damaged. The DIC message should go
off when the TTPMS sensors are installed
and the sensor learning process is

performed successfully. See "TTPMS
Sensor Learning Process" underTrailering
App 0298.
.Operating electronic devices or being near
facilities using radio wave frequencies
similar to the TTPMS could cause
interference to the TTPMS which could
cause loss of signal reception from the
sensor.
.If the system does not receive the signal
from an individual sensor, an error
message may not occur until the vehicle
has been driver for a period of time.
If the TTPMS is not functioning properly, it
cannot detect or signal a low tire condition.
See your dealer for service if the DIC
message comes on and stays on when the
trailer tire pressures have been checked and
determined to be correct.
Tire Inspection
We recommend that the tires, including
the spare tire, if the vehicle has one, be
inspected for signs of wear or damage
at least once a month.
Replace the tire if:
.The indicators at three or more
places around the tire can be seen.
.There is cord or fabric showing
through the tire's rubber.
.The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut,
or snagged deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
.The tire has a bump, bulge, or split.
.The tire has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that cannot be repaired well
because of the size or location of the
damage.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 12 000 km
(7,500 mi). See Maintenance Schedule
0 390.
Tires are rotated to achieve a more
uniform wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate
the tires as soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation pressure, and check
for damaged tires or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel alignment. See
When It Is Time for New Tires 0357
and
Wheel Replacement 0360.
Use this rotation pattern when rotating
the tires.
Do not include the spare tire in the tire
rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tires to the
recommended inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated. See Tire
Pressure 0349 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0214.

5. Route the hook end of the strap throughthe wheel, as shown.
6. Attach the hook to the other cargo tie-down in the rear of the vehicle.
7. Tighten the strap.
Full-Size Spare Tire
If this vehicle came with a full-size spare
tire, it was fully inflated when new,
however, it can lose air over time.
Check the inflation pressure regularly.
See Tire Pressure 0349 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0214 for information
regarding proper tire inflation and loading
the vehicle. For instructions on how to
remove, install, or store a spare tire, see Tire
Changing 0363. If equipped with a temporary use full-size
spare tire, it is indicated on the tire sidewall.
See
Tire Sidewall Labeling 0345. This spare
tire should not be driven on over 112 km/h
(70 mph), or 88 km/h (55 mph) when
pulling a trailer, at the proper inflation
pressure. Repair and replace the road tire as
soon as it is convenient, and stow the spare
tire for future use.
Caution
If the vehicle has four-wheel drive and a
different size spare tire is installed, do
not drive in four-wheel drive until the flat
tire is repaired and/or replaced. The
vehicle could be damaged and the repairs
would not be covered by the warranty.
Never use four-wheel drive when a
different size spare tire is installed on the
vehicle.
The vehicle may have a different size spare
tire than the road tires originally installed
on the vehicle. This spare tire was developed
for use on this vehicle, so it is all right to
drive on it. If the vehicle has four-wheel
drive and a different size spare tire is
installed, drive only in two-wheel drive. After installing the spare tire on the vehicle,
stop as soon as possible and check that the
spare is correctly inflated. The spare tire is
made to perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 MPH) at the recommended
inflation pressure, so you can finish
your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire repaired
or replaced and installed back onto the
vehicle as soon as possible so the spare tire
will be available in case it is needed again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of difference
sizes, because they will not fit. Keep the
spare tire and its wheel together.
If the vehicle has a spare tire that does not
match the original road tires and wheels in
size and type, do not include the spare in
the tire rotation.
