Vehicle Care
Warning (Continued)
an emergency, a cloth or a paper
towel can be used; however, use
a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the centre of the
wheel hub with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or
tyre rotation to prevent corrosion
or rust build-up. Do not get
grease on the flat wheel
mounting surface or on the
wheel nuts or bolts.
When It Is Time for New
Tyres
Factors such as maintenance,
temperatures, driving speeds,
vehicle loading, and road conditions
affect the wear rate of the tyres.
Tread wear indicators are one way
to tell when it is time for new tyres.
Tread wear indicators appear when
the tyres have only 1.6 mm or less
of tread remaining. See
and
The rubber in tyres ages over time.
This also applies to the spare tyre,
if the vehicle has one, even if it is
never used. Multiple factors
including temperatures, loading
conditions, and inflation pressure
maintenance affect how fast aging
takes place. GM recommends that
tyres, including the spare if
equipped, be replaced after six
years, regardless of tread wear.

vehicle for tyre size and load rating.
