COMPACT SPARE TIRE
Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was
new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It
should be
60 psi (420 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000 -
miles (5000 km), so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire i* u
repaired or replaced where you want. Of course, it’s best to replace your I
spare with a full-size tire as soon as you can. Your spare will last longer
and be in good shape in case you need it again.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on when
you are
driving with a compact spare. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light” in the Index.
Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.

i --
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of
I
too much friction. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “”Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
0 Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident could cause serious injury.
Check all tires frequently
to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should
be checked when your tires
are cold.
I
I Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured, or
broken by
a sudden impact, such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recornmended pressure.
@ Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been damaged, replace them.

When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
Don't forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires
will not tell you the pressure,
especially
if you have radial tires -- which may look properly inflated even
if they're underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Your tire pressures are:
Front and rear - 30 psi (210 kPa)
Optional Limousine packages:
Front and rear - 35 psi (241 kPa)
Recommended tire size is:
0 P235/70R15 (Front and rear)
0 T145/80D 16 (Compact spare)

To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled
- Maintenance Services” in the Index. Use this rotation pattern.

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.
A 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 an accident. 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. (See “Changing a Flat Tire”
in the Index.)

Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning)
traction.
Temperature - A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
Warning: The temperature grade
for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
Those grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tires.
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.
