Service & Appearance Care
Traction-A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are: A, B, and C. They represent
the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A
tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
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 laborat\
ory 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, underinfla\
tion, or
excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can caus\
e heat buildup
and possible tire failure.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger car tire\
s. 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 AIignment 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.
