Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found on the driver's door tells you
the proper
size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about
the number of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight
of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed
options.

The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity
of your vehicle, called
the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight
of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear
axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than

TIRES
i i
We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made
by a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire
manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with every new Cadillac.
If your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a
tire warranty folder from each of these manufacturers.

The Tire-Loading Information label which is shows the correct inflation
pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has
been sitting
for at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.
SLS (270 hp)
If you’ll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph (160 km/h) where it is
legal, raise the “cold” inflation pressure
of each tire to 35 psi (240 kPa).
When you end this
very high speed driving, reduce the “cold” inflation
pressures to those listed
on the Tire-Loading Information label.

NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underidlation or overinflation is
all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t have enough air
(underinflation) you can get:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have
too much air (overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.

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.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
The
SLS tire pressures are:
Front - 28 psi (190 kPa)
Rear - 26 psi (180 Pa)
SLS recommended tire size is:
Michelin XW4 Blackwall (P225/60R16)
