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 Wa). After installing the
compact spare on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make
sure your spare tire is correctly inflated.
The compact spare is made to perform
well at posted speed limits for distances
up to
3,000 miles (5 000 km). Of course,
it’s best to replace your 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.
NOTICE:
If the compact spare is used as a rear
tire, do not drive faster than
50 mph
(80 km/h). Damage to the rear axle
may occur if the compact spare is
driven faster than
50 mph (80 km/h).
This speed limitation does not apply
when the compact spare is used as a
front tire.
NOTICE:
Don’t take your compact spare
through an automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact spare can
get caught on the rails. That can dam-
age the tire and wheel, and maybe
other parts of your vehicle.
Don’t use your compact spare on some
other vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare or
wheel with other wheels or tires. They
won’t fit. Keep your spare and its wheel
together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact
spare. Using them will damage your
vehicle and destroy the chains too.
Don’t use tire chains on your com-
pact spare.

Loading Your Vehicle
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.

’he other label is the Certification label,

If your vehicle, called the GVWR (Gross
rehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR
ncludes the weight of the vehicle, all
lccupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed
le GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross
ixle Weight Rating (GAWR) for either
ne front or rear axle.

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. Tire Inspection and Rotation
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.
[f you don’t have P245/50ZR16 size tires
use the rotation pattern shown above for
your size tires.
4-
f you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they
nust roll in
a certain direction for the best
werall performance. The direction is
hown by an arrow on both sidewalls.
3ecause these tires are directional, they
hould be rotated as shown
in the
:xample above. These tires should only
,e moved from front to rear and rear to
ront on the same side of the vehicle.
ifter the tires have been rotated, adjust
he front and rear inflation pressure as
.hown on
the Tire-Loading Information
abel. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
u-operly tightened. See “Wheel Nut
rorque” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When It’s Time for New Tires
One way to tell when it’s time for new
tires is to check the treadwear indicators,
which
will appear when your tires have
only
2/32 inch (1.6 mm) or less of tread
remaining.
You need a new tire if:
0 You can see the indicators at three or
more places around the tire.
0 You can see 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.
0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split. The tire
has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that can’t be repaired
well
because of the size or location of the
damage.
Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you
need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed on your vehicle when it
was new had a Tire Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec) number on each
tire’s sidewall. When you get new tires,
get ones
with that same TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle
will
continue to have tires that are designed to
give proper endurance, handling, speed
rating, traction, ride and other things
during normal service on your vehicle. If
your tires have an all-season tread design,
the TPC number
will be followed by a
“MS” (for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with those
not having a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load range,
speed rating and construction type (bias,
bias-belted or radial) as your original
tires.

rire Chains
NOTICE:
If your Chevrolet has P235/55R16 or
P245/50ZR16 size
tires, don’t use tire
chains; they can damage your vehicle.
If you have other tires, use tire chains
only when you must. Use only
SAE
Class “S” type chains that are the
proper size for your tires. Install
them on the rear tires and tighten
them as tightly
as possible with the
ends securely fastened. Drive slowly
and follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions. If you can hear the
chains contacting your vehicle, stop
and retighten
them. If the contact
continues, slow down
until it stops.
Driving too fast
with chains on will
damage your vehicle.
