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

Tire Inspection and Rotqtion
Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(IO 000 to 13 000 km) for any signs of unusual wear. If
unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as soon as
possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels. See “When it’s Time for New
Tires” and ‘‘Fheel Replacement” later
in this section for
more information.
The purpose
of regular rotation isto achieve more
uniform wear for
all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation
is the most important. See “Scheduled Maintenance
Services” in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals.
I 1 I I
Don’t include the compact spare tire in your
rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the
f
tire
ront and
’,
rear idlation pressures as shown. on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that
all wheeI nuts are,
properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.
When rotating
your tires, always, use the correct rotation
pattern sho.wn here.’

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
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or
less of tread remaining.
You need a new
tire if:
You can see the indicators at three or more places
around the tire.
a’ You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s ’
rubber. I
0 The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep
enough to show cord or fabric.
0 The tire has a 1 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.
Theltires installed
on your vehicle .when it was new had
a Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec)
number on each tirk’s sidewall. When you get new tires,
get ones with that same TPC Spec number. That way,
your vehicle will coniinue 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 foilowed by an
“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.
