1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme wheel alignment

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.’

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.
These grades are molded on the sidewalls of passenger
car tires.
Whili: 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 mo,st 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.
