Your new Cadillac comes with high-quality tires made
by a leading tire manufacturer.
If you ever have
questions about your tire warranty and where
to obtain
service, see your Cadillac Warranty booklet
for details.
A CAUTION:
Poorly maintained and improperly used tires are
dangerous.
0 Overloading your tires can cause overheating
as a
result of too much friction. You could
have
an airout and a serious accident. See
‘Zoading Your Vehicle”
in the Index.
0 Underinflated tires pose the same danger as
overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
0 Overinflated tires are more likely to be
cut, punctured
or broken by a sudden
impact
-- such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure.
0 Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread
is badly worn, or if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
See “Inflation
-- Tire Pressure” in this section
for inflation pressure adjustment for higher
speed driving.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Tire-Loading Information label, which is located
on the rear edge of the driver’s door, 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
1 mile (1.6 km).
If you’ll
be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph
(160 Wh) where it is legal, raise the cold inflation
pressure of each tire
to 35 psi (240 Pa). 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 underinflation or
overinflation is all right.
it’s not. If‘ your tires
don’t have enough air (underinflation),
you can
get the following:
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 the following:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.

Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure.
You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they‘re underinflated.
Be sure
to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tires should be rotated every
4,000 to 8,000 miles
( IO 000 to 13 000 km). Any time you notice unusual
wear, 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
”Wheel Replacement” later
in this section for
more information. The purpose
of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for
all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation
is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services’‘
in thc Maintcnance Schedule
booklet for
schedulcd rota~io~~ inttwals.
When rotating your tires. al\vays use the con-t‘ct rotation
pattern
shown here.
Don’t include the compact spare tire
in your tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and
rear inflation pressures
as show on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all wheel
nuts
are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in
the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A CAUTION:
I
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which
it
is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose
after a time. The wheel could come off and cause
an accident. When you change a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle.
In an emergency, you can
use a cloth
or a paper towel to do this; but be
sure to use a scraper
or wire brush later, if you
need to, to get all the
rust or dirt off. (See
“Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index.)
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 ifzany of the following statements
are true:

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

your vehicle will continue to have tires that are designed
to give proper endurance: handling, speed rating.

If you ever replace your tires with those not having a
TBC 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.
I A CAUTION:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while
driving.
If you mix tires of different sizes or types
(radial and bias-belted tires), the vehicle may not
handle properly, and you could have a crash.
Using tires
of different sizes may also cause
damage to your vehicle. Be sure
to use the same
size and type tires on
all wheels.
It's all right to drive with
your compact spare,
though. It was developed for use
on your vehicle.
