If you must replace your vehicle’s tires with those that
do not have a TPC Spec number, make sure they
are the same size, load range, speed rating, and
construction type (radial and bias-belted tires) as your
vehicle’s original tires.
Your vehicle’s original equipment tires are listed on the
Tire and Loading Information Label. This label is
attached to the vehicle’s center pillar (B-pillar). See
Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-32, for more information
about the Tire and Loading Information Label and its
location on your vehicle.
Different Size Tires and Wheels
If you add wheels or tires that are a different size than
your original equipment wheels and tires, this may
affect the way your vehicle performs, including its
braking, ride and handling characteristics, stability and
resistance to rollover. Additionally, if your vehicle
has electronic systems such as, antilock brakes; traction
control; and electronic stability control, the performance
of these systems can be affected.
{CAUTION:
If you add different sized wheels, your vehicle
may not provide an acceptable level of
performance and safety if tires not
recommended for those wheels are selected.
You may increase the chance that you will
crash and suffer serious injury. Only use GM
speci c wheel and tire systems developed for
your vehicle, and have them properly installed
by a GM certi ed technician.
SeeBuying New Tires on page 5-63andAccessories
and Modi cations on page 5-3for additional information.

{CAUTION:
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle
can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you
or other people. You and they could be badly
injured or even killed. Find a level place to
change your tire. To help prevent the vehicle
from moving:
1. Set the parking brake rmly.
2. Put the shift lever in PARK (P).
3. Turn off the engine and do not restart
while the vehicle is raised.
4. Do not allow passengers to remain in the
vehicle.
To be even more certain the vehicle will not
move, you should put blocks at the front and
rear of the tire farthest away from the one
being changed. That would be the tire, on the
other side, at the opposite end of the vehicle.When your vehicle has a at tire, use the following
example as a guide to assist you in the placement of
wheel blocks.
The following information will tell you next how to use
the jack and change a tire.

The tools you will be using include the jack (A),
extension (B), and folding wrench (C).
The compact spare tire is located under the rear of the
vehicle. SeeCompact Spare Tire on page 5-86for
more information about the compact spare.
To remove the compact spare tire, do the following:A. Hoist Shaft
B. Hoist Assembly
C. Retainer
D. Compact
Spare TireE. Extension
(Chisel End)
F. Folding Wrench
1. Attach the folding wrench (F) to the extension (E)
and insert the chisel end on an angle through the
hole in the rear bumper and into the hoist shaft (A).
2. Turn the folding wrench counterclockwise to lower
the compact spare tire (D) to the ground. Continue
to turn the wrench so the compact spare tire
can be pulled out from under the vehicle.

3. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable to remove
the compact spare tire, so it can be pulled up
through the wheel opening.
If your vehicle is an AWD vehicle, after removing
the compact spare tire, turn the wrench clockwise to
raise the cable back up. On an AWD vehicle, you
can not store a full-size tire under the vehicle.
It should be stowed inside the vehicle by the cable
provided. See “Storing the Flat Tire on an
All-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” underStoring a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-83for more
information.If you have a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the hoist is
used to store a full-size or a at road tire under
the vehicle. See “Storing the Flat Tire on an
Front-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” underStoring a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-83for more
information.
4. Remove the compact spare tire from the cable.
If the compact spare tire will not lower, check under the
vehicle to see if the tire is hanging loose and the
cable end and spring under the wheel plate are missing.
If so, the secondary latch system is engaged. See
Secondary Latch System on page 5-81.
To continue changing the at tire, seeRemoving the
Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on page 5-75.

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
If the wheel has a center cap, use the handle of the
folding wrench to pry it off. Then, with the other end of
the folding wrench, loosen the nuts.
If your vehicle has the plastic bolt-on wheel covers,
loosen the bolts completely using the folding wrench,
and remove the wheel cover.Once the center cap and/or wheel cover are removed,
use the following steps to remove the at tire and install
the spare tire.
1. Loosen the wheel nuts
using the folding
wrench, but do not
remove them.
Turn the handle
counterclockwise about
180 degrees, then ip
the handle back to the
starting position. This
avoids taking the
wrench off the lug nut
for each turn.
Notice:If your vehicle has wheel locks and you use
an impact wrench to remove the wheel nuts, you
could damage the lock nut or wheel lock key. Do not
use an impact wrench to remove the wheel nuts if
your vehicle has wheel locks.
