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,
anti-lock 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 specic wheel and
tire systems developed for your vehicle,
and have them properly installed by a
GM certied technician.
SeeBuying New Tires on page 392and
Accessories and Modications on page 324

Tire Chains
{CAUTION:
If your vehicle has P225/75R15, P265/
75R15, P235/75R15, or P235/50R18 size
tires, do not use tire chains. They can
damage your vehicle because there is not
enough clearance. Tire chains used on
a vehicle without the proper amount of
clearance can cause damage to the
brakes, suspension, or other vehicle
parts. The area damaged by the tire
chains could cause you to lose control
of your vehicle and you or others may
be injured in a crash.
CAUTION: (Continued)

that manufacturer’s instructions. To help
avoid damage to your vehicle, drive slowly,
readjust, or remove the device if it is
contacting your vehicle. Do not spin the
vehicle’s wheels.
If you do nd traction devices that will t,
install them on the rear tires.
Notice:If your vehicle has a tire size other
than P225/75R15, P265/75R15, P235/75R15 or
P235/50R18 use tire chains only where legal and
only when you must. Use chains that are the
proper size for your tires. Install them on the
tires of the rear axle. Do not use chains on the
tires of the front axle. Tighten them as tightly
as possible with the ends securely fastened.
