2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO tire pressure

{CAUTION:
If you use bias-ply tires on your vehicle,
the wheel rim anges could develop
cracks after many miles of driving. A tire
and/or wheel could fail suddenly, causing
a crash. Use only radial-ply tires with the
wheels on your vehicle.
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.Vehicles that have a tire pressure monitoring
system may give an inaccurate low-pressure
warning if non-TPC spec rated tires are installed
on your vehicle. Non-TPC Spec rated tires
may give a low-pressure warning that is higher or
lower than the proper warning level you would
get with TPC Spec rated tires. SeeTire Pressure
Monitor System on page 563.
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). SeeLoading Your Vehicle on page 427,
for more information about the Tire and Loading
Information Label and its location on your vehicle.

3. Assemble the wheel blocks and jack together
with the wing nut and retaining hook.
If you have the Regular Cab, the wheel blocks
must be placed straight up and down on the
top of the jack.
4. Position the jack in the mounting bracket.
Position the holes in the base of the jack
onto the pin in the mounting bracket.
5. Return them to their original location in the
vehicle. For more information, refer to
Removing the Spare Tire and Tools on
page 582for more information.
Spare Tire
Your vehicle may or may not have a spare tire
depending on the model. A spare tire may lose air
over time, so check its ination pressure regularly.
SeeInation - Tire Pressure on page 561and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 427for information
regarding proper tire ination and loading your
vehicle. For instruction on how to remove, install or
store a spare tire, seeRemoving the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire on page 586andStoring a
Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 596.Notice:If your vehicle has four-wheel drive
and the different size spare tire is installed on
your vehicle, do not drive in four-wheel
drive until you can have your at tire repaired
and/or replaced. You could damage your
vehicle, and the repair costs would not be
covered by your warranty. Never use
four-wheel drive when the different size spare
tire is installed on your vehicle.
Your vehicle may have a different size spare tire
than the road tires originally installed on your
vehicle. This spare tire was developed for use
on your vehicle, so it is all right to drive on
it. If your vehicle has four-wheel drive and the
different size spare tire is installed, keep the
vehicle in two-wheel drive.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make
sure the spare tire is correctly inated. Have the
damaged or at road tire repaired or replaced
as soon as you can and installed back onto your
vehicle. This way, the spare tire will be available
in case you need it again.
