Tire Inspection
We recommend that the
tires, including the spare
tire, if the vehicle has one,
be inspected for signs of
wear or damage at least
once a month.
Replace the tire if:
.The indicators at three or
more places around the
tire can be seen.
.There is cord or fabric
showing through the
tire's rubber.

Vehicle Care 393
.The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
.The tire has a bump,
bulge, or split.
.The tire has a puncture,
cut, or other damage that
cannot be repaired well
because of the size or
location of the damage.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated
according to the interval
specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Maintenance Schedule
0429.
Tires are rotated to
achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most
important. Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation
pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels.
If the unusual wear
continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is
Time for New Tires
0394
and Wheel Replacement
0 399.
Use this rotation pattern
when rotating the tires. Do not include the compact
spare tire in the tire
rotation.
Adjust the front and rear
tires to the recommended
inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading
Information label after the
tires have been rotated.
See Tire Pressure
0384
and Vehicle Load Limits
0 247.
Reset the Tire Pressure
Monitor System. See Tire
Pressure Monitor
Operation 0388.
Check that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and
Specifications 0438, and
“Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire”
under Tire Changing 0402.

394 Vehicle Care
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel,
or on the parts to which it
is fastened, can cause
wheel nuts to become
loose over time. The
wheel could come off and
cause a crash. When
changing a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or
paper towel can be used;
however, use a scraper
or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the inner
diameter of the wheel hub
opening with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel
change or tire rotation to
prevent corrosion or rust
buildup.{Warning
Do not apply grease to
the wheel mounting
surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts
or bolts. Grease applied
to these areas could
cause a wheel to become
loose or come off,
resulting in a crash.
When It Is Time for
New Tires
Factors, such as maintenance,
temperatures, driving speeds,
vehicle loading, and road
conditions affect the wear
rate of the tires.
Treadwear indicators are one
way to tell when it is time for
new tires. Treadwear
indicators appear when the
tires have only 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
or less of tread remaining. See
Tire Inspection 0392 and
Tire Rotation 0393.
The rubber in tires ages over
time. This also applies to the
spare tire, if the vehicle has
one, even if it is never used.
Multiple factors including
temperatures, loading
conditions, and inflation
pressure maintenance affect
how fast aging takes place.

Cadillac XT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16406251) - 2023 - CRC - 3/28/22
Vehicle Care 395
GM recommends that tires,
including the spare if
equipped, be replaced after six
years, regardless of tread
wear. To identify the age of a
tire, use the tire manufacture
date, which is the last four
digits of the DOT Tire
Identification Number (TIN)
molded into one side of the
tire sidewall. The last four
digits of the TIN indicate the
tire manufactured date. The
first two digits represent the
week and the last two digits,
the year. For example, the
third week of the year 2020
would have a 4-digit DOT date
of 0320. Week 01 is the first
full week (Sunday through
Saturday) of each year.
Vehicle Storage
Tires age when stored
normally mounted on a parked
vehicle. Park a vehicle that will
be stored for at least a month
in a cool, dry, clean area away
from direct sunlight to slow
aging. This area should be freeof grease, gasoline, or other
substances that can
deteriorate rubber.
Parking for an extended
period can cause flat spots on
the tires that may result in
vibrations while driving. When
storing a vehicle for at least a
month, remove the tires or
raise the vehicle to reduce the
weight from the tires.
Buying New Tires
GM has developed and
matched specific tires for
the vehicle. The original
equipment tires installed
were designed to meet
General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec)
system rating. When
replacement tires are
needed, GM strongly
recommends buying tires
with the same TPC Spec
rating.
GM's exclusive TPC Spec
system considers over a
dozen critical specifications
that impact the overall
performance of the vehicle,
including brake system
performance, ride and
handling, traction control,
and tire pressure
monitoring performance.
GM's TPC Spec number is
molded onto the tire's
sidewall near the tire size.
If the tires have an
all-season tread design, the
TPC Spec number will be
followed by MS for mud
and snow. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling
0378 for
additional information.
GM recommends replacing
worn tires in complete sets
of four. Uniform tread
depth on all tires will help
to maintain the
performance of the vehicle.
Braking and handling

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.
Wheel Alignment and
Tire Balance
The tires and wheels were
aligned and balanced at the
factory to provide the longest
tire life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to
wheel alignment and tire
balancing are not necessary
on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is
unusual tire wear or the
vehicle is significantly pulling
to one side or the other. Some
slight pull to the left or right,
depending on the crown of theroad and/or other road
surface variations such as
troughs or ruts, is normal.
If the vehicle is vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, the
tires and wheels may need to
be rebalanced. See your
dealer for proper diagnosis.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is
bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it.
Some aluminum wheels can be
repaired. See your dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of wheel that is needed.
Each new wheel should have
the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the
same way as the one it
replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts,
wheel nuts, or Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original
equipment parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong
replacement wheels, wheel
bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect
the braking and handling of
the vehicle. Tires can lose air
and cause loss of control,
resulting in a crash. Always
use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
{Warning
Replacing a wheel with a
used one is dangerous. How
it has been used or how far
it has been driven may be
unknown. It could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.

7. Tighten the strap and secure it using the buckle.
The compact spare is for
temporary use only. Replace
the compact spare tire with a
full-size tire as soon as
you can.
Compact Spare Tire
{Warning
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time
could result in loss of
braking and handling. This
could lead to a crash and
you or others could be
injured. Use only one
compact spare tire at a time.
If this vehicle has a compact
spare tire, it was fully inflated
when new; however, it can
lose air over time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 420 kPa (60 psi).
Stop as soon as possible and
check that the spare tire is
correctly inflated after being
installed on the vehicle. The
compact spare tire is designed
for temporary use only. The
vehicle will perform differently
with the spare tire installed
and it is recommended that
the vehicle speed be limited to
80 km/h (50 mph). To conserve
