Appearance Care
Temperature-A,
8,
C
~
N
T
J
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.
Those
grades are molded
on the
sidewalls of passenger car tires.
While
the
tires
available as standard or
optional
equipment on General
Motors
vehicles may
vary
with
respect
to
these
grades,
all
such
tires
meet
General
Motors
performance
standards
and
have
been
approved
for
use
on
General
Motors
vehicles.
All
passenger
type
(P
Metric)
tires
must
conform
to
Federal
safety
requirements
in
addition
to
these
grades.
234
Wheel
Alignment
and
Tire
Balance
The
wheels
on
your
vehicle
were
aligned
and
balanced
carefully
at
the
factory
to
give
you
the
longest tire life
and
best
overall
performance.
In
most
cases, you
will
not
need
to
have
your
wheels
aligned
again.
However,
if
you notice
unusual
tire
wear or your
vehicle
pulling
one way or the
other,
the
alignment may
need
to
be reset. If
you
notice
your
vehicle
vibrating
when
driving on a smooth
road,
your
wheels
may
need
to
be rebalanced.
Wheel
Replacement
Replace
any
wheel
that
is
bent,
cracked
or badly
rusted. If
wheel
nuts
keep
coming
loose,
the
wheel,
wheel
bolts,
and
wheel
nuts
should be replaced. If
the
wheel
leaks air
out, replace
it
(except
some
aluminum
wheels,
which
can
sometimes
be
repaired).
See
your
Chevrolet
dealer if
any
of these
conditions
exist.
Your dealer
will
know
the
kind
of
wheel
you need.
Each
new
wheel
should
have
the
same
load
carrying
capacity,
diameter,
width,
offset,
and
be
mounted
the
same way as
the
one
it
replaces.
If
you
need
to
replace
any
of
your
wheels,
wheel
bolts, or wheel
nuts,
replace
them
only
with
new
GM
original
equipment
parts.
This way,
you
will
be sure you
have the
right
wheel,
wheel
bolts,
and
wheel
nutsfor your
Chevrolet
model.
