Buying New Tires

GM has developed and matched speciﬁc tires for your

vehicle. The original equipment tires installed on your

vehicle, when it was new, were designed to meet General

Motors Tire Performance Criteria Speciﬁcation (TPC

spec) system rating. If you need replacement tires,

GM strongly recommends that you get tires with the

same TPC Spec rating. This way, your vehicle will

continue to have tires that are designed to give the same

performance and vehicle safety, during normal use, as

the original tires.

GM’s exclusive TPC Spec system considers over a

dozen critical speciﬁcations that impact the overall

performance of your 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 a MS, for mud and snow.

See Tire Sidewall Labeling on page 5-66 for additional

information.

GM recommends replacing tires in sets of four (or six if

your vehicle has dual rear wheels). This is because

uniform tread depth on all tires will help keep your vehicle

performing most like it did when the tires were new.

Replacing less than a full set of tires can affect the

braking and handling performance of your vehicle. See

Tire Inspection and Rotation on page 5-80 for information

on proper tire rotation.

{ CAUTION:

Mixing tires could cause you to lose control

while driving. If you mix tires of different

sizes, brands, or types (radial and bias-belted

tires) the vehicle may not handle properly,

and you could have a crash. Using tires of

different sizes, brands, or types may also

cause damage to your vehicle. Be sure to

use the correct size, brand, and type of tires

on your vehicle’s wheels.
