WHEN IT IS TIME FOR NEW

TIRES

Factors such as maintenance, tempera-

tures, 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 1.6mm (1/16 in) or less of tread

remaining. See Tire Inspection on page

9-48 and Tire Rotation on page 9-49 for

more information.

The rubber in tires ages over time. This

also applies for the spare tire, if the

vehicle has one, even if it is never used.

Multiple conditions including tempe-

ratures, loading conditions, and inflation

pressure maintenance affect how fast

aging takes place. Tires will typically

need to be replaced due to wear before

they may need to be replaced due to age.

Consult the tire manufacturer for more

information on when tires should be

replaced.

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 free of 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.

9-50 Vehicle Care

BUYING NEW TIRES

This vehicle was delivered with radial

tires. We recommend using radials of

the same size, design, tread wear,

temperature and speed rating when

replacing them.

Warning

Tires could explode during improper

service. Attempting to mount or

dismount a tire could cause injury or

death. Only your CHEVROLET

retailer or authorized tire service center

should mount or dismount the tires.

Warning

Mixing tires of different sizes,

brands, or types may cause loss of

control of the vehicle, resulting in a

crash or other vehicle damage. Use

the correct size, brand, and type of

tires on all wheels.
