Notice: The wrong wheel can
also cause problems with bearing
life, brake cooling, speedometer
or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance, and tire
or tire chain clearance to the
body and chassis.

Used Replacement Wheels
{
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.
When replacing wheels, use a
new GM original equipment
wheel.
Tire Chains
{
WARNING
If your vehicle has P215/70R16,
P235/75R16, P265/70R17, P235/
50R18, or P265/65R18 size tires,
do not use tire chains. They can
damage your vehicle because
there is not enough clearance.
Tire chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount of
clearance can cause damage to
the brakes, suspension, or other
vehicle parts. The area damaged
by the tire chains could cause you
to lose control of your vehicle and
you or others may be injured in a
crash.

WARNING (Continued)
Use another type of traction
device only if its manufacturer
recommends it for use on your
vehicle and tire size combination
and road conditions. Follow that
manufacturer's instructions. To
help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust,
or remove the device if it is
contacting your vehicle. Do not
spin the vehicle's wheels.
If you do find traction devices that
will fit, install them on the rear
tires.
Notice: If your vehicle has a tire
size other than P215/70R16, P235/
75R16, P265/70R17, P235/50R18,
or P265/65R18 use tire chains
only where legal and only when
you must. Use chains that are the
proper size for your tires. Install
them on the tires of the rear axle.
