Winter Tires
If you expect to drive on snow or ice covered roads
often, you may want to get winter tires for your vehicle.
High performance tires, like the original equipment
tires installed on your vehicle, are designed for very
responsive driving on wet or dry pavement and may not
offer the traction you would like or the same level of
performance as winter tires on snow or ice covered
roads. If you choose to use winter tires:
•
Use tires of the same brand and tread type on all
four wheel positions.
•
Use only radial ply tires of the same size as your
original equipment tires.
See your Pontiac dealer for details regarding winter tire
availability and proper tire selection. Also, see Buying
New Tires on page 5-65.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
Useful information about a tire is molded into its
sidewall. The examples below show a typical passenger
car tire and a compact spare tire sidewall.
