Black plate (55,1) GMC Acadia/Acadia Denali Owner Manual - 2011
Vehicle Care 10-55
GM recommends replacing
tires in sets of four. This is
because uniform tread depth
on all tires will help keep the
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
the vehicle. See Tire Inspection
on page 10‑51 and Tire Rotation
on page 10‑52 for information
on proper tire rotation.
{
WARNING
Tires could explode during
improper service. Attempting to
mount or dismount a tire could
cause injury or death. Only your
dealer or authorized tire service
center should mount or dismount
the tires.
{
WARNING
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 the
vehicle. Be sure to use the
correct size, brand, and type
of tires on all wheels. It is all
right to drive with the compact
spare temporarily, as it was
developed for use on the
vehicle. See Compact Spare
Tire on page 10‑82.
{
WARNING
Using bias-ply tires on the
vehicle may cause the wheel
rim flanges to develop cracks
after many miles of driving.
A tire and/or wheel could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.
Use only radial-ply tires with
the wheels on the vehicle.
If you must replace the vehicle's
tires with those that do not
have a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same
size, load range, speed rating,
and construction type (radial
and bias‐belted tires) as the
vehicle's original tires.
