Used Replacement Wheels

{

CAUTION:

Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You cannot know how it has
been used or how far it has been driven.
It could fail suddenly and cause a crash.
If you have to replace a wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.

Tire Chains

{

CAUTION:

Do not use tire chains. 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. 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, re-adjust or remove the device
if it is contacting your vehicle, and do not spin
your wheels. If you do find traction devices
that will fit, install them on the rear tires.
