Pontiac 2007 Solstice - Manual (Page 285)

CAUTION: (Continued)
• Underinflated tires pose the same
danger as overloaded tires. The
resulting accident could cause serious
injury. Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended pressure.
Tire pressure should be checked when
your vehicle’s tires are cold. See
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 292.
• Overinflated tires are more likely to
be cut, punctured, or broken by a
sudden impact — such as when you
hit a pothole. Keep tires at the
recommended pressure.
• Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If the tire’s tread is badly worn, or
if your vehicle’s tires have been
damaged, replace them.
Notice: If your vehicle has P245/45R18 size
tires, they are classified as low-profile
tires. Low-profile tires are more susceptible to
damage from road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires. Tire and or wheel
assembly damage can occur when coming into
contact with road hazards like, potholes or
sharp edged objects or when sliding into
a curb. Your GM warranty does not cover this
type of damage. Keep tires set to the correct
inflation pressure and when possible avoid
contact with curbs, potholes and other
road hazards.
Winter Tires
If your vehicle has P245/45R18 size tires, they are
classified as low-profile performance tires. These
tires are designed for very responsive driving on
wet or dry pavement. If you expect to drive on snow
or ice covered roads often, you may want to get
winter tires for your vehicle. The low-profile
performance tires may not offer the traction you
would like or the same level of performance as
winter tires on snow or ice covered roads.
