Used Replacement Wheels

CAUTION:

Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is

dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used or

how far it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly

and cause an accident. If you have to replace a

wheel, use a new GM original equipment wheel.

Tire Chains

NOTICE:

If your vehicle has P225/50R16 size tires, don’t

use tire chains. They can damage your vehicle

because there’s not enough clearance.

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

NOTICE: (Continued)

instructions. To help avoid damage to your

vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or remove the

device if it’s contacting your vehicle, and don’t

spin your wheels.

If you do find traction devices that will fit, install

them on the front tires.

If you have other tires, use tire chains only where

legal and only when you must. Use only SAE

Class “S” type chains that are the proper size for

your tires. Install them on the front tires and

tighten them as tightly as possible with the ends

securely fastened. Drive slowly and follow the

chain manufacturer’s instructions. If you can

hear the chains contacting your vehicle, stop and

retighten them. If the contact continues, slow

down until it stops. Driving too fast or spinning

the wheels with chains on will damage

your vehicle.
