Used Replacement Wheels

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

INOTICE:

If

your Chevrolet has

P225/60R16

size

tires,

don’t

use

tire

chains. They

can

damage

your

vehicle

because

there’s

not enough clearance.

NOTICE:

(Continued)

NOTICE:

(Continued)

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, 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.
