Buying New Tires

GM has developed and matched speciﬁc tires for your

vehicle. The original equipment tires installed on

your vehicle, when it was new, were designed to meet

General Motors Tire Performance Criteria Speciﬁcation

(TPC spec) system rating. If you need replacement

tires, GM strongly recommends that you get tires with

the same TPC Spec rating. This way, your vehicle

will continue to have tires that are designed to give the

same performance and vehicle safety, during normal

use, as the original tires.

GM’s exclusive TPC Spec system considers over a

dozen critical speciﬁcations that impact the overall

performance of your vehicle, including brake system

performance, ride and handling, traction control, and tire

pressure monitoring performance. GM’s TPC Spec

number is molded onto the tire’s sidewall by the

tire manufacturer. If the tires have an all-season tread

design, the TPC spec number will be followed by an MS

for mud and snow. See Tire Sidewall Labeling on

page 5-60 for additional information.

{CAUTION:

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 your vehicle. Be sure to use the same size,

brand, and type tires on all wheels.

Your vehicle may have a different size spare

than the road tires (those originally installed

on your vehicle). When new, your vehicle

included a spare tire and wheel assembly with

a similar overall diameter as your vehicle’s

road tires and wheels, so it is all right to drive

on it. Because this spare was developed for

use on your vehicle, it will not affect vehicle

handling.
