All about tires
Tires are one of the most important components of your Chevrolet vehicle, so please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them.
Tire safety and maintenance
It’s a good idea to check your tires at least once a month when the tires are cold, meaning the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours or no more than one mile. If your Tire Pressure Monitoring System light comes on, you can bring your vehicle to the Certified Service experts for assistance.
Types of tires
Your Chevrolet tires were specifically chosen for your vehicle to help provide a safe ride in a variety of driving and weather conditions. Different types of tires can perform better or worse —depending on conditions—so it’s important to understand how they work.
All-season
All-season tires are for year-round use and feature a blend of technologies that make use of different compounds and detailed tread configurations, designed for most driving conditions such as snow, rain, heat, cold, etc. These tires offer good overall performance on most road surfaces and in most weather conditions.
All-terrain
All-terrain tires provide good performance on most road surfaces, in most weather conditions, and for off-road driving. The tread pattern on these tires may wear more quickly than others. Consider rotating these tires more frequently than the recommended 7,500 miles if you notice irregular wear. Check your tire wear here.
Performance
Performance tires are designed for enhanced handling under demanding circumstances and generally have high-speed ratings with a low aspect ratio for improved control. These tires are not built for winter conditions.
Run-flat
Run-flat tires can be driven on with no air pressure. There is no need to stop to change the tire. Continue driving, but not too far or too fast. Driving on the tire may not be possible if there is permanent damage. To prevent permanent damage, keep speeds below 50 mph.
Winter
Winter tires are designed for increased traction on snow- and ice-covered roads. With winter tires, there may be decreased dry-road traction, increased road noise, and shorter tread life. After changing to winter tires, watch for changes in the vehicle’s handling and braking.
If you decide to use snow/winter tires:
- Use tires of the same brand and tread type on all four wheel positions.
- Use only radial ply tires of the same size, load range, and speed rating as the original equipment tires.
- Winter tires with the same speed rating as the Original Equipment tires may not be available for H, V, W, Y, X, Z, and R speed-rated tires. If winter tires with a lower speed rating are chosen, never exceed the tires’ maximum speed capability.
Summer-only
Summer tires have a special tread and compound that are optimized for maximum dry- and wet-road performance. This special tread and compound will decrease performance in cold climates and on ice and snow.
NOTE: Do not use summer tires in winter conditions, as it would adversely affect vehicle safety, performance, and durability. Use only GM-approved tire and wheel combinations. Unapproved combinations may change the vehicle’s performance. Learn more about important tire and wheel information at your dealer.
Reading a tire sidewall
The sidewall of your tire is filled with crucial information that tells you everything you need to know about the dimensions, manufacturer and other characteristics of your tire.
Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC SPEC)
Most OE tires designed to GM's specific tire performance criteria have a TPC spec code molded onto the sidewall. GM's TPC specs meet or exceed all federal safety guidelines.
Tire ply material
The type of cord and number of plies in the sidewall and under the tread.
Since tires play a major role in establishing the personality of a vehicle, many manufacturers require their tire suppliers to identify their Original Equipment (OE) tires with symbols or codes branded on the sidewalls.
The goal is to make it easier for owners to identify and select exact replacements when the OE tires wear out. Matching the original tires exactly helps maintain the vehicle's integrity.
Tire size
The tire size is a combination of letters and numbers used to define a particular tire's width, height, aspect ratio, construction type, and service description.
Department of Transportation (DOT)
The DOT code indicates that the tire is in compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The letters and numbers following the DOT code make up the TIN. The TIN shows the manufacturer and plant code, tire size, and date the tire was manufactured. The TIN is molded onto both sides of the tire, although only one side may have the date of manufacture.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG)
A tire information system that provides consumers with ratings for a tire's traction (from AA to C) and for temperature (from A to C). Tread wear is normally rated from 60 to 620. Ratings are determined by tire manufacturers using government-prescribed test procedures and are molded into the sidewall of the tire.
Maximum cold inflation load limit
This information tells the maximum load that can be carried and the maximum pressure needed to support that load. Find more information on tire pressure and inflation.
