Various factors affect how quickly rubber degrades. Driving speeds, road conditions, temperatures, vehicle loading, and inflation pressure maintenance all affect how the tires on your vehicle age. If maintained properly according to the maintenance schedule, the tires on your vehicle will most likely require replacement before they become degraded due to age. A Your tires have tread wear indicators . They tell you when a tire has 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) or less of tread left. If you can see the tread wear indicators at three places around the tire, as in this picture, you need a new tire. Here are other things that mean you need to get a new tire: • The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric. • The tire has a bump, bulge or split. Note: Some commercial truck tires may not have tread wear indicators. The tire information label says what size tires you need. To determine the location of your vehicle’s tire information label, see "Vehicle Loading" in Section 3. It is recommended that you replace all four tires at the same time. Replacing fewer than four tires at one time can affect the braking and handling performance of your vehicle. When replacing tires, you should use the same size, brand, load range and construction type as the original tires on the vehicle. . . . 330

AKENG44_Escalade Page 331 Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:22 PM Section 4 CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION Mixing brands, sizes or types of tires on your vehicle (other than the tire brand/size/type originally installed on your vehicle) could cause you to lose control while driving and may also damage the vehicle. Be sure to use the correct brand, size and type tires on all wheels. Using a tire or wheel size other than the size originally installed on your vehicle may cause problems or damage to various vehicle systems, such as braking, ride and handling, and resistance to rollover, and to electronic systems like antilock brakes, traction control, stability control, or rollover air bags. If you add different sized wheels, and then if tires not recommended for those wheels are selected, your vehicle may not provide an acceptable level of performance and safety. You may increase the chance that you will crash and suffer serious injury. Only use GM specific wheel and tire systems developed for your vehicle, and have them properly installed by a GM certified technician. Never drive faster than the speed for which your tires are rated, regardless of the legal speed limit. If you anticipate driving your vehicle at high speeds frequently and/or for prolonged periods of time, check with your vehicle/tire dealer for the proper type of tires to use for your specific driving and weather conditions. NOTICE Vehicles left standing for an extended period of time may be prone to exhibit flat spotting on the tires. – – – – 331 . . .
