Senice
&
Appearance
Care
i

Tempmture-A, B,
C
(CONI)
Warning:
The
temperature
grade
for
this
tire
is established
for
a
tire that is
properly
inflated
and
not
overloaded.
Excessive
speed,
underinflation, or
excessive
loading, either separately or
in
combination,
can
cause
heat
buildup
and
possible tire Mure.
Those
grades are molded
on
the
sidewalls of passenger car tires.
While
the
tires
available
as
standard or
optional
equipment
on
General
Motors
vehicles may
vary
with
respect
to
these
grades,
all
such tires meet
General
Motors
performance
standards
and
have
been
approved
for
use
on
General
Motors
vehicles.
All
passenger
type
(P
Metric)
tires
must
conform
to
Federal
safety
requirementsin addition
to
these
grades.
Wheel
Alignment
and
Tire
Balance
The wheels
on
your
vehicle
were
aligned
and
balanced
carefully
at
the
factory
to
give
you
the
longest
tire life
and
best
overall
performance.
In
most
cases,
you
will
not
need
to
have
your
wheels
aligned
again.
However,
if
you
notice
unusual tire wear or your
vehicle
pulling
one way
or
the
other,
the
alignment may
need to be reset.
If
you
notice
your
vehicle
vibrating
when
driving
on
a
smooth
road,
your
wheels
may
need
to
be rebalanced.
Wheel
Replacement
Replace
any
wheel
that is bent,
cracked
or badly
rusted.
If
wheel
nuts
keep
coming
loose,
the
wheel,
wheel
bolts,
and
wheel
nuts
should
be
replaced.
If
the
wheel
leaks
air
out, replace it
(except
some
aluminum
wheels,
which
can
sometimes be repaired).
See
your
Oldsmobile
dealer
if
any
of
these
conditions
exist.
Your
dealer will
know
the
kind
of wheel
you need.
Each
new
wheel
should
have
the
same
load
carrying
capacity,
diameter, width,
offset,
and be mounted
the
same way as
the one
it
replaces.
If
you
need to
replace
any
of
your
wheels,
wheel
bolts, or wheel
nuts,
replace
them
only
with
new
GM
original
equipment
parts.
This
way,
you
will
be sure
to
have the
right
wheel,
wheel
bolts,
and
wheel
nuts
for
your
Oldsmobile
model.
