Your new vehicle comes with high-quality tires made by a leading tire manufacturer. If you ever have questions about your tire warranty and where to obtain service, see your Saturn Warranty booklet for details. For additional information refer to the tire manufacturer's booklet included with your vehicle.
Caution: Poorly
maintained and improperly used tires are dangerous.
• Overloading your vehicle's tires can cause overheating
as a result of too much flexing. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See
Loading the Vehicle
. • Underinflated tires pose the same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident could cause serious injury. Check all tires frequently
to maintain the recommended pressure. Tire pressure should be checked when your vehicle's
tires are cold. See
Inflation - Tire Pressure
. • Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden impact -- such as when you hit a pothole.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure. • Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the tire's
tread is badly worn, or if your vehicle's tires have been damaged, replace them.
Notice: If your vehicle has P245/45R18 size tires, they are classified as low-profile tires. Low-profile tires are more susceptible to damage from road hazards or curb impact than standard profile tires. Tire and or wheel assembly damage can occur when coming into contact with road hazards like, potholes or sharp edged objects or when sliding into a curb. Your Saturn Warranty does not cover this type of damage. Keep tires set to the correct inflation pressure and when possible avoid contact with curbs, potholes, and other road hazards.
