Tire Wear
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Safari and 2003 Chevrolet Astro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Inspect the tire and wheel assemblies for the following conditions:
- Unusual wear such as cupping, flat spots, and/or heel-and-toe wear These conditions can cause tire growl, tire howl, slapping noises, and/or vibrations throughout the vehicle.
- Proper inflation to specifications for the vehicle
- Bulges in the sidewalls Do not confuse bulges, which are an abnormal condition, with normal ply splices which are commonly seen as indentations in the sidewall.
- Bent rim flanges
