    NOTE: When mounting the tires, use an approved tire mounting lubricant. DO NOT use silicon or corrosive base compounds to lubricate the tire bead and the wheel rim. A silicon base compound can cause the tire to slip on the rim. A corrosive type compound can cause tire or rim deterioration.
  2. Apply GM Goodwrench Rubber Lubricant, GM P/N 12345884 (Canadian P/N 5728223), or equivalent, to the tire beads and to the wheel bead seats.

    CAUTION: To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, relubricate the beads and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal injury.
    IMPORTANT: Ensure the valve core is not in the valve stem.
  8. Inflate the tire until the beads pass over the bead humps.
