GMC Terrain: All-Season Tires, Winter Tires and Summer Tires / Winter Tires
This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tires. Winter
tires are designed for increased
traction on snow and ice-covered
roads. Consider installing winter
tires on the vehicle if frequent
driving on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See your dealer
for details regarding winter tire
availability and proper tire selection.
Also, see Buying New Tires.
With winter tires, there may be
decreased dry road traction,
increased road noise, and shorter
tread life. After changing to winter
tires, be alert for changes in vehicle
handling and braking.
If using winter tires:
- Use tires of the same brand and
tread type on all four wheel
positions.
- Use only radial ply tires of the
same size, load range, and
speed rating as the original
equipment tires.
Winter tires with the same speed
rating as the original equipment tires
may not be available for H, V, W, Y,
and ZR speed rated tires. If winter
tires with a lower speed rating are
chosen, never exceed the tire's
maximum speed capability.

designed to provide good overall
performance on most road surfaces

This vehicle may come with high

compound that are optimized for

performance...

Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
Braking Skid — wheels are not
rolling.
Steering or Cornering Skid —
too much speed or steering in a
curve causes tires to slip and
lose cornering force.
Acceleration Skid — too much
throttle causes the driving
wheels to spin.
Defensive drivers avoid most skids
by taking reasona..
