Chevrolet Silverado: Wheels and Tires / Tire Pressure for High-Speed Operation
Warning
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h (100 mph) or higher, puts additional strain
on tires. Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive heat buildup and can cause
sudden tire failure. This could cause a crash, and you or others could be killed.
Some high-speed rated tires require inflation pressure adjustment for high-speed
operation. When speed limits and road conditions allow the vehicle to be driven
at high speeds, make sure the tires are rated for high-speed operation, are in excellent
condition, and are set to the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the vehicle
load.
Tires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively.
Warning
Neither tire underinflation nor overinflation is good. Underinflated tires,
or tires that do not have enough air, can result in:
Tire overloading and overheating, which could lead to a blowout...
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check
tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle...
Other information:
The vehicle may have a compass display on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The compass receives its heading and other information from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and vehicle speed information...
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. Driving with
the engine oil low can also damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil level as soon as possible. Add oil if required,
but if the oil level is within the operating range and the oil pressure is still
low, have the vehicle serviced...
