Rendezvous AWD V6-3.6L VIN 7 (2004)
Most GM vehicles are equipped with steel belted all-season radial tires as standard equipment. These tires qualify as snow tires, with a higher than
average rating for snow traction than the non-all season radial tires previously used. Other performance areas, such as wet traction, rolling resistance,
tread life, and air retention, are also improved. This is done by improvements in both tread design and tread compounds. These tires are identified by
an M + S molded in the tire side wall after the tire size. The suffix MS is also molded in the tire side wall after the TPC specification number.
The optional handling tires used on some vehicles now also have the MS marking after the tire size and the TPC specification number.
P-Metric Sized Tires Description
Most P-metric tire sizes do not have exact corresponding alphanumeric tire sizes. Replacement tires should be of the same Tire Performance Criteria
(TPC)specification number including the same size, the same load range, and the same construction as those originally installed on the vehicle.
Consult a tire dealer if you must replace the P-metric tire with other sizes. Tire companies can best recommend the closest match of alphanumeric to
P-metric sizes within their own tire lines.

^
The wheel exhibits excessive runout.
^
The wheel is bent.
^
The wheel is cracked.

Caution: If you are replacing the wheel(s), the wheel stud(s), the wheel nut(s) or the wheel bolt(s), install only new GM original
equipment parts. Installation of used parts or non-GM original equipment parts may cause the wheel to loosen, loss of tire air pressure,
poor vehicle handling and loss of vehicle control resulting in personal injury.
Notice: The use of non-GM original equipment wheels may cause:
^
