Tires - Slipping on Wheels
Bulletin No.: T-93-93
File in Group: 3
Number: 20
Corp.Ref.No.: 393501
Date: May, 1993
SUBJECT:
TIRES SLIPPING ON WHEELS (USE PROPER TIRE MOUNTING PROCEDURE)
MODELS AFFECTED:
ALL 1988-1993 CADILLACS
Some incidents of tires slipping (rotating) on wheels have been reported on 1988-1993 passenger cars. Most incidents have occurred when driven
aggressively immediately after tire mounting. Hard acceleration and/or braking is usually required. This condition will affect wheel balance which could
result in a vibration.
To reduce the chance of tires rotating on their wheels any excess lube should be wiped from the tire and rim after tire mounting but before inflating to
seat the bead. (Never exceed 40 psi to seat the bead.) Also, the vehicle should not be driven aggressively for at least four hours after tire mounting to
allow the lube to dry.
GM Goodwrench Rubber Lubricant, P/N 12345884, is the recommended lube for tire mounting.
