Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual: Low-Profile Tires

Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual / Vehicle Care / Wheels and Tires / Low-Profile Tires

If the vehicle has P225/45R18 size tires, they are classified as low‐profile tires. These tires are designed for very responsive driving on wet or dry pavement, however, may produce more road noise and tend to wear faster.

Notice: Low-profile tires are more susceptible to damage from road hazards or curb impact than standard profile tires. Tire and/or wheel assembly damage can occur when coming into contact with road hazards like, potholes, or sharp edged objects, or when sliding into a curb. The warranty does not cover this type of damage.

Keep tires set to the correct inflation pressure and, when possible, avoid contact with curbs, potholes, and other road hazards.
