Buick Encore: Wheels and Tires / Tire Inspection
We recommend that the tires, including
the spare tire, if the vehicle has one, be
inspected for signs of wear or damage
at least once a month.
Replace the tire if:
- The indicators at three or more
places around the tire can be seen.
- There is cord or fabric showing
through the tire's rubber.
- The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut,
or snagged deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
- The tire has a bump, bulge, or split.
- The tire has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that cannot be repaired well
because of the size or location of the
damage.
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification code
needs to be matched to a new tire/wheel
position after rotating the vehicle’s tires or
replacing one or more of the TPMS sensors...
Tires should be rotated every 12 000 km
(7,500 mi). See Maintenance Schedule.
Tires are rotated to achieve a more
uniform wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most important...
Other information:
Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle
traction and affect your ability to stop and
accelerate. Always drive slower in these
types of driving conditions and avoid driving
through large puddles and deep-standing or
flowing water.
Warning
Wet brakes can cause crashes...
In moderate to severe frontal or near frontal
collisions, even belted occupants can contact
the steering wheel or the instrument panel.
In moderate to severe side collisions, even
belted occupants can contact the inside of
the vehicle.
Airbags supplement the protection provided
by seat belts by distributing the force of the
impact more evenly over the
occupant's body...
