Cadillac ATS/ATS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

12460272) - 2019 - crc - 5/8/18

DRIVING AND OPERATING

177

Use good judgment to determine the
appropriate tire inflation pressure and
speeds for the track/course
configuration and environmental
conditions. Contact the tire
manufacturer if further assistance is
needed.

To maximize tire life, drive 800 km
(500 mi) prior to racetrack driving or
complete the minimum track running
that will increase the tire pressures by
35 kPa (5 psi). After this, immediately
let the tires cool to cold pressures.

Tire Inflation Pressure
Guidelines

Tire inflation pressures affect vehicle
handling and tire life, and should be
adjusted for various types of tracks/
courses.

Inspect the tires prior to every track/
course session. Track/course driving
will reduce the tire tread life.

Driving and Operating

{

Warning

Operating the vehicle at high speeds
can be dangerous. Improper tire
inflation pressure can put
additional strain on the tires and
can cause a sudden failure. Make
sure the tires are in excellent
condition, and use the correct cold
tire inflation pressure for the
vehicle load and track/course.

{

Warning

Tracks/courses put high loads on
tires operating at high speed, which
can lead to tire failure if not
inflated properly. Always limit
vehicle cargo to the driver plus one
passenger with no additional cargo.

{

Warning

Track/course loads wear tires both
on the tread and internal to the
tire. When driven in track/course
conditions, even if tread is not worn
down to the treadwear indicator,
tires must be replaced after the
equivalent of two tanks of fuel or
approximately 160 km (100 mi).

Tire Inflation Pressure for Tracks
with Sustained High-Speed
Operation on Banked Turns

(e.g., Daytona International Speedway,
Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
or similar)

Inflate tires to a minimum of 300 kPa
(44 psi) when cold.

Do not reduce tire inflation pressure
when hot.

Tire Inflation Pressure for Tracks
with Combined High-Speed and
High-Load Corners

(e.g., Nurburgring Nordschliefe, Spa
Francorchamps, or similar)
