File in Group 3E
Number 30
Corp. Ref. No 873504
Date April, 1989
SUBJECT: TIRE/WHEEL MOUNTING
MODELS AFFECTED: 1989 DE VILLES, FLEETWOODS, ELDORADOS, SEVILLES, AND ALLANTES
Continuous improvements in the manufacturing process of tires, steel and aluminum wheels, have resulted in reduced variations. Because of this, match mounting of tires and wheels at the assembly plant is no longer necessary on some models. 1989 DeVilles, Fleetwoods, Eldorados, Sevilles, and Allantes will be random mounted (not match mounted). Some tire manufacturers will continue to identify the high point of the tire with a painted dot or adhesive sticker so that match mounting can still be accomplished on other car lines.
Dealers should not dismount the tire to align the wheel's valve with the tire's high point mark.
