You need to mark the tire with a crayon to note the start and the stop position. Next, rotate each tire and wheel by hand. And inspect the tire for bulges or bent wheels and replace them as necessary.

You need to deflate the tire completely first, then use the tire changer to remove the tire from the wheel, remove any rubber, light rust, or corrosion from the wheel bead seats, apply GM P/N 12345884 or equivalent to the tire bead and the wheel rim, install the tire to the wheel, and inflate the tire to the proper air pressure. And eventually, you need to ensure that the locating rings are visible on both sides of the tire to verify that the tire bead is fully seated on the wheel.

You should remember not to re-machine the wheel. do not use chemicals to strip the paint from the wheel. And the wheel mounting surface and the wheel nut contact surface must remain free of paint. Besides, use new coated balance weights to balance the wheel.
