Default Sawblade Number?

There are stickers on my sawblade wheels off the 96, and they have a number on them either a 1 or 2. Anyone know what those numbers mean? See pic:

i was not aware that they were front and rear specific.
Only if they have LTPWS sensors.

The wheel and tire assemblies with the LTPWS sensors were assembled at an outside source, then shipped to Bowling Green for installation on the line. Each sensor has a discreet I.D. code that it transmits to the receiver; the receiver needs to 'see' all 4 sensors in operation. If not, it sets a code for the faulty sensor that didn't 'report'. The LTPWS sensors need to be in the correct locations on the car in order for the diagnostics codes to correlate with where a faulty sensor is actually located. So the plant used the "1" and "2" to get the lefts and rights on the correct end of the car.

Beginning in 1993, the front and rear wheels were different widths, and the tires were different sizes as long as it wasn't a Z07 or Z51. Did the LTPWS decals still have the "1" and the "2"? I don't know if they do or don't. (EDIT: I see that the OP's car is a 96. So it looks like they still have the 1 and 2.)

Outstanding responce. The LTPWS yes of coarse! That makes perfect sense, the wheels dont care at all where they are but the sensors sure do. Thanks mate!
