Tyres
See page 205 for suitable tyres and
restrictions.
Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to
the chassis and provide optimum driving
comfort and safety.
Changing tyre / wheel type
Before switching to different tyres or
wheels, seek advice on the technical
possibilities. We recommend that you
consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer,
who will be able to advise you of any
necessary modifications.
If tyres of a different size than those fitted
at the factory are used, the electronic
speedometer may require reprogramming
to ensure that the correct speed is
displayed.

Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroadworthy.
Fitting new tyres
Fit tyres in pairs or in sets, which is even
better. Ensure that tyres on one axle are:
z the same size
z the same design
z the same make
z and have the same tread pattern.
Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the
direction of travel. The rolling direction is
indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on
the sidewall.
Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction
(such as when changing a tyre) should be
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to benefit fully from the design
properties of the tyre.

Warning
We recommend that you have your tyres
changed by your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer, who will be familiar with the
requirements of the law as regards
disposal of tyres and can thus help to
protect the environment and your health.
