Tyres
See page 233 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 changing over to different tyres or
wheels, obtain advice as regards technical
possibilities. We recommend that you
consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer,
who will be aware of any changes which
may need to be made. If tyre sizes different
from those fitted at the factory are used
(including winter tyres), the electronic
speedometer may need reprogramming in
order to ensure that the correct speed is
displayed.
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.
We recommend that you have your tyres
changed by a 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.
