Buying New Tyres; Tyre Chains - HOLDEN TM BARINA Owner's Handbook Manual

Buying new tyres

Refer to the tyre placard on the
vehicle for tyre size and load rating.
Using a different size or type of tyre
may affect:
• Ride
• Handling
• Speedometer accuracy
• Vehicle ground clearance
• Tyre clearance
• Snow chain clearance
Warning
Do not use different sizes or
types of tyres and wheels than
those originally fitted to the
vehicle. Safety and performance
of the vehicle may be affected. It
may also affect handling and lead
to serious injury.
When replacing tyres, install
all four tyres and wheels of the
same size, type, tread, brand and
load-carrying capacity.

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on
the front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains
that add no more than 10 mm to
the tyre tread and the inboard
sides (including chain lock).
Vehicle care
Warning
Tyre chains may only be used
at speeds up to 50 km/h. Tyre
chains should only be used for
short distances if the roads are
not snow covered. The hard road
surface causes rapid wear and
the chain may break. Tyre chain
links should not be thicker than
10 mm and the clasp should be
well away from the bodywork.
Thicker chains may damage the
vehicle body.
