Replacement and repair
Replacing your factory fitted wheels and tyres with non standard wheels and tyres may
affect your new vehicle warranty as well as your insurance policy. Refer to the tyre
placard for tyre size and load rating. Using a different size or type of tyre may affect
ride, handling, speedometer, vehicle ground clearance, tyre clearance or snow chain
clearance.
Take care when using tyres with heavy treads, including tyres made for better grip
in the wet. At sustained high speeds, this type of tyre will run at higher temperatures
than standard tyres and consequently should only be operated within the limits
recommended by the manufacturer. Any doubts about the tyres on your vehicle should
be referred to your Holden Dealer.
New tyres should be fitted in pairs to the front. If replacing only one tyre, it should be
paired on the same axle with the least worn of the other three.
The tyres have tread wear indicators (A) which tell you when a tyre has 1.5 mm or less
of tread left.
You should replace your tyres when:
•
The tyres are worn to the point where
the tread indicators appear, or the
cord or fabric is showing. The tyres
originally fitted to your vehicle have
built-in tread indicators which show up
when the tyres are worn.
•
The tread or sidewall is cut, split, or
cracked deep enough to expose the
cord or fabric.
•
The tyre has a bump or bulge in
it, indicating some kind of internal
damage.
•
The tyre has a puncture, cut or other damage which can not be repaired because
of the size or location of the damage.
WARNING
•
The use of tyres that are a different size or construction i.e. mud or snow tyres,
may adversely affect the ESP
•
Do not attempt to drive on the flat tyre more than is necessary to stop safely.
Driving even a short distance can damage the tyre and wheel beyond repair.
Tyres which have been repaired or retreaded cannot be driven safely at high
speeds. Therefore, their use is not recommended.
