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
(e.g. when a tyre is changed) should be
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to obtain full benefit from the design
properties of the tyre.
Run-flat tyres 3 must not be combined with
conventional tyres.
Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposing of tyres.
Driving and operation
Some brands of tyres have a beaded edge
for alloy wheels to protect against
damage. If wheel trim is used on steel
wheels with beaded-edge tyres, the
following specification must be followed:
z Use of wheel trims and tyres that are
approved by Vauxhall for the vehicle in
question and thereby fulfil all
requirements for the wheel and tyre
combination.
z If the wheel trims and tyres used are not
Vauxhall-approved, the tyres must not
have a beaded edge.

Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trims
could lead to sudden loss of air and
thereby accidents.
