Restricti ons
Not a ll tyres ava ila ble on the market cur-
rently meet the structural requirements. We
recom mend that y ou consult a Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer concerning suitable
tyre makes.
These ty res have und ergone special tests
to establish their reliability, safety and spe-
cific suita bility for Vaux hall vehicles. De-
spite continuous m arket monitoring, we are
unable to assess these a ttributes for other
tyres, even if they have been granted ap-
proval b y the relev ant authorities or in
som e other form.
