Winter Tyres; Tyre Pressure; Tyre Designations - Opel Corsa 2010 Owner's Manual

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tyres of size 195/60 R 15,
215/45 R 17 and 225/35 R 18 must
1)
not be used as winter tyres.
Run-flat winter tyres may only be
used on factory approved alloy
wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.

Tyre designations

185 = Tyre width, mm
65 = Cross-section ratio (tyre
height to tyre width), %
R = Belt type: Radial
RF = Type: RunFlat
15 = Wheel diameter, inches
88 = Load index e.g. 88 is
equivalent to 567 kg
T = Speed code letter

Speed code letter:
Q = up to 160 km/h
S = up to 180 km/h

V = up to 240 km/h

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
wheel. This also applies to vehicles
with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Remove the valve cap key from the
fuel filler flap and use it to unscrew the
valve cap.
Vehicle care
Tyre pressure 3 193 and on the label
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter
tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
