Tyres

Not all tyres available on the market
currently meet the structural requirements.
We recommend that you consult a
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer concerning
suitable tyre makes.
These tyres have undergone special tests
to establish their reliability, safety and
specific suitability for Vauxhall vehicles.
Despite continuous market monitoring, we
are unable to assess these attributes for
other tyres, even if they have been granted
approval by the relevant authorities or in
some other form.
Further information – see page 178.

Tyres of size 195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 17 and
225/35 R 18 must not be used as winter
tyres.
Tyres of size 185/65 R 15 are only
approved as winter tyres on vehicles with
a sports suspension. We recommend that

If you use winter tyres, the spare wheel 3
may still be fitted with a summer tyre. If you
use the spare wheel, the vehicle's handling
may be altered. Obtain a replacement for
the faulty tyre as soon as possible, and
have the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.
Further information – see page 183.

Tyre chains

3
Tyre chains may be used on the front
wheels only.
We recommend the use of tyre chains with
a fine mesh that add no more than 10 mm
to the tyre tread and the insides of the tyres
(including chain lock).
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyre sizes
195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 17 and 225/35 R 18.
Tyre chains are only approved on tyres of
size 185/60 R 15 on vehicles with a sports
suspension. We recommend that you
contact your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer
in order to find out whether your vehicle is
equipped with a sports suspension.
Further information – see page 184.
Spare wheel
3
Depending on the model variant, the spare
wheel will be in the form of a temporary
spare wheel 3. The vehicle may handle
differently if a spare wheel has been fitted.
Replace defective tyre as soon as possible,
balance wheel and fit to vehicle.
Please pay attention to the notes on this
page and on pages 184, 211.
On vehicles with alloy wheels 3, the spare
wheel may have a steel rim.
The spare wheel can be fitted with a
1)
smaller tyre and a smaller rim than the
wheels fitted on the vehicle.
