Tyres
Restrictions
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 214.
Winter tyres
3
Tyres of size 215/50 R 17, 225/45 R 18 and
235/35 R 19 are not to be used as winter
tyres.
Only the winter tyres specified on page 306
may be used on vehicles factory-fitted with
235/35 R 19 tyres.
For Vectra VXR, tyres of size 225/45 R 17 on
a Vauxhall-approved alloy wheel with
designation 7x17, ET39 as well as tyres of
size 235/40 R 18 are permissible as winter
tyres.
If winter tyres are in use, the spare wheel
may still be fitted with a summer tyre. Use
of the spare wheel may alter vehicle
handling. 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 219.
Tyre chains
3
Restrictions
Tyre chains may be used on the front
wheels only.
We recommend the use of Vauxhall-tested
fine-mesh tyre chains that add no more
than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the
inboard sides (including chain lock).
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyre sizes
115/70 R 16, 215/50 R 17, 225/45 R 18,
235/40 R 18 and 235/35 R 19.

Wheels
Wheel bolt tightening torque: 110 Nm.
On vehicles with alloy wheels
3 the spare
wheel may have a steel rim.
Depending on the version, the spare wheel
will be in the form of a temporary spare
wheel. The vehicle may handle differently if
a spare wheel has been fitted.
The spare wheel can be equipped with a
smaller tyre and a smaller rim
1)
: the vehicle
may handle differently if the spare wheel
has been fitted.
Replace defective tyre as soon as possible,
balance wheel and fit to vehicle.
Tyre pressure in bar/psi
The specified tyre pressures are valid for
cold tyres. The increased tyre pressure
resulting from extensive driving must not
be reduced. The tyre pressures specified on
the following pages apply to both summer
and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare wheel to the tyre
pressure for full load - see tables on
following pages.
Temporary spare wheel tyre pressure - see
tables on next page.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring
system 3 there is an adapter in the valve
cap key. Screw adapter to valve before
attaching tyre pressure gauge – see
page 215.
Further information – see pages 214
to 219.

Country-specific version: The spare wheel is
only to be used as a temporary spare wheel.
