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.
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 procedure must be followed:
z
Use wheel trims and tyres that are
approved by Vauxhall for the vehicle in
question and therefore meet all the
requirements pertaining to the
respective wheel/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.
