Winter tyres 3
For notes on fitting new tyres – see
page 212.
See page 288 for restrictions.
Winter tyres improve safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all the wheels.
The design of summer tyres means they
have limited qualities for winter driving.
If the maximum permissible speed for the
winter tyres is less than that of the vehicle,
a notice indicating the maximum
permissible speed for the tyres must be
affixed within the driver’s field of vision

.
If you use the spare wheel when it is fitted
with a summer tyre, the vehicle’s
driveability may be affected, especially on
slippery road surfaces. Obtain a
replacement for the faulty tyre as soon as
possible, and have the wheel balanced
and fitted to the vehicle.
Wheel trims 3
If the wheel trims and tyres used are not
Vauxhall-approved, make sure that the
tyres do not have a beaded edge,
see page 212.
