General information
Your vehicle is equipped with 6 x 15" (Turbo models 7 x 15") wheel rims and 205/60R15 tires. In other

205 = tire width in mm.
60 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between tire section height and the width of the tire.
R = radial tires.
15 = suitable intended rim size.
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It
should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ice-free
surfaces. For optimum road holding on icy or snow covered roads - we recommend suitable winter tires.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and
preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's
road-holding and handling characteristics.
