General information
Your vehicle is equipped with 195/65R15 tires.
The tire designation is coded as follows:
195 = tire width in mm.
60 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the section height and
the width of the tire.
R = radial tires.
15 = diameter in inches on all four wheels.
Wheels - 6" x 15" Aero Alloy
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.
NOTE: When storing wheel/tire assemblies (e.g. winter tires and wheels), either stand the assemblies
upright or suspend them off the ground. Laying wheel/tire assemblies on their sides for prolonged
periods can cause wheel and/or tire damage.
