Tyres
Restrictions
Not all tyres available on the market
currently meet the structural requirements.
We recommend that you consult an Opel
Partner concerning su itable tyre makes.
These tyres have undergone special tests
to establish their reliability, safety and
specific suitability for Opel 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 149.
Winter tyres 3
Tyres of size 235/55 R 18 are not to be used
as winter tyres. Tyres of size 215/70 R 16,
235/60 R 17 and 235/65 R 17 may be used
as winter tyres.
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 152.
Tyre chains
Restrictions
We recommend the use of Opel-tested
fine-mesh tyre chains that add no more
than 15 mm to the tyre tread and the
inboard sides (including chain lock).
Tyre chains are permitted only on tyres of
size 215/70 R 16. We recommend you
consult your Opel Partner.
