Technical data
Tyres Not all tyres available on the market
currently meet the structural requirements.
We recommend that you consult an Opel
Partner concerning suitable 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 3121. Winter tyres
3
Tyre sizes 185/60 R 15, 185/65 R 15,
195/45 R 16 and 195/50 R 16 are not
permitted for winter driving.
Exception: Tyres of size 185/60 R 15 may be
used as winter tyres on the Combo
Tramp/Arizona. If winter tyres are in use, the spare wheel
may still be fitted with a summer tyre. 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 3124.
Tyre chains
3
Tyre chains may be used on the front
wheels only.
We recommend the use of tyre chains with
a fine mesh that add no more than 10 mm
to the running surface and the insides of
the tyres (including chain lock).
Tyre chains are not permitted on the spare
wheel and tyres sizes 185/60 R 15,
185/65 R 15, 195/45 R 16 and 195/50 R 16.
Exception: Tyre chains on tyres of size
185/60 R 15 are permitted on Combo
Tramp/Arizona.
Tyre chains are generally permitted on
tyres of size 185/55 R 15.
Further information 3125. Wheels Wheel bolt tightening torque: 110 Nm.
Spare wheel
3
Depending on the version, the spare wheel
is designed for use as a temporary spare
wheel 3: the handling of the vehicle may
change if the spare wheel is used. Replace
a defective tyre as soon as possible,
balance the wheel and fit it to vehicle. Pay
attention to notes on this page and on
3125, 3135.
On vehicles with alloy wheels 3 the spare
wheel may have a steel rim.
The spare wheel can be fitted with a
smaller tyre
1) and a smaller rim than the
wheels fitted on the vehicle.
Tyre pressure (overpressure)The specified tyre pressure are valid for
cold tyres. The increased tyre pressure
resulting from extensive driving must not
be reduced. The tyre pressure specified on
the following pages apply to both summer
and winter tyres.
The spare wheel must always be filled with
the tyre pressure for a full load - see tables
on following pages.
Temporary spare wheel tyre pressure 3 –
see tables on the following pages.
Further information 3121 to 3125. 1)Country-specific version: The spare wheel is
only permitted for use as a temporary spare.
