This chapter contains manufacturer-approved tyre / rim combinations, divided
into modules according to the individual model variants.
Shared combinations are initially to be sought for the model variant (Roomster GreenLine, Roomster Scout and such like) and then according to the engine
size of your vehicle.
If the model variant of your vehicle cannot be found in the discrete module,
then the approved combinations are to be found according to the engine size
of your vehicle in module » page 161, Roomster .
Only use radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and tread
pattern on one axle on all four wheels.
When mounting new tires the tires have to be replaced axle by axle.
The information listed in the table corresponds to the information available at the time of going to press.
The approved tyre / rim combinations for your car are given on the sales and
technical vehicle documentation.
