264 Technical DataTyres 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 3168. Wheels Wheel bolt tightening torque: 110 Nm. Winter tyres
3
Tyres of size 195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 17
and 225/35 R 18 must not be used as
winter tyres.
Tyres of size 185/60 R 15 are only approved
as winter tyres.
Tyres of size 185/65 R 15 are only

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 tyre sizes
195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 17 and 225/35 R 18.
Tyre chains are only approved on tyres of

whether your vehicle is equipped with a
sports chassis.
Further information 3172. Spare wheel
3
Depending on the version, the spare wheel
will be in the form of a temporary spare
wheel 3. The vehicle may handle
differently if a spare wheel has been fitted. Replace defective tyre as soon as possible,
balance wheel and fit to vehicle.
Please pay attention to the notes on this
page and on pages 173, 196.
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 pressures are valid for
cold tyres. The increased tyre pressure
resulting from extensive driving must not
be reduced. The tyre pressures specified on
the following pages apply to both summer
and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare wheel 3 to the tyre
pressure for full load – see tables on the
following pages.
Temporary spare wheel tyre pressure 3 –
see tables on the following pages.
