296 Vehicle care
• Tyre pressures
• Wheel alignment and balance
New tyres should be fi tted in pairs
to the front. If replacing only one
tyre, pair it on the same axle with the
least worn of the other three.
Buying new tyres
Refer to the tyre placard on the
vehicle for tyre size and load rating.
Using a different size or type of tyre
may affect:
• Ride
• Handling
• Speedometer accuracy
• Vehicle ground clearance
• Tyre clearance
• Snow chain clearance
Tyres with heavy treads and those
made for better grip in the wet,
should only be operated within
the limits recommended by the
manufacturer.
Tyres with a higher speed or load
rating are acceptable, provided they
are fi tted to a suitable rim size.
Replacing the factory fi tted wheels
and tyres with non-genuine wheels
and tyres may affect the New
Vehicle Warranty as well as the
vehicle’s insurance policy.
Contact a Holden Dealer for advice
on suitable tyres.
Wheel alignment
and tyre balance
Improper wheel alignment or
balance can cause:
• Tyres to wear fast and unevenly
• The vehicle to pull to one side
• Vibration
If any of these problems exist,
have the vehicle checked by a
Holden Dealer.
Tyre condition is checked when
the vehicle is serviced by a Holden
Dealer. They are able to diagnose
any unusual signs of wear. If tyres
are rotated, it is recommended that
balance be checked at the same
time.
