Page 167 of the online manual (166 if you have areal paper copy) states
"Tyres
Tyres of size 195/70 R16 are only to be used as winter tyres."
Confused, does this mean 195/70 R16 if you were to have some can only be used as winter tyres
OR
If you want to put winter tyres on they must be 195/70 R16?
195/70 R16 are 2.1% out from 215/55/18. The standard a tyre on our alloys.
215/65/16 (sold as steel wheel and tyre by MyTyres are less than 1% out.
What are you guys putting Alloys with winter tyres or just bigger alloys getting back from your insurance companies?
By the way
Steel wheel only,16" from Vauxhall (part no. 95131458 is 77 quid + vat) Evans Halshaw.
Five spoke alloy, 18" (part no.13276346 is 150 quid + vat) Evans Halshaw. From my Techline VRM
Five spoke alloy, 18" (part No. v0095181597 241 quid+ vat) Bristol Street Motors.
