Vauxhall Cavalier Tyres

The Vauxhall Cavalier mark 1 from 1975 to 1982 some fitted 165R13 tyres on 5” wheels however predominantly 185/70R13 tyres on 5.5” wheels.
We suggest either 165R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 or 185/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36.
The 185/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 was fitted to the performance models of the Manta.
The mark 2 Cavalier 1.3 Basic fitted 155 R13, for which we would suggest the 155 HR 13 Michelin XAS FF, with the 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 as an alternative.
Most of the rest of the MK2 Vauxhall Cavalier models fitted 185/70 R13, where again the 185/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 would be our suggestion.
The Vauxhall Cavalier came with tubeless wheels and tyres. However, you can fit an innertube if needed.
For 155 R13 and 165 R13 classic tyres the Michelin 13D is the correct size of innertube.
175/70 VR 13 and 185/70 VR 13 tyres can fit a Michelin 13E innertube.
From 1983 the Vauxhall Cavalier Sri 1.8 fitted 195/60R14. We suggest the 195/60 VR 14 Michelin MXV3-A.
Tyres with a profile below 70% (e.g 195/60 VR 14 Michelin MXV3-A) should not fit innertubes.
Most of the Series 3 Vauxhall Cavalier could fit 195/60 VR 14 Michelin MXV3-A.
The 195/60 VR 15 Michelin Pilot Primacy 3 is ideal for many of the MK3 Cavalier 2.0 and 2.5 litre V6 models.

History of the Vauxhall Cavalier

Built between 1975-1995 the Vauxhall Cavalier was a restyled version of the second generation Opel Ascona with the "Drop-snoot" nose of the Opel Manta. Over 250,000 would be sold, though by 2009 there were just 373 registered remaining. When Airey Neave; the Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, was assassinated it was by a car bomb placed underneath a MK 1 Vauxhall Cavalier whilst leaving the Palace of Westminster. This is however the only notable example of a Vauxhall Cavalier exploding unexpectedly.

Q: What tyres did a Vauxhall Cavalier SRi fit?

A: The majority of Vauxhall Cavalier fitted 185/70R13 tyres. The Pirelli Cinturato CN36 was a tyre that some Vauxhalls of the period fitted and they are still produced by Pirelli today. However, in 1983 the 1.8-litre fuel injection model the Cavalier SRi fitted 14” wheels with 195/60R14 tyres. Fortunately, Michelin currently make an MXV3-A.
