Vauxhall Viva Tyres

1964 Vauxhall Viva HA

Vauxhall Viva 1963–1979

Vauxhall Viva HA Tyres 1963–1966

• The Viva HA fitted 550 - 12 or 145 R12 tyres.
• In the 550 - 12 crossply size we have the 5.50 x 12 Camac, however, this is a budget tyre.
• We recommend fitting the radial 145 SR 12 Michelin MX tyre.

1969 Vauxhall Viva HB

Vauxhall Viva HB Tyres 1966–1970

• The Viva HB L, DL, and SL fitted 6.2-12 or 155 R12 tyres.
• 6.2-12 tyres are not in production, we recommend fitting 155 R12 tyres, of which we have the 155 R 12 Nankang.
• The Viva HB 90, 90SK, 1600, 1600LS, and Brabham variants fitted 6.2-12 or 155 R12 tyres. We suggest a set of 155 R 12 Nankang tyres.
• The Viva HB GT fitted 155 R13 or 165/70 R13 tyres.
• There is not a classic tyre currently made in the 165/70 R13 size, we recommend the 155R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 for the Viva HB GT.
• The Viva HB Estate fitted 6.2-12 or 155R12 tyres. In this size the best Viva HB Estate tyre is the 155 R 12 Nankang.

1974 Vauxhall Viva HC Deluxe

Vauxhall Viva HC Tyres 1970–1979

• The Viva HC 1.3 GLS, 1.8 Saloons and Estates, and the HCE 2 door and 4 door variants fitted either 560 - 13, 155 R13, or 175/70 R13 tyres.
• If you want crossply tyres we have the 5.60 x 13 Camac.
• Some HC Saloon models may have originally fitted 520 - 13 crossply tyres. We have the 5.20 x 13 Camac, but we recommend switching to 155R13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 or 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 tyres.
• Estate variants were also fitted with either 5.60-13, 155 R13, or 175/70 VR 13 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36 tyres.

1969 Vauxhall Viva HB GT

Vauxhall Viva Innertubes

• Viva models with 3.5" and 4" wide wheels need innertubes. Wheels this narrow do not feature the safety rib seen on larger wheels, making innertubes a must-have for safety reasons.
• Viva models with 4.5" and 5" wheels are tubeless, provided they are also fitting tubeless radial tyres.
• Most crossply tyres are tube-type and require innertubes to properly and safely function. See our period fitment guides for more information.
• The correct Vauxhall Viva innertubes for 145 R12 tyres is the Michelin 12CG.
• The ideal Viva tube for 550 - 12 and 155 - 12 tyres is the Michelin 12D.
• The best innertube for a Viva on 155 R13 or 5.60 - 13 tyres is the Michelin 13D.
• The correct Viva innertube for 175/70 R13 tyres is the Michelin 13E.

The Vauxhall Viva shared structural and mechanical components with the and Opel Kadett. The Vauxhall Viva HA (1963–1966), introduced shortly after the Opel Kadett A (1962–1965), used a similar floorpan and engine construction, though most parts were not directly interchangeable due to metric versus imperial measurements. Later Viva models also shared some elements of later Opel Kadett cars.
