We just purchased an 05 Vibe for my daughter and am looking for leads on the following info;front and rear floor mats (graphite)owners manualIt has P215/50R17, all-season, H-rated tires. Anybody know what the original mfg was for the tires used on the 05 vibe.Thanks!
First off, welcome!To find your floor mats & owner's manual, I'd check e-bay. For both of those I believe you should be able to get them from any year '02-'08 and they should be the same. The major changes to the Vibes was the body. Nothing major to the interior or the drivetrain.

+1 for getting manual on ebay - you can get the exact year and the pleather case too.While you're there, consider an extra remote for the keyless entry if you didn't get two, so she has a spare just in case. (that goes for the key as well) You could get the one for a Toyota Matrix; it has a panic button on the back that works with the Vibe

I can't remember the last time I looked in the printed owners manual. I can't even remember where I put it, but I don't miss it. I use the softcopy owner's manual, download it from http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1010. There are a few floor mat sets for sale on ebay today, that's probably the easiest way. Or you can try a junkyard. If you just hit the lottery, you can buy a new set from a dealer. I noticed a lot of used Vibes don't have the floor mats, even though they were standard on Vibes. Maybe sellers think the car looks cleaner with out a set of worn mats in there, which may mean the mats do a good job of protecting the carpet.Some vibes came with Continental tires, but I don't know if they ever came in 17's. They were worse than the goodyears that keithvibe is so fond of Welcome to genvibe, nice looking Vibe, lucky daughter
Nice looking Vibe! We bought an 06 for my son a couple of months ago and he loves it. We even thought about getting a second one for my wife to use instead of our Yukon everyday. The dealer got me a new manual free (a requirement of the GM Certified car program) but I found a few on ebay also pretty cheap.Good luck!
