▶ Protect tyres from contact with lubricants and
fuel.
▶ Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry and,
where possible, dark place. Tyres without rims
should be stored in an upright position.
▶ Alloy rims can be damaged by grit.
▶ Do not use light alloy rims with a high-sheen sur-
face in wintry weather conditions or with snow
chains
Causes of uneven tyre wear
▶ Improper tyre pressure.
▶ Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration
and deceleration).
▶ Wheel alignment errors.
▶ Incorrect wheel balancing.
Wheel changes
For uniform wear on all
tyres, we recommend
that you change the
wheels every 10,000 km
according to the sched-
ule.
Advice for tyre assembly
› With directional tires, the correct direction of rota-
tion must be observed. The direction of rotation of
the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the
tyre.
› Always replace the tyres by the axle.
Additional information
Only fit radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling cir-
cumference) and the same tread pattern on one axle.
Approved tyre sizes are speified in the technical ve-
hicle documentation and in the declaration of con-
formity (in the so-called COC Document).
The declaration of conformity can be obtained from
a ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and some
models).
