Only use tyres or wheel rims that have been approved by ŠKODA for your mod-
el of vehicle.
WARNING
For reasons of driving safety, do not replace tyres individually.
Note
■
We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres be carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.
■
We recommend that you use wheel rims, tyres, full wheel trims and snow
chains from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Notes on using wheels
Read and observe on page 217 first.
New tyres do not offer optimum grip during the first 500 km and appropriate
care should therefore be taken when driving.
Always fit the tyres with the deeper tread depth to the front wheels.
Tyre storage
Identify disassembled tyres so that the previous direction of rotation can be
maintained if the tyres are reassembled.
Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry place that is as dark as possible.
Tyres which are not fixed to a wheel trim should be stored upright.
Tyre age
Tyres age and lose their original characteristics, even if they are not being
used. The service life of the tyres is 6 years. Therefore, we recommend not us-
ing tyres that are older than 6 years.
Wheel bolts
Wheels and wheel bolts are matched to each other in terms of design. We rec-
ommend that you use wheel rims, tyres and wheel bolts from ŠKODA Original
Accessories.
WARNING
Never use tyres if you do not know anything about the condition and age.

The prescribed tyre inflation is on the sticker with pictograms

» Fig. 235
(for
some countries, the pictograms are replaced with a text).
Tyre pressure is always to match the load
.
Inflation pressure for half load
Inflation pressure for environmentally-friendly operation
As a result of pressure level adaption to this value, the fuel consumption
and pollutant emissions may fall slightly.
