Only use those tyres or wheel rims which have been approved by ŠKODA for
your model of vehicle.
WARNING
For safety reasons, do no 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 205 first.
During the first 500 km, new tyres do not offer optimum grip and appropriate
care should therefore be taken when driving.
Always fit the tyres with the deeper tread depth to the front wheels.
Tyre storage
Mark them previously used tyres so that you are able to fit them on again to
run in the same direction.
Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry and, where possible, dark place.
Tyres which are not fixed to a wheel trim should be stored upright.
Tyre age
Tyres age losing their original characteristics, even if they are not used. The
service life of the tyres is 6 years. Therefore, we recommend not using tyres
that are more than 6 years old.
Wheel bolts
Wheels and wheel bolts are matched to each other in terms of design. We rec-
ommend that you use wheel rims and wheel bolts from ŠKODA Original Acces-
sories.
WARNING
Never use tyres if you do not know anything about the condition and age.

» Fig. 211
(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.
