## Wheels 

## Tyres and rims 

## What you should be mindful of 

## NOTICE 

▶ 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

## 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 specified 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). 

## Overview of tyre labelling 

## Explanation of tyre markings 

e.g. 185/60 R 15 84 H 

Tyre width in mm Height/width ratio in % Code letter for the type of tyre - Radial Diameter of wheel in inches 185 60 R 15 

For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels every 10,000 km according to the sched- ule.
