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

Tire wear indicator
There are wear indica-
tors in the profile base of
the tires, which indicate
the permissible minimum
profile depth.
Instructions for tyre mounting
Comply with the specified direction of travel, oth-
erwise the driving characteristics may be impaired.
The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by
arrows on the wall of the tyre.

Markings on the tire
flanks using the letters
TWI or other symbols,
e.g. , mark the position
of the wear indicators.
Always replace tyres by axle.
›
additional information
A tyre is to be regarded as worn out when this wear
indicator is flush with the tread.
Only use approved radial tyres of the same type, size
(rolling circumference) and the same tread pattern
on one axle.
The tread depth can be measured with a tread
depth gauge on the ice scraper. The ice scraper is lo-
cated on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
Approved tyre sizes are specified in the technical ve-
hicle documentation and in the declaration of con-
formity (in the so-called COCDocument).
WARNING
Risk of accident!
Do not use worn tires.
The declaration of conformity can be obtained from
a ŠKODA partner (applies to some countries and
some model variants).

Tire manufacturing date
The date of manufacture is indicated on the tyre
sidewall.
