Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry and,

where possible, dark place. Tyres without rims

should be stored in an upright position.

For uniform wear on all

tyres, we recommend

that you change the

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.

WARNING

Do not exceed the maximum permissible load and

speed for the mounted tires.

▶

Always replace the tyres by the axle.

›

Tread wear indicators

Additional information

Only ﬁt radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling cir-

cumference) and the same tread pattern on one axle.

Wear indicators are loca-

ted in the proﬁle of the

tyres that display the

permissible minimum

tread depth.

Approved tyre sizes are speciﬁed in the technical ve-

hicle documentation and in the declaration of con-

formity (in the so-called COC Document).

Markings on the walls of

the tyres with the letters

TWI or other symbols

(e.g. ) indicate the po-

sition of the wear indica-

tors.

The declaration of conformity can be obtained from

a ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and some

models).

Wheels 8.5Jx20 ET38 with 255/40 R 20 tyres

A vehicle equipped with these wheels and tyres at

the factory also has appropriate widening elements

for the use of these wheels and tyres.

A tyre is to be regarded as worn out when this wear

indicator is ﬂush with the tread.

If you would like to have these wheels and tyres ret-

roﬁtted, ﬁnd out at a ŠKODA Partner about the pos-

sible retroﬁtting of your vehicle with the widening

elements for the use of these wheels and tyres.

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.

Usage conditions

WARNING

Risk of accident!

Do not use worn tires.

If all-season or winter tyres are installed that have a

lower speed category than the actual speciﬁed maxi-

mum vehicle speed, then proceed as follows:

▶

Tyre manufacturing date

The date of manufacture is indicated on the tyre

sidewall.

In Infotainment, set the speed limit according to

the category of tyres ﬁtted.

›

For example, DOT ... 10 20 means that the tyres

were produced in the 10th week of the year 2020.

In the driver's ﬁeld of view, aﬃx a warning label

›

with the maximum value of the speed category in-

tended for the tyres ﬁtted (applies only to certain

countries).

WARNING

Risk of an accident!

Do not use tyres that are older than 6 years.

What you should be mindful of

Rim size

Tyre size

For the best possible handling, use tyres on all four

wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.

6.5Jx17 ET38

215/65 R17

Change winter tyres to summer tyres at the appro-

priate time. Summer tyres have better driving and

braking characteristics on snow- and ice-free roads

and at temperatures above 7 °C.

Only ﬁt snow chains with links and locks that are no

larger than 13 mm.

SEAL tyres

Usage

The SEAL tyres have increased resistance to air leak-

age when punctured.

Jacking points for the jack

In vehicles with a tyre indicator, save the tyre pres-

sure values in the system.

›

Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts of

the mounted tyres checked with a torque wrench

as soon as possible.

›

The speciﬁed tightening torque is 140 Nm.

After using the kit

If a tyre pressure of 2.0 bar cannot be achieved, the

tyre is too damaged and cannot be sealed with the

puncture set.

Breakdown kit

Content overview

Stop driving. Seek the help of a specialist garage.

›

The kit is located in a box under the ﬂoor covering in

the luggage compartment.

Once a tyre pressure of 2.0–2.5 bar is achieved, con-

tinue the journey at a maximum speed of 80 km/h

(50 mph).

Avoid full accelerations, strong braking and fast

cornering.

›

Information for driving with repaired tyres

The pressure of the repaired tyre must be checked

after driving for 10 minutes.

›

If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar and less, do not con-

tinue! Seek the help of a specialist garage.

›

If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar, correct

the pressure to the correct value of at least 2 bar

and continue driving.
