Wheel changes
For uniform wear on all
tyres, we recommend
that you change the
wheels every 10,000 km
according to the sched-
ule.
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum permissible load and
speed for the mounted tires.
▶
Tread wear indicators
Wear indicators are loca-
ted in the profile of the
tyres that display the
permissible minimum
tread depth.
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.
›
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.
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).
A tyre is to be regarded as worn out when this wear
indicator is flush with the tread.
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.
The declaration of conformity can be obtained from
a ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and some
models).
WARNING
Risk of accident!
