▶
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.
▶
Causes of uneven tyre wear
Improper tyre pressure.
▶
Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration
▶
and deceleration).
Wheel alignment error.
▶
Incorrect wheel balancing.
▶
Wheel changes
Advice for tyre assembly
›
Follow the specified running direction, otherwise
the driving characteristics may be impaired. The di-
rection of rotation of the tyres is marked by ar-
rows 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 COCDocument).
The declaration of conformity can be obtained from
a ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and some
models).
Tyres 245/40 R 19 94 W
A vehicle equipped with these tyres at the factory al-
so has corresponding widening elements for the use
of these tyres.
If you would like to have these tyres retrofitted, find
out at a ŠKODA Partner about the possible retrofit-
ting of your vehicle with the widening elements for
the use of these tyres.
For uniform wear on all
tyres, we recommend
that you change the
wheels every 10,000 km
according to the sched-
ule.

Tread wear indicators
A tyre is to be regarded as worn out when this wear
indicator is flush with the tread.
The tread depth can be measured using a tread
depth gauge on the ice scraper. The ice scraper is lo-
cated on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
Wear indicators are loca-
ted in the profile of the
tyres that display the
permissible minimum
tread depth.
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.
