Tyre code (example) Meaning
TEMPERATURE A Tyre temperature resistance at higher test
speeds (A, B or C).
If the tyre has other markings, these are specific tyre manufacturer codes
or specific national codes, e.g. for Brazil or China.
a)
The letters TIN refer to the tyre serial number.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
Tyres with directional tread pattern have been designed to operate best
when rotating in only one direction. An arrow on the tyre sidewall indicates
the direction of rotation on tyres with directional tread. Always observe the
direction of rotation indicated when mounting the wheel. This guarantees
optimum grip and helps to avoid aquaplaning, excessive noise and wear.
If the tyre is mounted in the opposite direction of rotation, drive with ex-
treme caution, as the tyre is no longer being used correctly. This is of partic-
ular importance when the road surface is wet. Change the tyre as soon as
possible or remount it with the correct direction of rotation.
Tyre load rating
The load rating code indicates the maximum load in kilograms each wheel
can carry (load capacity).
78 425 kg
81 462 kg
83 487 kg
85 515 kg
87 545 kg
91 615 kg

Z max. 240 km/h (149 mph)
W max. 270 km/h (168 mph)
Y max. 300 km/h (186 mph)
Some manufacturers use the letters "ZR" for tyres with a maximum author-
ised speed above 240 km/h (149 miles).
Snow chains
When using snow chains, applicable local legislation and maximum permit-
ted speed limits must be observed.
In winter weather, snow chains not only help to improve grip but also im-
prove the braking capacity.
The fitting of chains is permitted only on front wheels and only with the fol-
lowing combinations of wheel trims and tyres:

SEAT recommends you ask a Technical Service for further information on
wheel, tyre and chain sizes.
Wherever possible use fine-link chains measuring less than 15 mm includ-
ing the lock.
