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).
