Instructions for tyre mounting
›
Comply with the specified direction of travel, oth-
erwise the driving characteristics may be impaired.
The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by
arrows on the wall of the tyre.
›
Always replace tyres by axle.
additional information
Only use approved radial tyres of the same type, size
(rolling circumference) 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 (applies to some countries and
some model variants).
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 fitted later, ask
a ŠKODA partner about the possible retrofitting of
the 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.

Tire wear indicator
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.
WARNING
Risk of accident!
Do not use worn tires.
▶
There are wear indica-
tors in the profile base of
the tires, which indicate
the permissible minimum
profile depth.
Markings on the tire
flanks using the letters
TWI or other symbols,
e.g. , mark the position
of the wear indicators.
