Manufacturer-Approved Tyre Variants - Skoda Yeti Owner's Manual

Replacement of wheels
For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels ev-
ery 10 000 km according to the scheme
proximately the same life for all the tyres.
After a wheel has been replaced, the tyre pressure has to be adjusted.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure valuesare to be stor-
ed » page 158.
WARNING
You must have your tyres replaced with new ones at the latest when the
■
wear indicators have been worn down.
Worn tyres impair necessary adhesion to the road surface, particularly at
■
high speeds on wet roads. This could lead to "aquaplaning" (uncontrolled
vehicle movement – "swimming" on a wet road surface).
Tyre damage

Read and observe on page 191 first.
We recommend checking your tyres and wheel rims for damage (punctures,
cuts, splits and bulges, etc.) on a regular basis. Remove foreign bodies (e.g.
small stones) from the tyre tread immediately.
Drive over kerbs and other such obstacles slowly and perpendicularly wher-
ever possible in order to avoid damage to tyres and wheel trims.
Immediately replace damaged wheel rims or tyres.
WARNING
Never drive with damaged tyres – risk of accident.
CAUTION
The tyres must be protected from contact with substances such as oil, grease
and fuel, which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with these
substances, then we recommend you have this checked out in a specialist
workshop.

Unidirectional tyres

Read and observe on page 191 first.
The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the
tyre.
The indicated direction of rotation must be adhered to in order to ensure the
optimal characteristics of these tyres.
These characteristics mainly relate to the following:
›
Increased driving stability.
›
Reduced risk of aquaplaning.
›
Reduced tyre noise and tyre wear.
