As imbalance also increases steering, suspension and tyre wear
the wheels should be balanced again. Furthermore a wheel should
always be rebalanced when the tyre has been repaired or when a
new tyre has been fitted.

Incorrect wheel alignment not only causes excessive, usually
uneven, tyre wear but can also impair the vehicle’s safe handling.
In case of abnormal tyre wear, contact a Technical Service Centre.

At the bottom of the tread of the original tyres there are 1.6 mm
high “wear indicators” running across the tread
⇒fig. 133. There
are 6-8 of these indicators – according to make – evenly spaced
around the tyre circumference. Marks on the walls of the tyre (for
example the letters “TWI” or triangles) show the locations of the
wear indicators.N No

When tread depth is down to 1.6 mm measured in the tread groove next to
the wear indicator bar – the official permissible minimum tread depth has
been reached (in export countries this figure may differ).
K
Renewing wheels/tyres
Wheels and tyres are important design features. The wheels and
tyres approved by us should be used. They are specially matched
to the model concerned and contribute largely to the excellent
roadholding and safe driving characteristics.
To maintain the vehicle’s proper operation, SEAT highly
recommends the use of pneumatics/tyres of the same
characteristics to that originally supplied with.

• Fitting and repairing tyres requires expert knowledge and special
tools. This work may only be carried out by specialist personnel.

Because of the problems in disposing of old tyres and the specialised tools
and knowledge required, tyres should preferably be changed at a Technical
Service Centre.
• For safety reasons the tyres should be renewed in pairs and not
singly. The tyres with the deepest tread should always be on the
front wheels.
