Advice on tyre/wheel usage
During the first 500 km,  new tyres do not offer optimum grip; appropriate care
should therefore be taken when driving.
Tyres with the deeper profiles  should always be fitted to the front wheels.
Rims and wheel bolts  are matched to each other in terms of design. We rec-
ommend that you use rims and wheel bolts from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Wheels and tyres  should always be stored in a cool, dry and dark place. The
tyres themselves should be stored vertically.
Tyre life
Tyres age and lose their original characteristics, even if they are not being
used. We recommend that you do not use tyres that are more than 6 years old.
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre sidewall (possibly on the  in-
side ). For example,  DOT ... 10 16...means, for example, that the tyre was manu-
factured in the 10. week of 2016.
Tyre damage
We recommend checking your tyres and wheel rims for damage (punctures,
cuts, splits and bulges etc.) on a regular basis.
Remove any foreign objects in the tyre’s profile immediately (e.g. small stones).
Foreign bodies which  have penetrated into the tyre  (e.g. screws or nails)
should not be removed and help should be sought from a specialist garage.
