Causes of uneven tyre wear Wheel changes Advice for tyre assembly For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels every 10,000 km according to the sched- ule. › With directional tires, the correct direction of rota- tion must be observed. The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows 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 COC Document). The declaration of conformity can be obtained from a ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and some models). e.g. 185/60 R 15 84 H Overview of tyre labelling Explanation of tyre markings Tyre width in mm Height/width ratio in % Code letter for the type of tyre - Radial Diameter of wheel in inches 185 60 R 15
