Practical tips
●Never use old tyres or those with an un-
known history of use.
New wheels and tyres
It is best to have all wheels and tyres serviced
by a specialised workshop. There they have
the required knowledge, the special tools
and the corresponding spare parts.
●Even winter tyres lose their grip on ice. If
you have installed new tyres, drive the first
500 km carefully and at a moderate speed.
●All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of
the same type, size (rolling circumference)
and, if possible, tread pattern.
●When changing tyres, do not change just
one; change at least two on the same axle.
●If you want to equip your vehicle with a
combination tyres and rims that are different
to those fitted in the factory, inform your
specialised workshop before purchasing
them ›››
The sizes of the rims and tyres approved for
your vehicle are listed in the vehicle docu-
mentation (e.g. EC Certificate of Conformity
or COC document1)). The vehicle documen-
tation varies depending on the country of
residence.
If the type of spare wheel is different form
the normal wheels — e.g. in the case of win-
ter tyres or particularly wide tyres — the
spare wheel should only be used temporarily
in the event of a puncture, and the vehicle
should be driven with care. Refit the normal
road wheel as soon as possible.
In vehicles with four-wheel drive, the 4
wheels must be fitted with tyres of the same
brand, type and tread so that the traction
system is not damaged by a difference in the
number of turns of the wheels. Therefore, in
the event of a puncture, only a spare wheel
with the same perimeter as normal tyres
should be used.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is also indicated on
the tyre sidewall (or on the inside face of the
wheel):
DOT ... 2218 ...
it means, for example, that the tyre was man-
ufactured in the 22nd week of 2018.
WARNING
●Use only combinations of tyres and rims,
as well as suitable wheel nuts, approved by
CUPRA. Otherwise the vehicle may be
damaged, causing an accident.
●For technical reasons it is not possible to
use wheels of other vehicles; in some cases
not even wheels from the same vehicle
model should be used.
●Always ensure that the tyres you have
chosen have adequate clearance. When se-
lecting replacement tyres, do not rely en-
tirely on the nominal tyre size marked on
the tyre, since the nominal tyre size can dif-
fer significantly depending on the manu-
facturer. Lack of clearance can damage the
tyres or the vehicle and, as a result, endan-
ger road safety. Risk of accident!
●Only use tyres that are over 6 years old in
an emergency, and drive with due care.
●The fitting of tyres with run-flat proper-
ties is not permitted on your vehicle! Pro-
hibited use can cause accidents or can
damage your vehicle.
●If decorative hubcaps are subsequently
fitted, make sure that they allow enough air
in to cool the braking system. Risk of acci-
dent!
●Models with aerodynamic wheel rims
and/or with bolt-on plastic elements (more
closed design) increase the likelihood of ice
and snow accumulating on the inside. This
should be taken into account, depending
on the driving situations, as snow or ice ac-
cumulated in the wheels can cause vibra-
tion in the vehicle when it drives at over 40
