Wheels and tyres
The tyres of a vehicle are the components
which are subjected to most stress and are
the most underestimated. Tyres are very im-
portant, as the support offered by their nar-
row surface is the only point of contact be-
tween the vehicle and the road.
The service life of tyres is dependent on tyre
pressure, driving style, the care they receive
and the correct fitting.
The tyres and wheel rims are an essential
part of the vehicle's design. The tyres and
rims approved by SEAT are specially matched
to the characteristics of the vehicle and our
critical to good road holding and safe han-
dling.
Avoiding damage to tyres and wheels
If you have to drive over a kerb or similar
obstacle, drive very slowly and as near as
possible at a right angle to the kerb.
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage
(punctures, cuts, cracks, dents).
Remove any foreign bodies found on the
outside of the tyre tread and ensure that they
have not passed through the wall of the tyre
page 291.
In addition, the instructions for tyre control
systems should always be observed.
Replace damaged or worn tyres as soon as
possible page 291.
Regularly check tyres for non-visible dam-
age page 291.
Never exceed the maximum permitted
speed or loads specified for the type of tyre
fitted on your vehicle ›› page 292.
Do not allow tyres to come into contact with
aggressive substances, grease, oil, fuel or
brake fluid ›› .
Lost valve caps should be replaced imme-
diately.
Changing wheels
To ensure that the wear is equal on all tyres
the wheels should be changed round from
time to time according to the system
Fig. 249. The useful life of all the tyres will
then be about the same time.
SEAT recommends you take the vehicle to a
specialised workshop to have the tyres
changed.
Tyres over 6 years old
Tyres are subject to an ageing process as a
result of physical and chemical processes.
This may affect their performance. Tyres
which are stored for long periods of time
without being used, harden and become
more fragile than tyres which are in constant
use.
SEAT recommends that tyres over six years
old are replaced with new tyres. This also ap-
plies to tyres which appear to be in perfect
condition on the outside and which have a
tread depth within the values stipulated by
the Law .
The date of manufacture, part of the tyre
identification number (TIN), indicates the age
of the tyre page 292.
Storing tyres
Mark tyres when you remove them to indicate
the direction of rotation (left, right, forwards,
backwards). This ensures you will be able to
mount them correctly when you replace
them. When removed, the wheels and/or
tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and pref-
erably dark location. Do not place tyres
mounted on the wheel in a vertical position.
Protect tyres not mounted on wheels from
dirt by storing them in suitable bags and
standing them on the ground on their tread.
WARNING
Aggressive fluids or substances could result
in visible or invisible damage with the conse-
quent risks.
Always ensure that tyres do not come into
contact with chemical products, oil, grease,
fuel, brake fluid or other aggressive substan-
ces.
WARNING
Old tyres, even if they have never been used,
may lose air or burst unexpectedly while »
