Wheels

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 spe-

cialised 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 res-

idence.

If the type of spare wheel is different form the

normal wheels — e.g. in the case of winter

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

SEAT. Otherwise the vehicle may be dam-

aged, 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

selecting replacement tyres, do not rely

entirely 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, en-

danger 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!

For the sake of the environment

Old tyres must be disposed of according to

the laws in the country concerned.

Note

●A SEAT Service Centre should be consul-

ted to find out whether wheels or tyres of

different sizes to those originally fitted by

SEAT can be fitted, and to find out about »
