| Tyres are high-tech products which have been adapted perfectly to the conditions of use on modern vehicles based on new production processes and continuous quality control. |
| All tyres used on SEAT vehicles are checked by our technical development department and matched to the specific vehicle model. When changing tyres we recommend using only brands approved by SEAT. |
| For maximum traffic safety it is necessary to ensure tyres have balanced characteristics. For this purpose various conditions of use such as speed ranges and maximum speed are matched to the usual ambient conditions and road conditions. |
| Tyre care is of great importance for guaranteeing traffic safety, driving comfort and performance as well as minimising numerous types of stress to which the tyres are objected during their service life. |
Note | The causes for complaints and irregularities on tyres can vary highly. For this purpose it is necessary to determine primarily whether the causes for the specific complaint are the tyres themselves or other vehicle components in the specific vehicle. |
| It is necessary to take into consideration that the driving characteristics of the tyres change as a result of normal tyre wear. This wear can result in wheel noise or imbalance when driving which cannot be eliminated in certain cases. |
