Karoq 1.5 Sportsline 2025 2wheel drive. I have search the manual and the forum but can not find any infomation regarding rotating the tyres front to back. Any advice, cross rotation? or just front to back? Reset tyre pressure monitor? I'm trying to ensure that the tyres wear evenly so that I can eventually change all 4 together for all season tyres.

Some tyres, not all, must rotate in one direction only. If yours are of that kind you can rule out side-to-side rotation. I avoid it even if it is possible, since tyres wear in a bit to one direction of rotation, depending on toe-in and other settings in the geometry. So it's front to back for me, if at all.

My 2026 Sportline is on factory-fit summer tyres. Later this month they will come off and get replaced by four of the best all-season tyres, then the factory-fit tyres will get sold. I've done this often and they do sell eventually.

Look at the sidewalls of the tyres. You need to check if the tyres gave a directional tread usually this is indicated by an arrow moulded on the sidewall of the tyre, the arrow points in the direction of rotation so these tyres can only be swapped between front and back on the same side. Some tyres will have the word Outside on the sidewall to make sure it’s fitted correctly on the rim, the other sidewall will have Inside moulded on it and it shouldn’t be visible when the wheel is on the car. I swap fronts to back every 10k miles to balance out the wear, fronts generally wearing fastest.

It is in the manual, just tucked away in the Wheels chapter rather than under anything called rotation. Skoda say "for uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels every 10,000 km according to the schedule", and also to follow the running direction arrows on the sidewall. So on directional tyres it's front to back on the same side, as above.

The bit that catches people out is the tyre pressure monitor. On most Karoqs it isn't sensors in the valves, it works off the ABS wheel speed sensors and compares how fast each wheel turns. The manual says to save the pressures whenever you change the pressure, change a wheel, or change the position of a wheel on the car, so a rotation counts.

What I'd do:

Swap them over, then set the pressures to the sticker inside the fuel filler flap. Front and rear figures are often different, so don't just leave the pressures that were in each tyre before the swap. Use the half load or full load figures depending on how you normally run.

Do it with the tyres cold, then with the ignition on go into the vehicle settings, tyres, and store or save the pressures. If you skip this it can throw a warning a few days later as it learns the new rolling sizes.

The manual I checked is an earlier edition than a 2025 car so the menu names might be slightly different, but the steps are the same.
