Useful information about wheels and tyres
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Handling wheels and tyres
Wheel rims and wheel bolts
Tyre pressure
Tread depth and wear indicators
Tyre damage
Spare wheel or temporary spare wheel
Tyre lettering and tyre type
Maximum load and speed range for tyres
Winter tyres
Snow chains
The tyres are the most heavily loaded and most underestimated parts of a vehicle. Tyres are very
important as the narrow tyre contact surfaces are the only contact between the vehicle and the
road.
The service life of tyres is dependent on tyre pressure, driving style, handling and correct fitting.

WARNING
New tyres or tyres which are old, worn down or damaged cannot provide full vehicle control and
braking efficiency.

the same tread pattern.

the tyre pressure is too low, it is possible that the tyre temperature will increase to such an extent
when driving that the tread peels off and the tyre bursts.

Tyre pressure for the tyres on the front axle.
Tyre pressure for the tyres on the rear axle.
Note: check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold.
Tyre pressure for partial load.
Vehicle-dependent: comfort tyre pressure for partial load.
Tyre pressure for full load.
Tyre pressure level for the spare or temporary spare wheel.
The sticker provides the correct tyre pressure for approved tyres and is located either on the driver
door pillar Fig. 195or inside the tank flap.
The appearance of the sticker may differ between vehicles. It may include additional tyre sizes.
The wrong tyre pressure will have a negative effect on the vehicle handling and leads to high levels
of wear or even a burst tyre at high speeds.
Comfort tyre pressure
Depending on the vehicle, the tyre pressure sticker may show details of a comfort tyre pressure

balanced again.
Incorrect wheel alignment impairs driving safety and increases tyre wear. The running gear should
be checked by a qualified workshop if tyres show excessive wear.

WARNING
If you notice unusual vibration or the car pulling to one side while the vehicle is in motion, this may
indicate that one of the tyres is damaged.

Check the tyres and wheel rims for damage.

Volkswagen recommends that you ask your Volkswagen dealership for information about
appropriate wheel, tyre and snow chain sizes.
If possible, use snow chains with fine-pitch links which do not protrude more than 13.5 mm,
including the tensioner.
Remove centre wheel trims and rim trim rings before fitting snow chains
