General notes on wheels and tyres


(passenger cars)

This information is intended to help you form an opinion as un


equivocally and accurately as possible in the event of tyre dam
age and related complaints.
In this chapter, you will learn a great deal about tyres and also
about wheels and rims.
Tyres are hi-tech products that are optimally adapted to the op
erating conditions of modern vehicles.
As with all highly developed technical products, tyres require
proper care, maintenance and service. This is essential to ensure
safety, performance and comfort for the entire service life of the
tyre.
Tyres are constantly being further developed. Quality tyres are
the result of modern design methods and production processes,
as well as continuous quality checks. All tyres that are recom
mended by VW have been tested by the technical development
department and have been designed specifically for each model
in collaboration with the tyre manufacturers.
We therefore recommend fitting onlyAthe

Every tyre is subjected to a wide range of different driving condi


tions over its entire service life. It is therefore important that the
basic requirements for ensuring optimal tyre performance are
met.
Proper adjustment of the axle geometry during wheel alignment
is an important prerequisite for ensuring the optimum service life
of the tyre. Therefore, wheel alignment must always be within the
specified tolerance range.

Tyre damage and related problems can have various causes. It


is therefore very important to ascertain whether the problem has
been caused by the tyre or other components.

Normal wear and tear on a tyre will alter its characteristics. Tyre
noise and vibration could then be the result. These are indications
of wear and do not constitute damage in the sense of a tyre defect.
Measures can be taken to at least partly eliminate the symptoms.
However, in some cases it may not be possible to eliminate tyre
noise completely.

The manufacturer is issued with a general operating permit (GTA


in accordance with 20 StVZO (German road traffic and licensing
regulations) and EU operating permit) for the overall vehicle with
all parts for specific conversions.
Conversions of wheels and tyres can only be carried out under
certain conditions. When doing this, the following points must be
observed:

If the size of wheel and tyre, with an indication of the load index
and the speed symbol, is included in the vehicle GTA and EU
operating permit/type approval page 7 , this wheel and
tyre combination can be fitted on the vehicle without any prob
lem.

r
fo
ng

It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination specified


in the registration certificate part I (certificate of registration) to be
fitted. All combinations approved in the vehicle GTA or EU oper
ating permit/type approval page 7 may be fitted to the
vehicle.
For the conversions recommended by VOLKSWAGEN AG
(see attachment for parts certificate) there are no general op
erating permits in accordance with 22 StVZO (German road
traffic and licensing regulations).

Unless the wheels and/or tyres are included in the relevant


vehicle GTA or EU operating permit/type approval, the vehicle
will no longer meet the requirements of the road traffic regu
lations if converted.
These versions are based on the conditions valid in the European
Union and no guarantee can be provided for their completeness.
In some cases there are different legislative requirements outside
the European Union.
The table included in the attached parts certificate shows the
VOLKSWAGEN AG recommended and TV NORD Mobilitt
GmbH & Co. KG tested wheel and tyre combinations on VW ve
hicles and also the conditions to be observed for fitting. The use
of genuine disc-type wheels on a vehicle to which they have not
been allocated is not permissible.
The list of possible conversions deals with combinations that meet
the requirements of VOLKSWAGEN AG with regards to road
handling and road safety. They are the result of practical trials and
are therefore recommended by VOLKSWAGEN AG.
Refer also to the new vehicle registration documents that were
issued from 01.10.2005 page 6 .

2.2

Technical conditions for converting


wheel and tyre combinations

The wheel and tyre combinations and conversions listed in the


tables of the individual vehicles refer exclusively to Volkswa
gen genuine disc-type wheels.

Bora 1999 , Bora Variant 1999 , Golf 1992 , Golf 1998 , Golf ...
Wheels and Tyres Guide - Archive - Edition 06.2010

Approval of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to


wheels from the accessories trade is not possible with the
parts certificate attached here.

Tubeless radial tyres may only be fitted to rims with a safety


hump feature on the shoulder.

Tyres with run-flat properties (reinforced side walls) may only


be used on disc-type wheels with an extended hump and on
vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system
page 55 .

If the wheel and tyre combinations listed are used, the asso
ciated tyre inflation pressures must be adhered to. The tyre
inflation pressures for summer tyres can be found on the stick
er on the inside of the tank flap or in the tables of the individual
vehicles.

Sufficient clearance to the wheels and tyres at parts of the


wheel housing, suspension and braking system is assured if
the notes and specifications established in the parts certificate
are observed in all operating conditions.

Unless otherwise stated, snow chains may only be fitted to the


drive wheels. On all-wheel drive vehicles, however, only the
front wheels may be fitted with snow chains with the exception
of the Touareg (rear wheels may also be fitted with snow
chains).

Tyres of the 80 series (e.g. 145/80 R 13 74 S) will replace the


82 series (e.g. 145/82 R 13 74 S). Lawmakers have stipulated
that 82 series tyres may be replaced by 80 series tyres without
having been entered in the vehicle documents.
The condition for this is that the 80 series tyres have the same
width, be of the same type cross-ply or radial belted and have
the same or higher load index.

New vehicle registration documents


since 01.10.2005

The implementation of EU Directive 1999/37/EU "Registration


Documents for Vehicles" in national law and legal data protection
requirements have necessitated the introduction of new, falsifi
cation-proof registration documents.
Since 01.10.2005, only the new documents are issued by the
registration authorities in the event of new registrations, change
of ownership, registration of technical modifications and all other
matters.
The new registration documents are comprised of:
Registration certificate part I, which replaces the certificate of
registration and
Registration certificate part II, which replaces the vehicle log
book.

COC document (EEC Certificate of Con

Manufactures of motorized vehicles must apply for an EU oper


ating permit for all class M1 passenger carrying vehicles.
A certificate is produced on the basis of this operating permit - the
COC (Certificate of Conformity).
This document certifies that the vehicle complies with the EU op
erating permit (EU type approval) and can be registered in every
EU country without an individual type approval.
The document will be issued for all vehicles that comply with the
EU operating permit.
These vehicles have an EU type plate (black sticker) in the area
of the driver's door, or in the case of older vehicles, in the engine
compartment.

Official type designations

Passenger cars licensed for road use in Germany need a general


type approval for the issue of a vehicle title document.
The type approval is issued by the Federal Ministry for Transport
in Flensburg following type inspection. This procedure was per
mitted until 31.12.1997 and, in exceptional cases, even after that.
Other member states of the European Union (EU) have different
procedures for issuing a document similar to the German title
document. Until 31.12.1997, each member state was entitled to
issue its own national type approvals according to its own proce
dures.
Since 1.1.1998, all passenger cars licensed within the European
Union must have a type approval corresponding to EU guidelines
page 7 . Vehicles licensed for road use with single-vehicle ap
proval according to 21 StVZO in Germany are excepted.
This means the same guidelines apply to all vehicle manufactur
ers. This makes it easier to trade across national borders within
the EU.
Official type approval, sales or trade designation
In the following table, all VW vehicles which already have EU type
approval are listed in the column "EU type".
All VW vehicles which were granted type approval according to
the procedure valid up to 31.12.97 are listed in the column "Gen
eral type"
If entries appear in both columns "General type" and "EU type",
there are vehicles of this model which are approved by both
StVZO and EU guidelines. In this case, the first step is to deter
mine exactly what type of vehicle you have. There are two pos
sibilities:
1. possibility
The last page of the vehicle title includes the field Certified holder
of a general type approval/EEC type approval. Either the general

here, assuming it is the original vehicle title document. This is the
case only if the vehicle was not deregistered in the past for longer
than 12 months.

Undulations

Undulations are slight wavy irregularities in the tyre sidewall.


They run from the bead towards the shoulder of the tyre. These
parts appear in the figure page 41 .
The cause is the accumulation of material at the joints of the tyre
components.
Undulations have no effect on:
Safety,
Service life,
Handling or
Other characteristics of the tyre.
Undulations are visible to varying extents. It is not necessary to
inspect the tyre or remove it from the rim.

For the letter v, enter the maximum speed given in field T of

What causes undulations?
Modern steel belted tyres are constructed with single-ply side
walls to save weight.
The sidewall components consist of long strips before they are
joined together to form a tyre. They must overlap at the joints.
Consequently, slight irregularities or waves are created in the

Of course, tyre damage occurs only if the tyre is in contact with

As a result, dangerous situations can occur when the car is


driven.

Complete wheels
Tyres mounted on wheels can be stored flat, stacked one upon
the other. In this case, it is important to ensure that the tyres are
clean and dry. The inflation pressure should be increased to a
maximum of 3 bar.
Tyres without wheels
Tyres without wheels are best stored standing vertically. If tyres
lies stacked for longer periods of time, they will be pressed to
gether with a substantial force. The tyres will then be more difficult
to fit, as they do not sit on the bead seats. If tyres are stored
standing vertically, it is recommended to turn them every 14 days
to avoid flat spots.

4.6

Tyre ageing

Tyres age as a result of physical and chemical processes, which


can impair the function of the tyres. Tyres which are stored for
longer periods of time harden and become brittle faster than tyres
which are constantly in use on a vehicle. Older tyres may develop
hairline cracks as a result of ageing. When tyres are in regular
use, the constant flexing activates softeners in the rubber, pre
venting hardening and the development of cracks.
It is therefore important to take into account not only the tread
depth, but also the age of spare tyres, stored tyres and tyres which
are not permanently in use. The tyre age can be determined from

Recommendation
It is recommended not to use summer and winter tyres which
are older than 6 years anymore. The original properties dete
riorate due to the aging process. Winter tyres especially lose
their adhesion properties.
When new tyres are fitted, the spare tyre may also be used if
it is in flawless condition and is not more than 6 years old. The
age of the tyre has a great influence on the high-speed capa
bility of the tyre. It is possible to combine a spare tyre which is

On most four-wheel drive vehicles, snow chains may be used only
on the front wheels, but on the Touareg, also the rear wheels.
It is not possible to use snow chains with all wheel and tyre com
binations. Notes on this can be found in the vehicle tables of the
parts certificate.
If no particular type of snow chain is specified, then small-link
chains may be used. These, including the chain fastener, may not
protrude more than 15 mm beyond the wheel's tread and the inner
wall.
On some models, only special, small-link chains are possible with
certain wheel and tyre combinations. Notes on this can be found
in the vehicle tables of the parts certificate.

Tyre wear/ mileage for passenger car


tyres

5.1

General

A tyre has to meet numerous requirements page 19 .


Different types of tyres meet these requirements to varying de
grees.
Depending on the conditions in which the tyres are used and on
the type of vehicle, some requirements will be more important
than others.
H, V, and Z tyres for high-performance vehicles are expected to
have good grip on wet and flooded roads. On the other hand, they
cannot have such a long mileage expectancy as, for example,
tyres with S or T ratings.

5.2

Requirements to be met by tyres

A - Wet braking properties


B - Driving comfort
C - Steering accuracy
D - Driving stability
E - Tyre weight
F - Life expectancy

Example:

An improvement in wet braking properties -A- leads to a reduction


in driving comfort -B-, rolling resistance -G- and life expectancy
-F-.
The life expectancy of passenger vehicle tyres does not just de
pend on the rubber composition and design of a tyre. The condi
tions for use, the vehicle-specific circumstances and driving style
have a heavy influence on the service life of a tyre.
Modern vehicles with the appropriate engine allow a gentle, eco
nomical driving style but also an extremely sporty driving style. A
tyre life of 5,000 to 40,000 km or more is possible.

Tyre maintenance

The vehicle's weight causes the tyre's contact patch to flatten.


This causes the tread and the entire bracing plies of the tyre con
tinually to be deformed when a tyre is rolling. Low tyre pressure
causes greater deformation, resulting in greater warming and in
creased rolling resistance. This then leads to increased wear and
poses a greater safety risk.

Diagrams 1 and 2 show that the tread on a new tyre wears faster
than that on a heavily used tyre. Because the wear curve is not
linear, it is not possible to estimate the tyre's expected life on the
basis of wear after a distance of 5,000 km.
On front-wheel drive vehicles, the front tyres have to transmit not
only the steering and driving forces, but also the greater part of
the lateral and braking forces. This causes the front tyres on frontwheel drive vehicles to wear much faster than the rear tyres. Even
tyre wear can be achieved by rotating (interchanging) the front
and rear tyres on a regular basis. Rotating wheels page 66 .

Increased one-sided wear
One-sided wear, usually in conjunction with signs of scuffing on
the ribs of the tread and in the fine grooves, always occurs when
the tyres have been allowed to roll with an extreme tyre slip angle,
causing them to rub on the road surface.
Driving fast on a stretch of road with lots of curves will cause in
creased wear, in particular on the outer shoulder.
A rounded outer shoulder on the tyre in conjunction with a partic
ularly high degree of wear on the outer tread blocks indicates fast
cornering. This wear pattern is influenced by driving style.
To optimise handling, the suspension is set to certain toe and
camber values. Increased one-sided wear can be expected if
tyres are allowed to roll under conditions which differ from those
specified.
One-sided wear is especially likely if the toe and camber have not
been set correctly. Moreover, there is a greater risk of diagonal
washout.

Some tread patterns may create an impression of premature

Wear in middle of tyre

This wear pattern is found on the driven wheels of high-perform

At high speeds, centrifugal forces cause the tyre diameter to in

Effects of this kind can be especially pronounced on wide tyres.
It is not possible to counter this wear pattern by reducing the tyre
pressure.
WARNING

For reasons of safety, the tyre pressure must not under any
circumstances be reduced below the specified tyre pressure.
A more or less even tread wear pattern can be achieved by ro
tating the tyres between the driven wheels and non-driven wheels
in good time.
Increased tread wear

It usually occurs at one point only, but can also occur at several
points around the circumference of the tyre.
Washout occurs almost exclusively on the tyres on the non-driven
wheels, in particular at the rear left. Washout occurs very often
on some models, while it poses no problem at all on other models.
The effect is intensified by high toe-in values. Toe-in values in the
region of the lower tolerance limits of the specified alignment val
ues improve the wear pattern.
The most pronounced diagonal washout is often found in the area
where the tyre components are joined.
Wheels with positive toe-in roll with a slip angle even straight
ahead. This leads to a diagonal strain in the contact patch or foot
print on the tyre/road surface.

Tyres with diagonal washout caused by incorrect wheel alignment


are not covered by warranty.

If a customer complains of diagonal wear spots, the toe adjust

Tyre noise

6.1

General notes on tyre noise

Tyre noise that can be heard by the human ear is caused by vi


brations which are transmitted by the air from the source of the
sound to our ears.
Of interest here are the noises caused by certain characteristics
and effects of the rolling tyre (source of the sound).
The cause of the noise is largely dependent on the combination
of the road surface and tyres.
The structure and material of the road surface will greatly affect
tyre noise. For example, the noise level on a wet road is much
higher than on a dry road.
The pattern of the tyre tread also has a significant influence on
tyre noise. Tyres with transverse grooves at an angle of 90 gen
erate more noise than tyres with grooves running diagonally.
Small tread blocks are unstable. Their highly pronounced defor
mation agitates the air as the tyres roll. This creates vibrations in
the air which cause tyre noise.
Wider tyres are louder. They need more tread channels to dis
place water. When the tyres roll, these tread channels displace
the air, also creating vibrations in the air.
Further effects that also influence tyre noise:
Tyre vibration is the principal cause of tyre noise. It is caused
by the columns of air in the tread channels being agitated.
Air pumping is the compression and expansion of the air
caused by the deformation of the tread blocks as the tyre con

his

The widths of the tyre and the rim, among other things, influence
tyre noise. Due to their larger contact area, wider tyres will cause
more tyre noise than narrow tyres, as more air has to be displaced
and more mass is agitated to create vibrations.
A wider wheel rim will also cause a tyre to have a wider contact
patch. The effect on tyre noise is thus very similar to that of a wider
tyre. Moreover, the damping characteristics of the tyre may also
be adversely affected by the wider wheel rim.
Tyre noise of a vehicle with front-wheel drive is more perceptible
in the rear because wind and the engine noise are not as loud
there.

Saw-tooth wear

do
c
um
en

Saw-tooth wear is a stepped wear pattern on the individual tread


blocks page 30 that can cause increased tyre noise. The saw
tooth is caused by uneven deformation of the tread blocks in the
tyre's contact patch. Saw-tooth wear is more pronounced on nondriven wheels than on driven wheels.

New tyres are more susceptible to saw-tooth wear because of the
greater elasticity of the high tread blocks. As the tread depth de
creases, the tread blocks become more rigid and the tendency to
wear in a saw-tooth pattern decreases.

In the event of saw-tooth wear, the direction of rotation of the tyre


must be reversed. If saw-tooth wear is especially pronounced and
tyre noise has increased, interchange the tyres diagonally. This
will reduce the saw-tooth effect.
On front-wheel-drive vehicles, this effect is intensified by the
greater wear on the front axle.

Flat spots (from locking wheels)

Flat spots result from hard braking which causes the wheels to
lock so that the rubber is worn off at the contact patch between
the tread and the road surface.
As the tyres slide over the road surface, friction generates heat,
which reduces the tread material's resistance to wear.
Not even the most wear-resistant tread compound can prevent
the flat spots caused by extreme braking.
Even ABS-controlled brake systems cannot prevent brief locking
of the wheels, and thus, minor flat spots.
The degree of such wear depends largely on the vehicle speed,
the road surface and the load placed on the wheel. The following
examples should make this clear.

Minor imbalances will not be felt at the steering wheel, but that
does not mean that they are not there. They increase wear on the
tyre, thus reducing the tyre's service life.

throughout a tyre's service life, we recommend having the wheels


and tyres balanced at least twice during the tyre's service life.

7.2

Balancing wheels

Before you start balancing the wheels, the following requirements


must be met.

The tyre must not show any signs of damage, for example
cuts, piercing, foreign bodies, etc.

The wheel suspension, steering and steering linkage, includ

Note

If one-sided wear, flat spots from braking or severely washed out


spots are apparent, balancing cannot achieve smooth running. In
this case, the tyre must be renewed.
Check the true running of the wheel and tyre. If the wheel and
tyre do not run true although there are no flat spots, radial or
lateral runout may be the cause.
Check the wheel for radial or lateral runout page 36 .

More than 60 grams of weight per tyre should not be used.

Vibration control system -VAS 6230-

Using the vibration control system -VAS 6230- you can perform
more functions than just stationary balancing.
A special feature of this system is the testing of the radial force of
the wheel and tyre while rolling.
A roller presses against the wheel with a force of about 635 kg.
This simulates the vertical tyre force against the road surface
during travel.

Radial and lateral runout in the wheel and tyre and differences in
the stiffness of the tyre cause the vertical force of the wheel to
vary.

Finish balancer
Note

Before working with a finish balancer , the mechanic needs to

have been instructed by the manufacturer of the balancer.

To balance the wheels, set the wheels of the driven axle on

the sensor platforms (only the front wheels of a front-wheel


drive vehicle, all four wheels of a four-wheel drive vehicle).

If you determine a residual imbalance greater than 20 grams


when balancing the wheels, you should rotate the mounting po
sition of the wheel on the hub.
Mark the point at which the imbalance is indicated.
Unbolt the wheel and rotate its position on the hub so that the
marking points downwards.
Note

The hub must not rotate during this procedure.


First hand-tighten the lowest wheel bolt to about 30 Nm.
Then tighten the remaining wheel bolts diagonally to about
30 Nm. This process ensures that the wheel is centred prop
erly on the hub.
Check whether the imbalance is less than 20 grams using the
finish balancer.

Note

The imbalance should always be less than 20 grams before you


change the balance weight.
If necessary, remove the wheel bolts again.
Rotate the wheel relative to the hub once more, turning it one
or two wheel bolt holes further.
Tighten the wheel bolts using the method described above.
Note

Do not try to reduce the imbalance using balance weights until


the imbalance is less than 20 grams.
Balance the wheels until the imbalance is less than 5 grams.

Radial and lateral runout occur when the wheel and tyre do not
run absolutely true.
For technical reasons, 100% true running is not possible.
Therefore, the manufacturers of these components allow a pre
cisely determined tolerance.
Mounting the tyre in an unfavourable position on the wheel can
cause the maximum allowed tolerance for wheel with tyre to be
exceeded.

If the measured values for radial and lateral runout of the wheel
are within the specifications, the tyre has an impermissibly high
radial or lateral runout. In this case, the tyre must be renewed.
Note

After the tyres have been fitted, there will be fitting paste be

tween the tyres and the rim flanges.

Therefore, severe braking and acceleration manoeuvres must

be avoided for the first 100 or 200 km driven. The tyres may
otherwise rotate on the rims and your work will have been in

Flat spots caused by storage or handling cannot be balanced and


they can reoccur at any time due to various circumstances. Flat
spots caused by storage or handling can be eliminated without
complicated special tools. This does not apply to flat spots caused
by hard braking page 30 .
Note

Flat spots caused by hard braking cannot be repaired. Such tyres


must be renewed.
Reasons for flat spots caused by storage or handling:
The vehicle has been left standing in one place without being
moved for several weeks.
The tyre inflation pressure is too low.
The vehicle was placed in a paint shop drying booth after being
painted.
The vehicle was parked with warm tyres in a cool garage or
similar for a long period of time. In this case, a flat spot from
standing may even occur overnight.
Eliminating flat spots caused by storage or handling
Flat spots caused by storage or handling cannot be eliminated
from the tyre using workshop equipment.
Flat spots caused by storage or handling can be removed only
by running the tyres warm.
The method described below is not recommended in cold and
wintry weather.

Vehicle pulls to one side

8.1

General

Perform a road test to determine whether a vehicle is pulling to


one side and if so, which side. If the vehicle pulls to one side
page 42 .
When wheel alignment is checked, include the wheel alignment
test results in tyre complaint report.
Manufacturer's tolerances can lead to a slight amount of taper
(asymmetry) in the tyre carcass. The rolling tyre then develops a
lateral force which acts directly on the wheel suspension, leading
to self-steering of the vehicle. Strategic rotation of the wheels can
compensate for this self-steering behaviour.

8.2

Conicity

Conicity is caused by a slight offset of the tread and/or the belt


(amounting to a few tenths of a millimetre) relative to the geo
metric centre of the tyre. Conicity is not visible and cannot be
measured with equipment available in the workshop.

If the force Fk on one wheel of the axle is, for example, 50 Newton,
and also 50 Newton on the other wheel, and both forces are ex
erted in the same direction, the forces are cumulated. Reversing
a tyre on the rim can compensate for the lateral pull because the
forces then act in opposite directions.
Because the direction in which the force of taper is exerted is not
visible, only road tests and strategic rotation of wheels and tyres
can establish which tyres cause the pulling.
The tyre consists of numerous components and materials which
are vulcanised to form a single part at the end of a complicated
manufacturing process. The result is differing production toleran
ces which make themselves noticeable through more or less
strong lateral forces (conicity forces). These forces can also occur
in new tyres.
Pulling to one side on front axle

Prote
cted
by

Pulling to one side during fast acceleration is, in part, due to the
basic design of vehicles with front wheel drive. Different friction
levels at the left and right wheels or possible irregularities in the
road surface (potholes) and consequently varying road adhesion
have a substantial influence on the handling characteristics. This
does not constitute a complaint which is covered by the warranty.

8.3

Remedies when vehicle pulls to one


side

Test conditions before and during the road test:


Check all suspension components on the front and rear axles
for damage.
Check tyre pressure and correct if necessary.
Check the tyres for external damage. Punctures, cuts, bubbles
on the sidewalls, flat spots from braking and/or damage to the
tread.
Ask the customer if the tyre had been damaged by a nail or
similar object and was repaired by a tyre dealer. It may be
necessary to renew such tyres.

Check tyres for even wear and tread depth.
Are all tyres of the same type, manufacture and tread pattern?
If the tyres are non-directional, ensure that all DOT classifica

the vehicle may have already been changed around at an ear
lier date.
Is the make of tyre approved by the factory as original equip

Perform the road test on a road which is level, straight and

Perform the road test with the customer under the conditions

For this purpose, it is important that the road tests are always

Replacing a tyre with a new tyre does not guarantee that pull

as a first step to carry out the strategic rotation of the wheels
as described below.

If there are large differences in the tread depth of the tyres on

the front and rear axles, the tyres with the deeper tread should

General information

As tyre damage can have serious consequences, you and the


driver should regularly check the tyres to identify any problems at
an early stage.
Damaged tyres cannot withstand driving conditions such as high
speed, long distances, sporty driving, and so on.
Damage can be caused in a number of ways:
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
Assembly error when tyres were fitted on rims
Damage by embedding objects
Improper storage

Damage caused by foreign bodies

Driving over hard, pointed objects like nails, screws and the like
can pierce the tyre.
This always leads to tyre damage.
Damage due to embedded foreign body
Often, the object -marking- is so securely embedded in the tyre
that it will not free itself even at higher speeds. Consequently, it
can act as a plug and seal the tyre relatively well. This results in
a gradual loss of pressure, which the driver will not notice imme
diately, but which can lead to sudden and complete tyre failure.

Note

No repair should be attempted on a steel belted tyre of which the


structure has been punctured by a foreign body.
Corrosion can develop on the steel wires. This will always lead to
the separation of the rubber from the steel belt.
Generally, one cannot determine when the foreign body was em
bedded. The tyre structure may already have been damaged as
a result of driving with insufficient tyre pressure.

to be carried. A sporty driving style also requires correct or even
slightly increased tyre pressure.
Slow loss of tyre pressure
The slow loss of tyre pressure is especially problematic because
even experienced drivers often do not notice it.
Insufficient tyre pressure and the related increase in flexing (in
ternal friction) cause the tyre material to heat up considerably and
may lead to the separation of the various components and rubber
compounds.
In the end, the tyre is usually destroyed completely
page 50 .
The cause for the slow pressure loss cannot always be deter
mined because the tyre is severely damaged and components of
the tyre are missing.

When the tyre rolls, strong shear forces develop between the lay

Tyres with wide, circumferential furrows near the bead


Wide, circumferential furrows near the bead -arrows- indicate that
the tyre was driven with insufficient pressure.
Driving a vehicle with insufficient tyre pressure or ignoring or not
recognising tyre damage can have serious consequences.

The defects mentioned above severely restrict the function of the


tyre. The rubber compounds separate, which results in the partial
separation of tyre components or even its complete destruction.

10.1

General

Tyres with run-flat properties have reinforced side walls when


comparing them with normal tyres. This reduces the slippage of
the side walls and prevents the tyre flanks sticking when the tyres
are run deflated. This ensures the vehicle remains controllable
and the vehicle has almost normal driving characteristics. The al
leviates the necessity to fit the spare wheel in dangerous condi
tions e.g hard shoulder of a motorway or in bad weather
conditions.
A deflated tyre can be driven further to the next workshop (approx.
50 km (approx. 30 miles)) at a suitable speed (max. 80 km/h (max.
50 mph)) and in suitable driving style for the conditions, see
Owner's wallet .
After checking the respective wheel, the responsibility lies with
the driver to decide if it is safe to drive further with the deflated
tyre.
-I- Tyres with normal air pressure

Tyres with run-flat properties -1- are supported on the reinforced


side walls (-red-). A special tyre mixture and the reduced walka
bility of the reinforced side walls reduces the heat created when
the tyre is run and the vehicle remains controllable.
Note

Please note the special requirements when using tyres with runflat properties page 55 .

54

Rep. gr.44 - Wheels, tyres, vehicle geometry

AG.

When a normal tyre -2- deflates, the side walls are pressed
against the wheel rims. The side walls heat up extremely or stick
and are therefore destroyed when the tyre is deflated.

Removing adhesive residue from glued balance weights on alloy


rims
Strong solvents and acids attack the finish on alloy wheels and
the surface of the wheel becomes matt and milky. Therefore,
these substances should not be used.
To remove adhesive residue on alloy wheels, use alloy cleans

of the cleaning agent.
After cleaning or removing adhesive residue from wheels,
rinse them with water.

Valve cap

1. Valve body
The rubber valve for tubeless tyres is designed to create an airtight seal in the hole in the rim. The elastic material of the rubber
body presses tightly into the hole in the rim.
In the case of valves with a threaded metal base, a rubber seal is
used to seal the rim. The lateral faces of the rim hole are sealing
surfaces. They must therefore be free of rust and dirt and must
not be damaged.
2. Valve core
The valve core has the most important job in the valve. It creates
a seal and enables the regulation of the air pressure. The small
flat seal on the valve core can function correctly only if it is free of

If the vehicle is driven without caps on the valves, there is the

Fitting and removing wheels

12.1

Changing wheels

Vehicles with front-wheel drive exhibit more tread wear on the


front wheels due to the greater forces they have to transmit.
In order for all 4 wheels on the vehicle to have the same service
life, we recommend rotating the front and rear wheels and tyres.
Ensure that uni-directional tyres are not reversed.
The longer the tyre runs at one position, the more it wears at cer
tain points. Therefore it is recommended to rotate the wheels at
short intervals, for example every 5,000 km.
Diagonal rotation is possible only with non-directional tyres. This
method of wheel rotation is especially advantageous in the case
of saw-tooth wear page 29 .
If saw-tooth wear has already progressed and the tread is worn
to more than 50%, only slight improvements would be achieved
and rotation is not recommended. The elasticity of the tread
blocks declines and the saw-tooth wear does not progress.

Depending on vehicle equipment, e.g. Passat cars with alloy

wheels and 225 mm tyres have a spare wheel with the sticker
described above instead of a temporary spare wheel.

The spare wheel or temporary spare wheel is intended only

for temporary use over short distances. Therefore, it must be


replaces by a normal wheel as quickly as possible.

After the temporary or spare wheel has been fitted, the tyre

pressure must be checked as soon as possible. For the correct


tyre pressure, please refer to the tyre pressure in the relevant
vehicle or the relevant manual: Maintenance manual.

Always observe the speed warning on the temporary spare

wheel (MAX 80 km/h or MAX 50 mph).

Full acceleration, hard braking and driving fast through curves

should be avoided.

Never drive with more than one spare wheel or temporary

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to disc-type wheels
from the accessories trade is not possible with the parts certificate
attached here.

Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in


safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.

Polo from model year 2002

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.

Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in


safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.

Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other


products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to wheels from the
accessories trade is not possible with the parts certificate attach
ed here.

Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab

Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other

Golf Plus from model year 2005

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in ofitting
requirements, torque
. V lkswagen AG
specifications and so on.

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this

lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to disc-type wheels
from the accessories trade is not possible with the parts certificate agen AG. Volkswagen AG do

The fitting instructions and torque specifications for wheels

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to wheels from the
accessories trade is not possible with the parts certificate attach
ed here.

Golf Variant BlueMotion model year


2008 to model year 2010

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.

New Beetle RSi

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to disc-type wheels
from the accessories trade is not possible with the parts certificate
attached here.

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of genuine Volkswagen spare parts only. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to disc-type wheels
from the accessories trade is not possible with the parts certificate
n AG. Volkswagen AG do
attached here.

Sharan from model year 1996

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to wheels from the
accessories trade is not possible with the parts certificate attach
ed here.

Touareg R50 from model year 2008

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. You can recognise this
by the VW Audi logo and by the part number. It has been estab
lished that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
WARNING

The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Votex gen


uine accessories may differ in fitting requirements, torque
specifications and so on.
Always follow the respective fitting and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to wheels from the
accessories trade is not possible with the parts certificate attach
ed here.
WARNING

The fitting instructions and torque specifications for wheels


from Votex genuine accessories may differ from those inten
ded for wheels from Volkswagen genuine parts. lksw

Recommended all-season tyres

Notes regarding the recommended makes of all-season tyre


Tyres are one of the most important elements in motor vehicle
construction and have a major influence on road safety. There
fore, they must fulfil numerous conditions which are specified
for tyre manufacturers in the DIN (German industrial stand
ards) and the directives of the German rubber industry e. V.
(W.d.K.). In addition, comprehensive testing is carried out at
Volkswagen before tyres are approved for initial fitting on our
vehicles.
The following lists all tyre makes and tread patterns that are
fitted to VW vehicles ex-factory, correct at the time of publica
tion.
These tyre makes/tread patterns meet the aforementioned
demands. We therefore recommend the tyres/tread types lis
ted in this guide are chosen as replacements.
Observe special requirements for tyres with run-flat properties

Recommended winter tyres

Notes regarding the recommended makes of winter tyre


Tyres are one of the most important elements in motor vehicle
construction and have a major influence on road safety. There
fore, they must fulfil numerous conditions which are specified
for tyre manufacturers in the DIN (German industrial stand
ards) and the directives of the German rubber industry e. V.
(W.d.K.). In addition, comprehensive testing is carried out at
Volkswagen before tyres are approved for initial fitting on our
vehicles.
