1 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 recommended tyre

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.

Prote AG.
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.
2. Legislative and technical conditions for converting wheel and tyre combinations 3
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

3.1 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.

3.3 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:

For the letter v, enter the maximum speed given in field T of
part I or II of the registration document or under number 6 of the
vehicle documentation. This calculation is necessary because all
vehicles, for technical reasons, achieve different maximum
speeds within a legally permitted tolerance.
4.4 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.

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
area of the overlapping parts. The overlaps

Storage of tyres Prote AG.
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

in the DOT designation, which includes the production date of the

tyre.
Example of a DOT number to 31.12.1999
DOT ..... 5 0 9 <
.
Stands for 199_
Last digit is production year
Week
In this example, the production date is the 50th week of 1999.
Example of a DOT number from 01.01.2000
DO ..... 0 1 0 0
T .
Last 2 digits is production year
Week
In this example, the production date is the 1st week of 2000.
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
several years old with new ntyres; ohowever,

and antifreeze in the windscreen washing system."

Please point out to customers that, since May 1st 2006, they are
legally obliged to adapt their vehicle's equipment, particularly the
tyres, to winter weather conditions.
For driving in winter, we recommend that the vehicle be equipped
with winter tyres in the sizes recommended in table 2 of the parts

4.8 Winter tyres with speed symbol V

The tyre industry now supplies winter tyres with speed symbol
"V". But only under certain conditions may these tyres be used up
to the maximum permitted speed vmax = 240 km/h.
Vehicles with V tyres
Vehicles requiring V tyres according to the vehicle's title docu
ment can use winter tyres with speed symbol V without restriction
at speeds up to vmax =240 km/h.
Vehicles with W, Y or ZR tyres:
Under certain circumstances, vehicles requiring W, Y or ZR tyres
according to the vehicle's title document may not be driven at
speeds of vmax = 240 km/h.
Why?
V summer tyres and V winter tyres without special identification
page 16 have 100 % of their maximum load capacity (as

specified by their load index LI) page 16 only up to speeds

of 210 km/h.
Speeds above 210 km/h are possible with V winter tyres only if
the maximum load of the tyres is not exceeded. The load capacity
of the tyres decreases as the speed increases.
The maximum permitted axle load and the maximum achievable
speed of some VW vehicles are so high that the load capacity of
the V tyres is not sufficient for speeds of up to 240 km/h.
example: Tyre 205/55 R 16
91
V
The load index (LI) 91 certifies that this tyre has a load capacity
of 615 kg per tyre at up to 210 km/h.
At a speed of 240 km/h, this tyre can carry a load of only 560 kg,
i.e. the axle load may not exceed 1120 kg.

Prote AG.
Some tyre manufacturers have for some time replaced the des

designation has long been standard in non-European countries.
Technically, there is no difference between them.
Some tyre manufacturers also use the designation XL for Extra
Load tyres.
Tyres with the designation Reinforced or Extra Load (XL) are
of equal quality.
4.12 Snow chains

Snow chains must be fitted to driven wheels only.

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.

5 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.

Diagrams 1 and 2 show that the tread on a new tyre wears faster

basis of wear after a distance of 5,000 km.

5.9 One-sided wear

This is often caused by driving style, but can be the result of in
correct wheel alignment.

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.
Toe-out or negative toe-in

Distance between the front edges of the wheels -A- is greater than
distance between the rear edges of the wheels -B- (-C- = direction
of travel).

Toe-in or positive toe

Distance between the front edges of the wheels -A- is less than
distance between the rear edges of the wheels -B- (-C- = direction

To prevent one-sided wear, care must be taken to ensure that the
wheel is set within the tolerance specified by the vehicle manu
facturer. The most frequent deviation of the wheel alignment is
caused by external influences, for example hard contact with the
kerbstone when parking.
By measuring the axle geometry, you can check whether the
wheel alignment is within the specified tolerances or whether it
has to be corrected.agen AG. Volkswagen AG do

has a positive side effect in that the tyres can wear down
equally, meaning that a completely new set of tyres can be

the tyres on each axle, which can have negative effects on

Some tread patterns may create an impression of premature
wear: if winter tyre sipes or channels in the tread are worn
down, only compact profile blocks without patterns remain,
thus giving the impression of a worn tyre. In this case, the re
maining tread depth must be measured in each groove. If this
is at or below the minimum tread depth, the tyre can continue
to be used without restrictions. (In Germany, the minimum is
1.6 mm; it is recommended, and in Austria, required, that win
ter tyres that are worn down to 4 mm be used only in summer )
5.11 Wear in middle of tyre

This wear pattern is found on the driven wheels of high-perform
ance vehicles that are frequently driven long distances at high
speeds.
At high speeds, centrifugal forces cause the tyre diameter to in
crease more in the middle of the tread than it does at the shoulder.
This causes drive forces to be transferred to the road surface from

the centre section of the tread. This is reflected in the wear pat
tern.
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.

6 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
tact patch moves along the road surface. agen

A wider wheel rim will also cause a tyre to have a wider contact

tyre. Moreover, the damping characteristics of the tyre may also
be adversely affected by the wider wheel rim.

6. Tyre noise 29
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.

edges of the tyres on one axle, turn both tyres around on their
rims. The left-hand wheel must then be fitted on the right side of
the vehicle and the right-hand wheel on the left side.
6.3 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.

If a vehicle is braked to a standstill on a dry surface with the

wheels locked, the amount of rubber worn from the tyre will cover
an area the size of a postcard and will have a thickness of:
up to 2.0 mm from a speed of 57 km/h (23.8 m braking dis

Tyres with such damage must no longer be used and must be

7.6 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.

Tighten wheel bolts to specified torque setting if you have not
already done so. Volkswa AG. gen AG

identified as such.
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.

Requirements and conditions:

Check and, if necessary, correct inflation pressures.
Drive the car on a motorway where possible.
Traffic and road conditions permitting, drive a 20 to 30 km
stretch at a speed of 120 to 150 km/h.

8 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.
Parts of a tyre

be felt at the steering wheel.
Pulling to one side during fast acceleration
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
tions on the tyre face outwards. The wheels and/or tyres on
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
ment?
Perform the road test on a road which is level, straight and
ungrooved and does not drop off to one side.
Perform the road test with the customer under the conditions
specified above. Ask the customer to demonstrate the prob
lem.
Note
There must be no crosswind during the road test.
If the complaint is justified, we recommend rotating the wheels

and tyres as described below.
Before you begin, observe the following notes; otherwise your ef

a gradual loss of pressure, which the driver will not notice imme

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.
9.8 Tyre damage due to insufficient tyre

pressure
The most common causes for tyre failure are minor external dam
age, a defective valve or a leaking rim due to corrosion or dam
age.

9. Tyre damage 51
9.10 Tyre damage due to fitting error (fitting

damage)
Bead core broken during tyre inflation.
Modern radial tyres for passenger cars are mounted only on safe
ty rims. Safety rims have a hump -1- running along the bead seat.
1- Hump (double hump H 2), extended double hump (EH2)
2- Rim flange
3- Inner bead seat (e.g. tapered bead seat)
4- Rim
5- Wheel
6- Well
7- Outer bead seat (e.g. tapered bead seat)
The hump prevents the tyre from being pressed out of the bead
seat during travel with insufficient tyre pressure.
When the tyre is inflated, the bead of the tyre may not slip com
pletely over the outer rim hump.
In this case, there is a danger of the bead core becoming over
stretched if the tyre pressure is too high. The steel wires would gen AG

Tyres with run-flat properties have reinforced side walls when

comparing them with normal tyres. This reduces the slippage of
ot p

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
spec
leviates the necessity to fit the spare wheel in dangerous condi
t to the co
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.
rrectne
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

When a normal tyre -2- deflates, the side walls are pressed by c lksw

Tyres with run-flat properties -1- are supported on the reinforced
side walls (-red-). A special tyre mixture and the reduced walka

the tyre is run and the vehicle remains controllable.

11.9 The valve

1- Valve body
2- Valve core
3- Valve cap
1. Valve body
The rubber valve for tubeless tyres is designed to create an air-
tight 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
foreign particles, dirt and moisture. The
wage compressed air system

12 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.

and dirt.
The concave seats * in the holes for the wheel bolts and the
threads of the wheel bolts must also be free of corrosion and
dirt, oil or grease.

Note
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
spare wheel.
