General information about wheels and tires

On cars "Golf" tubeless radial tires and rims of various sizes are installed.

Keep in mind, when choosing a disc, it is necessary to take into account not only the diameter and width of the disc, but also the distance from the seating surface to the line of symmetry of the disc.

Initially, new tires do not yet provide sufficient traction; the first 100 km should be driven at a moderate speed and with extreme caution - during this period, the tires "rolling in". Successful implementation of this process contributes to a longer tire life.

Depending on the design features and tread pattern of tires, the tread height of new tires varies by individual tire models and manufacturers.

From time to time, tires are subjected to strength tests during operation (which can result in punctures, cuts, tears and swelling). Foreign bodies should be regularly removed from the tire tread.

To avoid damage to tires and rims, drive over curbs and other similar obstacles slowly and as straight as possible.

Often tires and wheels have hidden damage. An unusual vibration or vehicle pulling to one side may indicate tire damage. If there is a suspicion that the tire is damaged, slow down immediately! Check tires for damage (cracks, blisters, etc.). If no external damage is found, drive slowly and carefully to the nearest Volkswagen dealer for a thorough check of the condition of the tires.

Avoid contact of tires with oils, greases and fuels.

Replace lost dust caps with new ones immediately.

Before removing the wheels, it is necessary to make appropriate marks on them so that when reinstalling, the same direction of rotation of the tires can be maintained.

Removed wheels and tires should be stored in a clean and dry condition, if possible in a dark room. Tires not mounted on rims should be stored upright.

Before removing the wheels, increase the tire pressure by 0.3–0.5 bar.
