Volkswagen recommends that all work on tires and wheels be done by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. They are familiar with the technical requirements
and recommended procedures, have the necessary special tools and spare parts, and can properly
dispose of old tires.
WARNING
New tires or tires that are old, worn or damaged cannot provide maximum control and braking
performance.
Improper care and handling of tires and wheels can reduce driving safety and cause accidents
and severe injuries.
Install only radial tires of the same make, the same dimensions (tread circumference), and
similar tread profile on all 4wheels.
New tires tend to be slippery and must be broken in. Always drive with special care for the first
350miles (560km) to help reduce the risk of losing control, a collision, and serious personal
injuries.
Check tire inflation pressure regularly when the tires are cold and always maintain the pre‐
scribed tire pressure. Low tire pressure can cause tires to get too hot, resulting in tread sepa‐
ration, sudden loss of pressure, and blowouts. Tires with excessively low pressure flex (bend)
more, which can cause the tire to overheat and fail suddenly without warning.
Check tires regularly for wear and damage.
Never drive with worn or damaged tires (for example, tires with punctures, cuts, cracks, blis‐
ters, or bumps). Driving with worn or damaged tires can lead to loss of vehicle control, sudden
tire failure including blowouts and sudden deflation, crashes, and serious personal injuries.
Have worn or damaged tires replaced immediately.
Never exceed the maximum speed rating or the maximum load rating of the tires on your
vehicle.
