All 4wheels must be fitted with radial tires of the same type, the same size (tread circumfer‐
ence), and the same tread pattern. Driving with different tires reduces vehicle handling and
can lead to a loss of control.
Never drive faster than the maximum speed for which the tires installed on your vehicle are
rated because tires that are driven faster than their rated speed can fail suddenly.
Overloading tires can cause heat build-up, sudden tire failure, including a blowout and sudden
deflation and loss of control.
Temperature grades apply to tires that are properly inflated and not over- or underinflated.
TIN represents the serial number of the tire.
Winter tires
Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒ Introduction to the
subject
Winter tires improve the handling characteristics of your vehicle significantly when driving under win‐
try road conditions. Summer tires have less traction on snow and ice because of their design (width,
rubber composition, tread design). Volkswagen strongly recommends that you always have winter
tires or all-season tires installed on all 4wheels on your vehicle, especially when winter road condi‐
tions are expected. Winter tires also improve the vehicle's braking performance and help reduce stop‐
ping distances during winter weather. Volkswagen recommends installing winter tires once tempera‐
tures are below +45°F (+7°C).
Winter tires are no longer suitable for winter driving once the tread pattern is worn down to a depth
of 3/16in (4.8mm). In addition, winter tire performance decreases with age – independent of the
tread profile depth.
When using winter tires:
Obey state and country-specific legal requirements.
Install winter tires on all 4wheels.
Use winter tires only under wintry road conditions.
Only use winter tires with dimensions approved for the vehicle.
Use only winter tires of the same tire belt design, the same dimensions (tread circumference), and
the same tread design.
