Rotating wheels when all wheels have the same tyre and rim sizes
Diagram for rotating wheels when all wheels have the same
tyre and rim sizes (illustration).
If all wheels have the same tyre and rim sizes, it is recommended to regularly rotate the wheels in accordance with the diagram
→ Fig. 1 to ensure even wear of all tyres. All the tyres will then last for about the same time.
Volkswagen recommends having a wheel change carried out by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an
authorised repairer.
Different tyre and wheel rim sizes on front and rear axles
Your vehicle may be equipped with wheels which have different tyre and rim sizes depending on the axle on which they are fitted. The
different wheels must not be swapped between the front and rear axles because this may also lead to the type approval for the vehicle
becoming invalid.
The size (rolling circumference) and tread design of the tyres on the front and rear axles may differ.
