Wheels are the most heavily loaded and most underestimated parts of a vehicle. Wheels are very important as the narrow tyre surfaces
are the only contact between the vehicle and the road.
The wheels and tyres approved by Volkswagen have been carefully selected.
The service life of tyres is dependent on tyre pressure, driving style, handling and correct fitting.
Wheel rims, tyres and wheel bolts
Wheel rims, tyres and wheel bolts are matched to the vehicle type. If different wheel rims are fitted, the correct wheel bolts with the
correct length and correctly shaped bolt heads must be used. This ensures that the brakes work properly and that the vehicle drives
quietly and safely. For technical reasons, it is not generally possible to use the wheel rims from other vehicles. This can also apply to
wheel rims of the same vehicle type. Always contact a suitably qualified workshop if you wish to change to other tyre and wheel rim
combinations. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
The correct wheel bolts must be used for all vehicle types; these bolts must always be tightened with the correct tightening torque
(→ Wheel bolts).
Declaration of conformity for wheels and tyres
Applies only in India: Tyres fitted in the vehicle meet the requirement of BIS and comply with the requirements under the Central Motor
Vehicle Rules (CMVR), 1989.
WARNING
Incorrect handling of wheels can reduce vehicle safety and cause serious accidents and fatal injuries.
