Get Wheels -> Spare wheel Guide for Volkswagen T Cross SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

WARNING

What you should be mindful of

Risk of accident!

For the best possible handling, use tyres on all four

wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.

Do not use worn tires.

Change winter tyres to summer tyres at the appro-

priate time. Summer tyres have better driving and

braking characteristics on snow- and ice-free roads

and at temperatures above 7 °C.

Tyre manufacturing date

The date of manufacture is indicated on the tyre

sidewall.

E.g. DOT ... 33 21 means that the tyre was manufac-

tured in the 33rd week of 2021.

WARNING
