The tyres are the most heavily loaded and most underestimated parts of a vehicle. Tyres are very
important as the narrow tyre contact surfaces are the only contact between the vehicle and the
road.
The service life of tyres is dependent on tyre pressure, driving style, handling and correct fitting.

WARNING
New tyres or tyres which are old, worn down or damaged cannot provide full vehicle control and
braking efficiency.

Tread depth
In most countries, the minimum tread depth required by law is 1.6 mm (measured in the tread
grooves next to the tread wear indicators); observe any differing country-specific regulations. The
tyres should have the same tread depth, at the minimum on each axle

If you use V-rated winter tyres, the speed limits and required tyre pressure are determined by the

and required tyre pressure.
All-wheel drive (4MOTION)
Thanks to its all-wheel drive, the vehicle has good traction in winter conditions, even with the
standard tyres. Nevertheless, Volkswagen still recommends that winter tyres or all-year tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels in winter, above all because this will give improved braking efficiency.
