Tread wear indicators in tyres
The tread wear indicators show if a tyre is worn down. The tyre must be replaced at the latest when
the tread is worn down to the tread wear indicator.
The bottom of the tyre tread has 1.6 mm high tread wear indicators ⇒ Fig. 196 . Markings on the
tyre sidewall indicate the position of the wear indicators ⇒ Fig. 196 .

Worn tyres are a safety risk and can lead to a loss of control over the vehicle and cause serious

Tyre wear
Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard braking all increase tyre wear.

Wheel imbalance may develop when the vehicle is driven; you will notice this by nervous steering
response. Unbalanced wheels will affect the level of tyre wear. In this case, the wheels should be
balanced again.
Incorrect wheel alignment impairs driving safety and increases tyre wear. The running gear should
be checked by a qualified workshop if tyres show excessive wear.

WARNING
If you notice unusual vibration or the car pulling to one side while the vehicle is in motion, this may
indicate that one of the tyres is damaged.

Check the tyres and wheel rims for damage.

appropriate wheel, tyre and snow chain sizes.
If possible, use snow chains with fine-pitch links which do not protrude more than 13.5 mm,
including the tensioner.
Remove centre wheel trims and rim trim rings before fitting snow chains ⇒ . For safety reasons,
caps must then be fitted over the wheel bolts. Caps are available from Volkswagen dealerships.
