VEHICLE CARE
K >i
|B43-155|
Tire rotation If the
rear tires
are
worn more than
front
tires,
we
recommend
that
you
rotate
the
rear tires
with
the
front
tires
as
shown
in
the illustration.
By
doing this,
all
tires will
have
approximately the same service life.
Tires
should always remain on same
side
of vehicle
After rotation adjust
tire
pressure
and
torque wheel bolts/lug nuts diagonally
to
130
ft
lb/180
Nm.
Refer
to
"Changing
a
wheel"
on page 125
for
details.
Tire
wear
The
original tires
on
your vehicle have
built-in wear indicators. They
are
molded
into
the
bottom
of the
tread grooves
and
will appear
as
approximately
V6
inch (12 mm) bands when
the
tire
tread depth
wears
down
to Vie
inches
(1.6 mm).
Depending
on the
tire
manufacturer, there
are
six to
eight wear indicators evenly
spaced
around
the
circumference
of the
tire. Markings on the sides
of
the tires (e.g.
the letters "TWI"
or a
triangle) show
the
locations
of
the wear indicators.
When
the indicators appear in two
or
more
adjacent grooves,
it is
time
to
replace
the
tires.
We
recommend, however,
that
you
do
not let the
tires wear down
to
this
extent. Worn tires cannot grip
the
road
surface
properly, and are even
less
effec
tive on wet roads.
WARNING
•
Do not drive
with
worn tires or tires
showing
cuts,
bruises
or other damage
because
they may lead to
sudden
defla
tion
causing
loss
of
vehicle
control
and
personal
injury.
•
Since
worn tires do not grip the road
surface
properly when driving on wet
roads,
the vehicle may tend to aqua
plane sooner. We strongly urge you to
replace your tires when the remaining
tread depth is .12
inches
(3 mm).
Incorrect
wheel
alignment
Incorrect wheel alignment
causes
exces
sive
and
uneven
tire
wear impairing
the
safety
of the
vehicle.
If
you notice
exces
sive
tire
wear, contact your Volkswagen
dealer.
