t
| We recommend the use of tyres that are more than 6 year-old
only in case of emergency and with careful driving. |
t
| In case of new tyre assembly, the spare tyre may be used if
it is in perfect conditions and if it is not older than 6 years-old.
The age of the tyres influence the strength when driving the vehicle
fast. The arrangement of a spare tyre with new tyres is possible,
but it may influence the behaviour of the vehicle while driving it. |
t
| The tyres take a constant evolution, and this fact shall lead
to small differences in the mix of the rubber, including when it is
a product of the same brand, dimensions and floor. |
t
| All VW vehicles have plant-installed four similar wheels and
tyres. |
Front-wheel drive vehicles: |
t
| For safety reasons, during the driving, in the same axis, tyres
of the same brand and with the same tread shall be used. |
Integral-wheel drive vehicles: |
t
| The integral-wheel drive vehicles shall be equipped with four
wheels and tyres with the same dimensions, type of construction, tyre
tread and brand. |
The tyres shall be always changed, if: |
l
| the legal minimum depth of 1.6 mm for the floor is reached, |
l
| there are visible damages due to mechanical action, |
l
| if the tyres are older than 6 years. |
