Notes regarding the recommended makes of summer tyre
   
t  Tyres are one of the most important elements in motor vehicle construction and have a major influence on road safety. Therefore, they must fulfil numerous conditions which are specified for tyre manufacturers in the DIN (German industrial standards) and the directives of the German rubber industry e. V. (W.d.K.). In addition, comprehensive testing is carried out at Volkswagen before tyres are approved for initial fitting on our vehicles.
t  The following lists all tyre makes and tread patterns that are fitted to VW vehicles ex-factory, correct at the time of publication.
t  These tyre makes/tread patterns meet the aforementioned demands. We therefore recommend the tyres/tread types listed in this guide are chosen as replacements.
t  Note the specific characteristics of run-flat tyres → Wheels and Tyres Guide - General Information; Rep. gr.44.
