An optimal compromise must be found to ensure driver safety.
1. General Information 1
Every tire faces many different types of stress over distance and
time. Therefore, it is important that the basic requirements for op
timal use of tires are fulfilled.
The correct adjustment of the axle geometry while performing a
vehicle alignment is an important requirement for an optimal serv
ice life of the tire. Therefore, the adjustment of the axle geometry
must lie within the specified tolerance range.
Information for vehicle alignment, refer to Suspension, Wheels,
Steering; Rep. Gr. 44 ; General Information .
Note
There are many causes for tire damage and complaints. There

1.3.1 New Vehicle Registration Documents

Since October 1, 2005
The implementation of EU guideline 1999/37/EG "Vehicle Regis
tration Documents" in national legislation and legal data protec
tion requirements have made the introduction of new, fraud
resistant registration documents necessary.
Since 01.10.2005, the new documents are issued by the author
ities in the case of new registrations, change of owner, entry of
technical changes and all other changes.
The new registration documents consist of:
The registration certificate part I, which replaces the vehicle
registration.

The registration certificate part II that supersedes the vehicle

title.
Registration Certificate Part I (Vehicle Registration)
Contains all technical vehicle data that must be present to
register a vehicle in Europe but only a standard approved
wheel/tire combination is specified.
Has the EU-wide alphanumeric codes allocated to the techni
cal data so that the German registration document can be

1.3.2 Certificate of Conformity

The vehicle manufacturer must request an EU type approval for
all passenger vehicles (vehicle class M1).
A certificate of conformity is produced based on this type appro
val.
This document confirms that the vehicle conforms to the EU op
erating license and is registered in every EU country without the
need for individual approval.
The issuing applies to all vehicles that were produced in accord
ance with the EU operating license.
These vehicles have an EU type plate (black sticker) in the driver
door area or in the engine compartment on older vehicles.
The certificate of conformity has the same importance as the op
erating license, so the original should not be kept in the vehicle.
The certificate of conformity contains the EU type approval num
ber and detailed technical information about the vehicle such as
the emissions category and all permitted wheel/tire combinations.

Refer to
1.3.3 EU Type Approval Number, Sales Type and Sales or

1.3.3 EU Type Approval Number, Sales Type and Sales or Trade Name
Since 01/01/1998, all passenger vehicles licensed for road use
within the European Union must possess type approval according
to EU guidelines . Vehicles licensed for road use with single-ve
hicle approval according to 21 StVZO in Germany are excepted.
Therefore, the same guidelines apply to all automobile manufac
turers. Consequently, international trade within the EU has been
simplified.

the emissions category and all permitted wheel/tire combinations.

1.4.9 Tire Wear, One Sided

In many causes, this is caused by driving style, but sometimes it
is also caused by incorrect axle adjustment.
Increased One-Sided Wear
One-sided wear, in conjunction with scrub marks on tread ribs and
finer grooves, always appears when tires roll at an extreme slip
angle and consequently scrub on the road surface.
Driving quickly around curves leads to increased wear, especially
on the outside edge.
A rounded tire shoulder in conjunction with especially high wear
on the outer tread bars indicates fast driving around curves. This
wear pattern is influenced by the driving style.
The suspension is adjusted to certain toe and camber values to
optimize handling. When tires roll under conditions other than
those specified, increased and one-sided wear must be expected.
Strong one-sided wear can be caused especially by incorrect toe
and camber values. This increases the danger of diagonal wear
spots.

Toe-Out or Negative Toe-In

The distance between the fronts of the tires -A- is greater than the
distance between the backs of the tires -B- (-C- = direction of
travel).

Toe-In or Positive Toe-In

The distance between the fronts of the tires -A- is less than the
distance between the backs of the tires -B- (-C- = direction of
travel).
To avoid one-sided tire wear, ensure that the wheel alignment
remains within the tolerances specified by the vehicle manufac
turer. The most common deviation of wheel alignment is caused
by external influences, for example hard contact with the curb
when parking.
A measurement of the axle geometry can determine whether the
wheel alignment is within the specified tolerances or whether a
correction of the wheel alignment is necessary.
Changes to the Suspension
If a lowering-kit and/or light alloy wheels from accessories which
have not been recommended by VW are used, wheel alignments
which deviate from the alignment specified in design may occur
during travel.
Even if the adjustment of the axle geometry measured on a stand
ing vehicle is correct, changes in the body height and positions of
the wheels during travel can lead to changes to the paths of travel
of the wheel suspension.
For this reason, uneven wear is pre-programmed.

1.5.1 Rolling Noises

Rolling noise perceived by the human ear is caused by vibrations
transmitted from the noise source to the ear via the air.
Here we are interested in noises created by certain characteristics
of the tires as well as the effects of rolling (noise source).
The cause for the noise generation depends primarily on the
combination of road surface and tire.
The surface structure and material of the road surface also have
a strong influence on the rolling noise. For example, the noise
level on a wet road is substantially higher than on a dry road.
The design of the tread has a great influence on the noise gen
eration. Tires with cross grooves at an angle of 90 are louder
than tires with grooves running diagonally.
Small tread blocks are unstable. Due to strong deformation, the
air is excited by the rolling tires. Air vibrations occur, which will
generate noises.
Wider tires are louder. They require more tread grooves for water
displacement. Air is displaced by these tread grooves while roll
ing, which also cause air vibrations.
Other effects which also have an influence on noise generation:
Tire vibration is the main cause of rolling noise. The noise is
generated by the excitation of the air column in the grooves.
Air pumping is the compression and expansion of air as the
contact patch comes in contact with the road surface and the
tread blocks are deformed.
Aid to Reasoning of Rolling Noise
Noise generation is created chiefly by tires and the road surface.
Influencing factors of road surface are roughness, structure and
material.
Influencing factors for tires fall under different tire and rim widths.
A wider tire generates more noise due to its wider contact patch . Volkswagen AG

1.5.2 Heel and Toe Wear
es, in part or in w
t to the co
Heel-and-toe wear is step-like wear of individual tread blocks, due
to which an increased rolling noise can develop. The heel-and-
rrectness of i
toe wear is caused by the uneven distortion of the tread blocks in
the contact patch. Heel-and-toe wear appears in more extreme

forms on non-tractive wheels than on tractive wheels.

New tires have a stronger tendency to heel-and-toe wear, be

cause the high tread blocks have greater elasticity. As tread depth
decreases, the rigidity of the tread blocks increases and the ten
dency to heel-and-toe wear decreases.
Appearance of Heel-and-Toe Wear
A - Tread blocks of a new tire; viewed in direction of travel
-arrow 1-, tread blocks have the same height in front and rear.
B - Heel-and-toe wear; viewed in direction of travel -arrow 1-, the
tread blocks are higher in front than in rear -arrow 2-.
C - Viewed in direction of travel -arrow 1-, tread blocks exhibit
significant wear in forward area of heel-and-toe wear
-arrow 3-.
Extreme heel-and-toe wear may lead to customer complaints
about noise.
Increased heel-and-toe wear occurs with:
Toe values too great.
Incorrect air pressure.
Deep, open treads.
Tires which are not mounted on the tractive axle.
Extreme driving style around curves.
Non-Directional Tires
When heel-and-toe wear occurs, the direction of travel of the tire
must be reversed. If increased heel-and-toe wear and rolling
noise develop, the tires should be rotated diagonally. This leads
to a reduction of heel-and-toe wear.
On vehicles with front wheel drive, this effect is increased by in
creased wear on front axle.
The rolling noise is somewhat louder immediately after rotating
the wheels, but the normal noise level will be reached after trav
eling approximately 500 to 1000 km. olkswage es n

Wear spots are caused by a hard stop with locked wheels where

1.6.11 Flat Spots in Tires from Standing

What is a flat spot from standing?
Terms like flat portion, flattening, are also used as a term for flat
spots from standing.
Flat spots from standing cause vibration, like an incorrectly bal
anced wheel. It is important to recognize a flat spot in the tread
from standing as such!
Flat spots from standing cannot be corrected by balancing, and
can occur again at any time under various circumstances. Flat
spots from standing can be corrected without complicated special
tools. Providing that the flat spot was not caused by wheel lock
during hard braking. Refer to 1.5.3 Wear Spots, page 19
Note
Wear spots due to wheel lock are irreparable! Tires with such
damage must be replaced.
Causes of Flat Spots from Standing

The vehicle stands for several weeks in a location without be
ing moved.
Tire pressure is too low.
The vehicle was placed in a paint system drying cabinet after
painting.
The vehicle was parked with warm tires in a cold garage or
similar for a long time. In this case, a flat spot can develop
overnight.

Perform a road test to determine if a vehicle pulls to one side and
if so, when and to which side. If the vehicle pulls to one side. Refer
to
1.7.3 Corrective Action When Vehicle Pulls to One Side, page
30
If the vehicle alignment is measured, submit the measurement
printout and the complaint report with the tire.
Manufacturer's tolerances can lead to taper in the tire construc
tion. This results in a side force when the tire rolls, which acts
directly on the suspension and can therefore lead to vehicle self-
steering behavior. Targeted rotation of the wheels can balance
out this self-steering behavior.
1.7.2 Taper
Taper is caused by slightly offsetting the tread and/or the belt by
a few tenths of a millimeter from the geometric center of the tire.
Taper cannot be recognized visually nor can it be measured with
workshop equipment.

One-sided Pulling on Front Axle
cted agen
Prote AG.
Pulling to one side can be caused by the suspension. However,

experience shows that in 90% of all complaints, the tires cause
pulling to one side.
One-sided Pulling During Normal Driving Style
On a straight, level road surface, the vehicle wants to pull to one
side at a constant speed or with moderate acceleration. A force
can be felt at the steering wheel.
One-sided Pulling During Strong Accelerating
Pulling to one side during fast acceleration is, in part, due to the
design of vehicles with front wheel drive. Various frictional con
ditions of left and right wheels, for example, possible irregularities
in the road surface (pot holes) and consequently varying adhesion
to ground have a substantial influence on the handling charac
teristics. This does not constitute a complaint in the sense of
warranty coverage.
1.7.3 Corrective Action When Vehicle Pulls to

One Side
Test Conditions Before and During the Road Test
Check all suspension components on front and rear suspen
sion for damage.
Check tire pressure and correct if necessary.
Check the tires for external damage. Holes, cuts, bulges in the
side wall, flat spots from braking and/or damage to the tread.
Ask the customer if a tire had been damaged by a nail or sim
ilar object and perhaps repaired by a tire dealer. You may have
to replace such tires.
Check tires for even wear and tread depth.

Are all tires of the same type, manufacture and tread pattern?
If the tires are non-directional, ensure that all DOT classifica
tions on the tire face outwards. It may be that the vehicle's
wheels and tires were already changed around at an earlier
date.
Are the tire brands factory recommended as initial equipment?
For the road test, use a level, straight driving surface that does
not slope off to one side and does not have ruts.
Perform the road test with the customer under the conditions
specified above. The customer should demonstrate the prob
lem.
Note
There should not be any side wind when road test takes place.
If the complaint is justified, it is recommend to rotate the wheels

and tires as described on the following pages.
Before beginning, observe the following notes, otherwise all effort
will be for nothing!
Note
Mark tires/wheels before the first rotation, e.g. LF, RF, LR, RR.
After rotating wheels or reversing the tire on its rim, observe
very carefully how the vehicle behaves during the road test.
Note what was replaced and how.
The intensity or any possible change to the one-sided pulling
should be assessed.
To do this, it is absolutely essential that the road tests are al
ways performed by the same person on the same road. It is
best to drive the test

Damage from Imbedded Foreign Bodies
Frequently, the foreign object -marking- is so securely embedded
in the tire that it will not free itself even at higher speeds. Due to
this, it can act as a plug and seal the tire relatively well. The result
is gradual loss of pressure which the driver does not notice im

ried. A sporty driving style also requires correct or even slightly

increased air pressure.
Slow Loss of Air Pressure
The slow loss of tire pressure is an especially tricky process be
cause even experienced drivers often do not notice it.
The insufficient air pressure and the related increase in force re
quired to flex the tire (inner friction) cause the tire material to heat
up so much that the various components and rubber compounds
can separate.
The final stage is usually the complete destruction of the tire. Re
fer to 1.8.8 Damage from Low Tire Pressure, page 37
The cause for the slow pressure loss cannot always be deter
mined because the tire is severely damaged and components of
the tire are missing.
1.8.8 Damage from Low Tire Pressure

The most common causes of failure are small external damage,
a defective valve or a leaky rim due to corrosion or damage.
Separation of Carcass and Rubber
Strong heating due to driving with substantially insufficient pres

1.9 Tires with Emergency Running Charac

teristics
1.9.2 Structure and Identification, page 41
page 42
1.9.4 Repairing, page 43

Run-flat tires have a reinforced sidewall in comparison to stand
ard tires. This reduces the tendency for the sidewall to roll when
there is a loss of pressure and prevents the sides of the tire from
being pinched. This allows the vehicle to be driven while still
maintaining close to normal driving behavior. It also eliminates
the need to install the spare tire in dangerous situations such as
on the highway or in poor weather conditions.

When there is a flat tire, the vehicle can still be driven to the near
est workshop (within approximately 50 km) as long as the vehicle
speed (maximum 80 km/h) and driving style are adapted accord
ingly, see the Owner's Manual.

Do not repair damaged rims by heating, welding or adding

Do not repair damaged or deformed rims or rims with
cracked or deformed bolt holes.
Only prepare wheels with tested and specified original
paint materials.
No warranty claims can be made against the manufacturer
after preparing rims.
Do not repair rims that have cracks forming on the edges. Replace
them immediately.
Cutting work, application of heat and welding applications of any
kind are not permitted.
Reshaping material is not permitted.
The true running and axial run-out deviations before preparation
must not exceed the manufacturing tolerance of 0.8 mm.
Only cast light alloy wheels may be primed. These wheels have
the material identification AIsi xx on the inside.
Forged wheels may only be painted.
Preparation is limited to the painted surfaces.
Wheels that have been worn smooth that only have a clear coat
may not be repaired.
Only surface damage on the visible side of the wheel may be re
paired.

Damage must not be more than 1 mm deep.

Up to 50 mm of the rim flange may be removed and filled.
1.11.9 Rubber Valve

1- Valve body
2- Valve core
3- Valve cap
Valve Body
The rubber valve for tubeless tires is designed to seal air-tight in
the hole in the rim. The elastic material of the rubber body presses
itself tightly into the hole in the rim.
When valves with threaded metal feet are used, a rubber seal is
used to seal the rim. The area around the edge of the valve hole
is a sealing area. Therefore, they must be free of rust, dirt and
damage.
Valve Core
The valve core has the most important job in the valve. It creates
a seal and enables the regulation of the air pressure. The small
plate seal on the valve core can only do its job when it is free of
impurities, dirt and moisture. The compressed air system must be
free of water and oil!
Valve Cap
A valve cap must always be screwed onto the valves. It prevents
dirt from getting into the valve. Dirt which may be in the valve
would reach the seal of the valve plate when the tire is inflated
and cause a leak.
The valve must be replaced every time a new tire is fitted.
If the vehicle is driven without caps on the valves, there is the
danger that dirt may get into the valve. This leads to gradual loss
of air and therefore lead to the destruction of the tire: wage

1. General Information
Be sure not to mix up tires, which have the direction of rotation

marked on them.
Diagonal rotation is possible only with non-directional tires. This
wheel rotation is especially advantageous for heel-and-toe wear.
Refer to 1.5.2 Heel and Toe Wear, page 18 .
If heel-and-toe wear has already progressed very far and the
tread is more than 50% worn, only slight improvement can be
achieved and rotation is no longer recommended. The elasticity
of the tread blocks declines and the heel-and-toe wear does not
progress.

Notes About Recommended Summer Tires
Tires are one of the most important construction elements of
a vehicle and significantly influence driving safety. Therefore,
the numerous requirements detailed in the DIN standards and
the W.d.K. (Trade association of the German rubber industry)
and tire manufacturers' guidelines must be fulfilled. In addition,
extensive tests are performed by Volkswagen before the tires
are approved for original equipment on our vehicles.
The following tire manufacturers meet the listed requirements.
We recommend using tired made by these manufacturers
when installing new tires.
The following is a list of all tire manufacturers whose tires are
installed on VW vehicles at the time of manufacture.
The listed tire manufacturers and tire profiles are the most
current at the time of this publication. Just like any other prod
uct, tires are constantly being developed further. It is possible
that changes in tire manufacturers and tire profiles were made

For all vehicles with national type approval, the maximum speed Prote AG.
is calculated using the following formula:
Formula for Vehicles with vmax up to 150 km/h
vmax = 1.03 x v + 3.5 km/h page 83
Example: Indicated maximum speed v = 145 km/h.
vmax = 1.03 x 145 km/h + 3.5 km/h = 152.85 km/h.
In this example, a Q tire or a tire with a higher-order speed rating
must be used.

vmax = 1.01 x v + 6.5 km/h page 83
vmax = 1.01 x 163 km/h + 6.5 km/h = 171.13 km/h.
In this example, an S tire or a tire with a higher-order speed
rating must be used.
Vehicles with EU Type Approval
For all vehicles with EU-registration, the maximum speed is cal
culated using the following formula:
vmax = 1.05 x v page 83
vmax = 1.05 x 172 km/h = 180.60 km/h.
In this example, a T tire or a tire with a higher-order speed rating
must be used.
Using tires with a higher-order speed rating is permitted. The
same applies for tires with higher-order load-carrying capacity
characteristic number (load index).

Note
For the letter v, enter the specified maximum speed in the ve

hicle registration Part I or II in the field T or in the vehicle title
under number 6. This conversion is necessary, because due to
technical reasons, all vehicles reach different maxim speeds with
in a legally permissible range.
2.4 Cracking
Cracking is the term for shallow cracks in the sidewall of the tire.
They run starting from the bulge in the direction of the tire shoul
der. See Illustration for the mentioned components. Refer to
page 29
The cause is the increase in material at the joints of the tire com
ponents.
Cracking has no effect on:

This may lead to life-threatening situations when the car is

However, tire damage occurs only when the reaction time of the
chemicals is long. If a few drops of fuel land on a tire during a fill-

AG.
Tires age as a result of physical and chemical processes

whereby the function can be impaired. Tires which are stored
for longer periods of time become harder and brittle faster than
tires which are constantly in use on a vehicle.
Older tires may develop hairline cracks from aging.
When tires are in constant use, the kneading activates soft
eners in the rubber, preventing hardening and the develop
ment of cracks.
Therefore, one should note not just the tread depth but also
the age of spare tires, stored tires and tires which are not per
manently in use.
Tire age can be determined from the DOT code which con
tains, among other things, the tire's production date.

Calendar week
In this example, the production date is the 01st week of 2000.
Recommendation
Using summer and winter tires that are more than 6 years old
is not recommended. The aging process reduces the original

characteristics. The gripping capabilities of winter tires are es

pecially reduced.
When new tires are fitted, the spare tire may also be used if it
is in flawless condition and is not more than 6 years old. The
age of the tire has a great influence on the high-speed capa
bility of the tire. The combination of a spare tire which is several
years old with new tires is possible, but it can influence the
car's handling.

2.8 Winter Tires

Using Winter Tires
From May 1, 2006, the road traffic regulations were changed to
include the following: "Vehicle equipment must be adapted to the
weather conditions. This includes suitable tires and freeze pro
tection in the windshield washer system."
Inform the customer that since May 1st, 2006, he or she is obli
gated to adapt vehicle equipment, especially tires, to winter
weather conditions.
For the winter operation, it is recommended to mount winter tires
in the sizes shown in the parts certificate table.
Always Applicable
All tire sizes listed in the vehicle papers can also be driven as
winter tires!
The handling characteristics may be affected due to the use of
winter tires the resulting changes in wheel and tire dimensions.
For this reason, driving speed must be adapted to the changed
handling characteristics and road conditions.

To attain best handling characteristics winter tires must be moun

ted on all wheels.
If while mounting the winter tires, the vehicle is equipped with rims
that are not factory-fitted, the following must be observed:
Wheels and wheel bolts are coordinated to each other!
When retrofitting to different wheels, the corresponding wheel
nuts with the correct length and cup shape 4) must be used.
The secure seating of the wheels and the function of the brake
system depend on it!
Winter tires with tread depth of less than 4 to 5 mm are only
for limited use during winter operation.
In some countries, at least 4 mm treadAdepth are required for

( page 87 ) guarantee 100% of the load capacity indicated by
their Load Index (LI) ( page 86 ) only up to a speed of 210
km/h.
Speeds above 210 km/h are only possible if the maximum load
capacity of the tire is not exceeded. The load capacity of the tire
decreases as the speed increases.
The maximum permissible axle load and the attainable maximum
speed of certain VW vehicles are so high that the load capacity
of V tires is not sufficient for speeds above 240 km/h.
Example: Tires 205/55 R 16

V
The Load Index (LI) 91 for this tire indicates a load capacity of 615
kg per tire up to 210 km/h.
At 240 km/h, the load capacity of this tire is reduced to only 560
kg. For this reason, the axle load can only be maximum 1,120 kg.

The Passat Wagon V6 4MOTION has an additional axle load of

1,150 kg and an attainable maximum speed of 232 km/h. This
vehicle can be driven with V winter tires up to a speed of 230 km/
h.
Note
This applies to all V winter tires that do not have a special desig
nation.
2.10 Winter Tires, Extra Load, Speed Rating

V
V winter tires with XL designation have a higher load capacity than
the V winter tires without this designation.
Higher speeds can be attained with XL V-winter tires, but the
maximum speed of the V tires of 240 km/h is not permissible for
every VW passenger car.
The same conditions apply for these tires as for V winter tires
without special designation
!
Tire Pressure in Extra Load V Tires
The following table shows the speed which the concerned VW
passenger cars can attain with V-winter tires, depending on their

AG.
= For vehicles equipped with an anti-theft radio, be sure of the correct radio activation code before disconnecting the
battery or removing the radio. If the wrong code is entered when the power is restored, the radio may lock up and
become inoperable, even if the correct code is used in a later attempt.
= If you are going to work under a vehicle on the ground, make sure that the ground is level. Block the wheels to
keep the vehicle from rolling. Disconnect the battery negative terminal (ground strap) to prevent others from
starting the vehicle while you are under it.
= Do not attempt to work on your vehicle if you do not feel well. You increase the danger of injury to yourself and
others if you are tired, upset or have taken medicine or any other substances that may impair you or keep you from
being fully alert.
= Never run the engine unless the work area is well ventilated. Carbon monoxide (CO) kills.
= Always observe good workshop practices. Wear goggles when you operate machine tools or work with acid. Wear
goggles, gloves and other protective clothing whenever the job requires working with harmful substances.
= Tie long hair behind your head. Do not wear a necktie, a scarf, loose clothing, or a necklace when you work near
machine tools or running engines. If your hair, clothing, or jewelry were to get caught in the machinery, severe
injury could result.
= Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use. Some fasteners are designed to be used
only once and are unreliable and may fail if used a second time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts,
washers, circlips and cotter pins. Always follow the recommendations in this manual - replace these fasteners with
new parts where indicated, and any other time it is deemed necessary by inspection.

= Do not expose any part of the A/C system to high temperatures such as open flame. Excessive heat will increase
system pressure and may cause the system to burst.
= When boost-charging the battery, first remove the fuses for the Engine Control Module (ECM), the Transmission
Control Module (TCM), the ABS control module, and the trip computer. In cases where one or more of these
components is not separately fused, disconnect the control module connector(s).
= Some of the vehicles covered by this manual are equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS), that
automatically deploys an airbag in the event of a frontal impact. The airbag is operated by an explosive device.
Handled improperly or without adequate safeguards, it can be accidentally activated and cause serious personal
injury. To guard against personal injury or airbag system failure, only trained Volkswagen Service technicians
should test, disassemble or service the airbag system.

Cautions & Warnings
= Do not quick-charge the battery (for boost starting) for longer than one minute, and do not exceed 16.5 volts at the

= Never use a test light to conduct electrical tests of the airbag system. The system must only be tested by trained
Volkswagen Service technicians using the VAG 1551 Scan Tool (ST) or an approved equivalent. The airbag unit
must never be electrically tested while it is not installed in the vehicle.
