This chapter contains general information on tires and wheels.
t to the co
Wheels are high-tech products which have been optimally match‐
ed to the operating conditions of modern vehicles.
rrectne
As for all technically highly developed products, careful handling,
care and maintenance are required for tires as well. Only then are
s
the safety, performance and driving comfort guaranteed for the
s o
entire service life of the tire.

The tires are subject to a process of constant further develop‐
mer
ment. As a result of modern construction techniques, finishing

processes, and constant quality checks, high-quality tires are

various operating conditions, such as: cted agen
Prote AG.
• different speed ranges,

• winter and summer use,
• wet and dry roads,
an optimal compromise must be found to ensure driver safety.
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 ⇒ Suspension, Wheels, Steer‐
ing; Rep. Gr. 44 .
Note
There are many causes for tire damage and complaints. There‐
fore, it is very important to recognize whether the complaint arises
from the tires or from other components.
The running characteristics of the tire change in the course of

normal wear. Rolling noises and vibrations can result from this.
These are not damage in the sense of tire defects, but rather
symptoms resulting from use. These can be corrected, at least
partially, by specific measures. In certain cases, rolling noise can‐
not be completely eliminated.
Special Models
Special models are only partially included in the tables in supple‐
ment 2 of the parts certificate. The retrofitting possibility for these

The manufacturer is granted general type approval for the whole
vehicle including all parts and for specific retrofitting (general type
approval according to § 20 StVZO (Motor Vehicle Construction
and Use Regulations or EU type approval).
Retrofitting to wheels and tires can only be made under certain
circumstances. The following points must be taken into consid‐
eration:
♦ If the wheel and tires sizes along with the load index and speed
symbol are contained in the general type approval or EU type
approval. Refer to
⇒ “3.2 Certificate of Conformity”, page 7 , then this tire/
wheel combination can be mounted on the vehicle.
It is not necessary to install the wheel/tire combination specified
in the certificate of registration Part I (vehicle registration). All

2.2 Technical Requirements, Retrofitting

Wheel and Tire Combinations
• The wheel and tire combinations or retrofitting listed in the in‐
dividual vehicle tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen original
disc wheels.
• Release of wheel/tire combinations or retrofitting with disc
wheels from the accessories trade is not possible with the en‐
closed parts certificate.
• Tubeless radial tires may only be used with stepped rims with
a bead retaining contour, for example, a round hump.
• Run-flat tires (reinforced sidewall) may only be used on disc
wheels with extended hump and vehicles with a tire pressure
monitoring system. Refer to
⇒ “10.3 Installing/Conditions for Using Run-Flat Tires”,
page 56 .
• The correct tire pressure values must be observed when the
specified wheel and tire combinations are used. Tire pressure
values for summer tires are on the sticker on the inside of the
fuel filler door or in the individual vehicle tables.
• Sufficient clearance between the wheels and tires and the
wheel housing-, suspension- and brake components is ensur‐
ed if the instructions and conditions specified in the parts
certificate are observed under all operating conditions.
• If not otherwise specified, snow chains may be mounted only
on the drive wheels. On all wheeln Adrive

2.5 Vehicles with Plus suspension

The following components of the Plus suspension are different
from the basic suspension:
♦ Control Arm
♦ Ball Joint
♦ Wheel bearing housing
♦ Coupling rod stabilizer (not for Passat)
♦ Driveshaft
♦ Wheel hub
♦ Brake rotor
♦ Brake caliper
♦ Disc Wheel
The Plus suspension can be recognized visually by the ball joint/
wheel bearing housing connection, among other things.
A - Connection ball joint and wheel bearing housing in vehicles
with base suspension
B - Connection ball joint and wheel bearing housing in vehicles
with Plus suspension
The most distinct characteristic are the 5 wheel bolts per wheel.
An exception is the Passat VR6 through 09.93. This vehicle has en AG. V

3.3 Official Type Designation

Passenger cars licensed for road use in Germany need a general
type approval for the issue of a vehicle title document.
Type approval is issued by the Federal Ministry for Transport in
Flensburg after the type inspection. This procedure was permitted
up to 12/31/1997 - and after that in exceptional cases.
In other member states of the European Union (EU), the proce‐
dure for issuing a document similar to the German vehicle title
was different. Each member state could set up a national type
approval according to its own procedures up to 12/31/1997.
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.
Official Type Designation, Sales, Trade Name
In the following table, all VW vehicles which already have EU type
approval are listed in the column "EU type".
All VW vehicles which were granted general type approval ac‐
cording to the procedure valid up to 12/31/97 are listed in the
column "General type".
If entries appear in both columns "General type" and "EU type",
there are vehicles of this model which are approved according to
both the StVZO and the EU guidelines. In this case, it must first
be established what sort of vehicle it is. There are two possibili‐
ties:
3. Documents and Designations 7

1. Possibility
The last page of the vehicle title includes the field “Certified holder
of a general type approval/EEC type approval”. Either the general
or the EU type approval number appears here, if the vehicle title
document is original. This is the case only if the vehicle was not
unregistered in the past for longer than 12 months.
2. Possibility
Check whether the general or the EU type approval number is
entered on the vehicle identification plate.

4.3 Tires, Speed Ratings

The speed symbol (for example, “T”) behind the tire size specifi‐
cation (for example: 185/65 R 14 86T) indicates the maximum
permissible speed (vmax) for the tire.
When selecting the tires for a vehicle, ensure that their maximal
permissible speed lies above the maximum speed attainable by
the vehicle (“design-related”).

4.5 Tires, Storing

Storage room
Tire storage must be:
• dark,
• dry,
• cool and
• ventilated
.
WARNING
Stored tires must not come in contact with fuel, oil, grease or
chemicals under any circumstances. Otherwise, the material
in the tire will be damaged by chemical reactions which are not
always visible.
This may lead to life-threatening situations when the car is
driven.

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-
up, this is harmless.
Tire storage
Complete wheels
Tires mounted on wheels can be stored flat, stacked on one an‐
other. When doing this, always make sure that wheels are clean
and dry. The air pressure should be raised to a maximum of 3 bar
(44 psi). AG. Volkswagen AG do n

4.6 Tires, Aging
wit
is n
h re
ole,
Tires age as a result of physical and chemical processes whereby
spec
the function can be impaired. Tires which are stored for longer
t to the co
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
rrectne
activates softeners in the rubber, preventing hardening and the
development of cracks.
ss
Therefore, one should note not just the tread depth but also the
o
cial p
age of spare tires, stored tires and tires which are not permanently
inform
in use. Tire age can be determined from the DOT code which
mer
contains, among other things, the tire's production date.

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 stability
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 driving behavior.

♦ Tires are constantly being further developed, this can lead, for
example, to slight changes in the rubber compound, even if
the tires are of the same make, size and tread.
♦ All VW vehicles are factory-fitted with four identical tires and
wheels.
FWD vehicles:
♦ For driving safety reasons, tires of the same make and with
the same tread should be mounted on one axle.
AWD vehicles:
♦ Vehicles with AWD always must be equipped with four wheels
that have tires of the same size, construction, tread pattern
and make.
Tires, replacing
Tires must be changed when:
• the legal minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm is reached,
• there is visible damage from mechanical damage,

Note
Driving style is the decisive influencing factor on the life of the

5.3 High Speed Tires, Wear Characteristics

These tires are designed for the highest speeds. Good traction
on wet roads is emphasized when developing these tires. Tread
compounds do not have the abrasion resistance of tires for lower
speeds, such as T and H tires.
Therefore the service life expectancy of high-speed tires is sub‐
stantially lower under comparable operating conditions.
5.4 Tire Service Life, Influences

The following factors influence the service life of a tire in varying
degrees.
Driving style:
♦ Speed. Refer to ⇒ page 22
♦ Braking. Refer to ⇒ page 22
♦ Acceleration. Refer to ⇒ page 22
♦ Driving around curves. Refer to ⇒ page 23

3) A deceleration with 0.4 x g corresponds to strong braking.
III. Accelerating (driving style)

The slip that occurs during a gentle acceleration from a stop is
approximately the same as the slip that occurs at a steady speed
of approximately 100 km/h (62 mph).

Normal acceleration 7–8 5

Slip Abrasion
Acceleration with driving wheels 20 and more 100 – 200
IV. Driving around curves (driving style)

A »sporty« driving style and driving at higher speeds also cause
greater wear when driving around curves.
In practice, this means doubling the speed in a curve leads to an
increased abrasion by a factor of 16. This is the »extra charge«
for driving faster.

As can be seen in diagrams 1 and 2, for a given distance, more
tread wears off tires with a complete tread than off tires which are
quite worn. After the first 5000 km, no conclusion can be made
about the total service life because the wear curve is not linear.
On front-wheel drive vehicles, the front wheels must transmit the
major portion of the lateral and braking forces as well as the
steering and traction forces. Due to these demands, the front tires
on front wheel vehicles wear more quickly than rear tires. Even
usage of all tires is achieved by regularly exchanging front and
rear tires. Refer to ⇒ “13.1 Wheels, Rotating”, page 69 .
5.7 Tire, Uniformly Worn

The demands on the tires increase constantly.
The causes are the following factors:
♦ higher vehicle weight
♦ high speeds
♦ increased vehicle safety
A high load on tires naturally causes high wear.
The driving style has a profound influence on the tire wear. There‐
fore, for complaints about wear when the treads are uniformly
worn, the tires will not be replaced under warranty.
The actual service life of a tire can only be determined when the
tread depth is 2 mm, diagram. Refer to
⇒ Fig. ““Diagram 1:”“ , page 24 .

5.8 Tread Depth, Measuring
Note
♦ When measuring tread depth, take measurements in the main

grooves.
♦ Do not take measurements at the tread wear indicator.
Tread depth of a tire must be measured in the main grooves at

the points showing the most wear. The positions of the tread wear
indicators are visible along the tire shoulder -item 2-
⇒ Item 2 (page 10) .
In place of “TWI”, there may also be a “Δ” or “VW emblem”.
The tread wear indicators are 1.6 mm tall. This is the minimum
tread depth legally prescribed in Germany.
Different values may apply in other countries.
Tread Wear Indicators (TWI) must not be included in the meas‐

urement. The deepest point of the tread groove must be used for
the measurement.

To avoid one-sided tire wear, ensure that the wheel adjustment
remains within the tolerances specified by the vehicle manufac‐
turer. The most common deviation of wheel alignment is caused
by external exposure, 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.

5.11 Tire Wear, Center

This wear pattern is found on drive wheels on high-powered ve‐
hicles that often drive long stretches at high speed.
At high speeds, the centrifugal force increases the tire diameter
at the center of the tread more than at the shoulders of the tire.
The traction power from the center area of the tread are transfer‐
red to the road surface. This is reflected in the wear pattern.
These effects can appear especially extreme on wide tires.

Reducing the tire pressure is not an effective remedy for this wear
pattern.
WARNING
For safety reasons, tire pressure must never be lowered below

specified pressure under any circumstances.
A largely even wear pattern can be achieved if tires are changed

in a timely manner from the tractive to the non-tractive axle.
Increased tread wear
Typical wear pattern of tires on the tractive axle of high-powered
vehicles.
The increased wear at the tread center is caused by stresses re‐
lated to the centrifugal force of the tire and the transmission of
traction forces.

The cause for the noise generation depends primarily on the
combination of road surface and tire.
rrectness of i
The surface structure and road material also have a strong influ‐
ence on the driving noise. For example, the noise level on a wet
l purpos
road is substantially higher than on a dry road.

The design of the tread has a great influence on the noise gen‐

Other effects which also have an influence on noise generation:
co lksw
by
cted agen
Prote AG.
♦ “Tire vibration” is the main cause of driving noise. The noise
is generated by the excitation of the air column in the tread
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 area
than a narrower tire does, because more air is displaced and a
greater “mass” is caused to vibrate.
A wider rim also causes the tire to have a wider contact area. The
effects on noise generation are basically the same as those of a
wider tire. In addition, the damping properties of the tire can, un‐
der certain circumstances, be negatively affected by the wider
rim.
The tire rolling noise is significantly noticeable in the rear of ve‐
hicles with front engines, because wind and engine noise are less
audible in the back.
6.2 Heel and Toe Wear

Heel-and-toe wear is step-like wear of individual tread lugs. Refer
to ⇒ Fig. ““Appearance of heel-and-toe wear”“ , page 31 , due
to which an increased driving noise can develop. The heel-and-
toe wear is caused by the uneven distortion of the tread lugs in

the tire contact area. Heel-and-toe wear appears in more extreme

forms on non-powered wheels than on powered wheels.
New tires have a stronger tendency to heel-and-toe wear, be‐
cause the high tread lugs have greater elasticity. As tread depth
decreases, the rigidity of the tread lugs 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.

6.3 Wear Spots

Wear spots are caused by a hard stop with locked wheels where‐
by the rubber compound is abraded from the contact patch.
When the tires slide across the road surface, frictional heat is
generated which reduces the abrasion resistance on the tread
compound.
Even the most abrasion-resistant tread compound cannot prevent
wear spots which can occur during extreme braking.
Even ABS cannot completely prevent brief locking and the re‐
sulting slightly flat spots.
The degree of abrasion is primarily dependent on the vehicle
speed, road surface and tire load. For clarification see the follow‐
ing examples.
6. Tires, Rolling Noises 31

If a vehicle with locked front wheels is decelerated until it comes

to a stop, the abrasion of rubber on the post card sized contact
patch is approximately

7.1 Vibration Causes
rrectness of i
There are many causes for vibration. Vibration can also be
l purpos
caused by tire wear, among other things. Tire wear caused by

driving does not always develop evenly over the entire tread. Due
to this, a slight imbalance develops which disturbs the smooth‐
nf
ercia
ness of the formerly accurately balanced wheel.
orm
m
atio
This slight imbalance cannot yet be felt in the steering wheel, but
om
it is present. It increases the tire wear and consequently reduces n in

or c

7.2 Balancing
Before beginning balancing, the following requirements must be
fulfilled.
• Tire inflation pressure must be OK.
• The tire tread must not be worn down on one side and should
be at least 4 mm deep.
• The tires must not have any damage such as cuts, holes, for‐
eign bodies, etc.
• The suspension, steering, tie rods and damper must be in
proper working order.
• A road test has been performed.
7.3 Road Test, Performing Before Balanc‐

ing
If a vehicle comes to the workshop with the complaint “vibration”,
a road test must be performed before balancing the wheels.
7. Wheels and Tires, Vibration 33

♦ That way, information about the type of vibration can be ob‐

tained.
♦ Observe at which speed range the disturbance takes place.
– Raise the vehicle on the platform immediately after the road
test.
– Mark the installation position on the tire.

Note
Please keep in mind that cleanliness is the most important when

balancing as well, just as for any other repairs you perform. Only
then can a proper result be obtained!

♦ Working with a Finish Balancer requires instruction from the

manufacturer of the balancer.
♦ For the balancing, the wheels of the tractive axle are set upon
the turntable sensors, for example, front wheels for Front
Wheel Drive (FWD) and all 4 wheels for All Wheel Drive
(AWD).
If it is determined when balancing on the vehicle the remaining

imbalance is more than 20 grams, the wheel should be rotated on
the wheel hub.
– Mark the point at which the imbalance is indicated.
– Afterwards, unbolt the wheel and rotate its position on the
wheel hub so that the marking points downward.
Note
The wheel hub must not turn during this procedure.
– First, tighten the lowest wheel bolt by hand to approximately

30 Nm.

– Tighten the remaining wheel bolts diagonally to approximately

30 Nm. This process centers the wheel properly on the wheel
hub.
– - Check again whether the imbalance is less than 20 grams
using the finish balancer.
Note
The imbalance should not be smaller than 20 grams under any

circumstances before changing balance weight.
– Remove the wheel bolts again if necessary.

– Rotate the wheel relative to the wheel hub once more by one
or two wheel bolt holes.
– Tighten the wheels using the method described above.

Work procedure for match-mounting
– Let the air out of the tire.
– Press the tire beads off the rim flanges.
– Coat the tire beads all around with Tire Mounting Paste .
– Rotate the tire 180° relative to the disc wheel.
– Inflate the tire to approximately 4 bar (58 psi).
– Tension wheel with tire on balancing machine.
– Check the run-out or the radial and lateral run-out, as neces‐
sary.

Note
♦ If the radial and lateral run-out value is not exceeded, the

wheel can be balanced to 0 grams. Specifications are found
on. Refer to ⇒ page 37 .
♦ If the radial and lateral run-out lies outside the specified val‐
ues, the tire must be turned again.
– Let the air out of the tire and press the tire beads off the rim
flanges.
– Rotate the tire 90° (one quarter turn) relative to the disc wheel.
– Inflate the tire to 4 bar (58 psi) and check for true running.
Note
♦ If the radial and lateral run-out value is not exceeded, the

wheel can be balanced to 0 grams.
♦ If the radial and lateral run-out is still outside the specified val‐
ues, the wheel must be turned again.
– Press the tire beads off the rim flanges.

– Rotate the tire 180° (one half turn) relative to the disc wheel.
If the values for radial or lateral run-out are still outside the speci‐

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
⇒ “8.3 Corrective Action When Vehicle Pulls to One Side”,
page 43 .
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 lateral force when the tire rolls, which acts
directly on the suspension and can therefore lead to vehicle self-
steering response. Targeted rotation of the wheels can balance
out this self-steering response.
8.2 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.

agen
Prote AG.
On a straight, level road, 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 road grip
have a substantial influence on the handling characteristics. This
does not constitute a complaint in the sense of warranty cover‐
age.
8.3 Corrective Action When Vehicle Pulls to

One Side
Test conditions before and during the road test
– Check all suspension components on front and rear axle 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. Replace such
tires if necessary.
– Check tires for even wear and tread depth.
8. Vehicle Pulls to One Side 43

– Are all tires of the same type, manufacture and tread pattern?
– If the tires are non-directional, ensure that all DOT names 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, for example, 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

The nylon ply -4-, belt -5-, bead core -6-, and bead reinforcement

of the tire.
9.3 Impact Damage

A swelling in the flank of the tire indicates that the substructure of
the carcass has been damaged.
Typical causes for such damage include, for example, driving
over curbs at a sharp angle.
Pinching the carcass of a tire this way can damage the carcass.
The substructure of the tire is stretched so far that individual fibers
in the carcass may break.
The extent of the damage depends on the speed of impact, the
angle of impact, the air pressure, the axle load and the type of
obstacle.

Damaged belt wires will lead to separation of the rubber from the
steel belt sooner or later. As a result, the tire can fail completely
after a certain running time, long after the tire damage has oc‐
curred.
Tire damage caused by foreign objects is not covered by warran‐
ty.
9.7 Tire Pressure

Air pressure must be checked regularly. It is recommended to
check the tire pressure every 14 days. The correct tire pressure
is especially important during long trips or if a load must be car‐
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
⇒ “9.8 Tires, Damage from Low Tire Pressure”, page 51 .
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.

9.8 Tires, 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‐
sure. Refer to

9.10 Tires, Damage Due to Mounting Error,

Damage from Fitting the Tire
Bead bundle broken during tire inflation
Modern radial passenger car tires are mounted only on safety
rims. These have a hump -1- running along the shoulders.
1- Hump (double hump H 2, extended double hump EH2)
2- Rim flange
3- Inner bead seat (for example, oblique seat)
4- Rim
5- Wheel disc
6- Bed
7- Outer bead seat (for example, oblique seat)
The hump prevents the tire from being pressed out of the bead
seat during travel with insufficient tire pressure.
When the tire is inflated, the tire bead may not slip completely
over the outer rim hump.
In this case, there is the danger that the bead core will be over‐
stretched if the air pressure is too high and the steel wires rupture
partially or completely. Torn bead cores are often not detectable
from outside. wage

9. Tire Damage 53
Tires with broken bead bundle and destroyed carcass

Illustration shows a tire with broken bead bundle and destroyed
carcass caused by an excessive pulling force during fitting.
Bead damage by faulty or incorrect wheel mounting using tire
changers
The following mistakes when fitting tires can lead to severe tire
damage.
♦ When rolling in the upper bead on the tire changer, the op‐
posing tire bead does not lie completely in its bed. Refer to
⇒ page 53 .
♦ When the fitting head was incorrectly adjusted
♦ When the edge of the fitting roller rolls onto the bead
♦ When the guide rollers are worn or have sharp edges
Tire with bead split open

In these cases, the bead, which is under great tension, can be cut
into in the direction of rotation, split open and/or be crushed down
to the bead bundle.
Frequently, mounting and run out marks from the guide rollers are
identified in the damaged area.

10.3 Installing/Conditions for Using Run-Flat

Tires
Caution
Using run-flat tires on Volkswagen vehicles is permitted only if

the run-flat tire is supplied with the vehicle either as standard
equipment or as an option.
Because pressure loss in a run-flat tire is not always visible, these

tires should only be used on vehicles equipped with a tire pres‐
sure monitoring system. This system warns the driver when the
air pressure falls below a certain value.
The following are permitted:
systems that measure directly ⇒ Suspension, Wheels, Steering;
Rep. Gr. 44 ; Tire Pressure Monitoring
systems that measure indirectly ⇒ Suspension, Wheels, Steer‐
ing; Rep. Gr. 44 ; Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator
Only mount run-flat tires on disc wheels with an extended double
hump (extended hump - EH2). Refer to
⇒ “12.1 Disc Wheel Structure”, page 59 .

Read and follow the special assembly instructions ⇒ Suspension,

Wheels, Steering; Rep. Gr. 44 ; Run-Flat Tires, Dismounting and
Mounting .
Do not install both run-flat tires and standard tires, even if the two
tires on each axle will be the same.
A standard tire can only be installed in exceptions for a short time
or a limited driving distance. The specific characteristics designed
for driving with a flat tire will not be available. The driver must be
informed of this.
Always note the recommended tire make. Refer to
⇒ “63 Recommended Summer Tires”, page 722 and. Refer to
⇒ “65 Recommended Winter Tires”, page 766 .

11 Rolling Resistance Tires

Tire deformation when rolling causes the vehicle to loose energy
that makes the rolling resistance noticeable.
Deformation is significantly lowered on rolling resistance tires due
to new construction and low-wear surface mixtures.
Tires installed on the Volkswagen BlueMotion and BlueMotion
Technology are rolling resistant and conform to all safety and
customer relevant properties. . Volkswage n AG n AG d

12.4 Multipart Composite Wheels

Composite wheels consist of various parts.
The primary components are rims and wheel discs. These com‐
ponents are fastened to each other with special screws and a
special procedure. This ensures the wheel's function, proper seal,
safety and true running. These important requirements cannot be
guaranteed under shop conditions and using shop tools.

In particular, road salt and dust from brake abrasion must be
thoroughly washed off every two weeks. Otherwise, the paint of
the light alloy wheel will be attacked.
Cleaning agent
The following are appropriate cleaning agents:
♦ Water or water and soft soap
♦ Water and vinegar essence
♦ Light alloy wheel cleaning agents without acids or harsh sol‐
vents
Do not exceed the soaking time of the cleaning agent.

The shorter the specified soaking time is, the stronger and more
aggressive the cleaning solution is.
Paint damage
Fix paint damage as soon as possible. Refer to
⇒ “12.9 Light Alloy Wheels, Preparing”, page 67 .
Removing adhesive residue from glued balance weights on light
alloy rims
♦ Harsh solvents and acids attack the paint on alloy wheels and
the surface of the wheel becomes matte and milky. These
agents therefore must not be used.
♦ To remove adhesive residue on alloy wheels, use alloy wheel
cleaners or cleaning solvents. Do not exceed the soaking time
of the cleaning agent.
♦ After cleaning or removing adhesive residue on the tires, they
must be rinsed again with water.

12.10 Rubber Valve

1- Valve body
2- Valve Insert
3- Valve cap
1. 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.
2. Valve Insert
The valve insert 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 insert can only do its job when it is free of
impurities, dirt, and moisture. The air charge system must be free
of water and oil!
3. 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 can therefore lead to the destruction of the tire.
