Technical Requirements, Retrofitting Wheel And Tire Combinations

The wheel and tire combinations or retrofittings listed in the individual vehicle tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen original disc wheels.
Release of wheel/tire combinations or retrofittings with disc wheels from the accessories trade is not possible with the enclosed approval certificate.
Tubeless radial tires may only be used with stepped rims with a bead retaining contour, e.g. 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 INSTALLING/CONDITIONS FOR USING RUN-FLAT TIRES .
The correct tire inflation pressure values must be observed when the specified wheel and tire combinations are used. The tire inflation pressure values for summer tires are shown on the sticker on the inside of the fuel tank flap or in the individual vehicle tables.
Sufficient clearance between the wheels and tires and the wheel housing, suspension and brake components is ensured if the instructions and conditions specified in the approval certificate are observed under all operating conditions.
If not otherwise specified, snow chains may be mounted only on the drive wheels. Only the front wheels on all wheel drive vehicles and also the back wheels on the Touareg are equipped with snow chains.
