Information about Recommended Tires

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Arteon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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 manufacturer guidelines must be fulfilled. In addition, extensive tests are performed by Volkswagen before the tires are approved for original equipment on our vehicles.
All tire makes/treads, with which VW vehicles are equipped at the factory at the time this guide edition was published, are listed in the allocations for the recommended tires.
These tire makes/treads fulfill the specified requirements. We therefore recommend using the tire makes/treads recommended in this guide when equipping vehicles with new tires.
Pay attention to the important notes regarding run-flat tires. Refer to OVERVIEW - RADIAL PLY TIRE .
The winter tire sizes listed in the tables are the most sensible in terms of dynamic and economical driving. In principle, all other wheel/tire combinations listed in the Certificate of Conformity or in the certificate of registration Part I can be installed as M & S tires.
