1 General notes on wheels and tyres
(commercial vehicles)
This information is intended to help you form an opinion as precise
and accurate as possible in cases of tyre damage and other com‐
plaints.
In this chapter you will learn more about tyres and wheels/rims.
Tyres are high-tech products that are especially adapted to the
requirements of modern vehicles.
As with all highly developed technical products, tyres require
proper care, maintenance and service. This is essential to ensure
safety, performance and comfort for the entire service life of the
tyre.
Tyres are constantly being further developed. Quality tyres are
the result of modern design methods and production processes,
as well as continuous quality checks. All tyres that are recom‐
mended by VW have been tested by the technical development
department and have been designed specifically for each model
in collaboration with the tyre manufacturers.
We therefore recommend fitting only the recommended tyre
makes when renewing tyres.

2 Legislative and technical conditions

for converting wheel and tyre combi‐
nations
2.1 Legislative conditions for converting

wheel and tyre combinations
The manufacturer is issued with a general operating permit (GTA
in accordance with § 20 StVZO (German road traffic and licensing
regulations) and EU operating permit) for the overall vehicle with
all parts for specific conversions.
Conversions of wheels and tyres can only be carried out under
certain conditions. When doing this, the following points must be
observed:
♦ If the size of wheel and tyre, with an indication of the load index
and the speed symbol, is included in the vehicle GTA and EU
operating permit/type approval ⇒ page 6 , this wheel and
tyre combination can be fitted on the vehicle without any prob‐
lem.
It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination specified
in the registration certificate part I (certificate of registration) to be
fitted. All combinations approved in the vehicle GTA or EU oper‐
ating permit/type approval ⇒ page 6 may be fitted to the
vehicle.
♦ There is no general type approval according to § 22 StVZO for
the modifications recommended by Volkswagen AG (see at‐
tachment or Appendix 2 to Parts Certificate).
♦ Unless the wheels and/or tyres are included in the relevant
vehicle GTA or EU operating permit/type approval, the vehicle
will no longer meet the requirements of the road traffic regu‐
lations if converted. AG. Volkswagen n AG do

2. Legislative and technical conditions for converting wheel and tyre combinations
• Tubeless radial tyres may only be fitted to rims with a safety

hump feature on the shoulder.
• If the wheel and tyre combinations listed are used, the asso‐
ciated tyre inflation pressures must be adhered to. The tyre
inflation pressure for summer tyres can be found on the sticker
on the inside of the tank flap or in the tables of the individual
vehicles.
• Sufficient clearance to the wheels and tyres at parts of the
wheel housing, suspension and braking system is assured if
the notes and specifications established in the parts certificate
are observed in all operating conditions.
• Unless otherwise stated, snow chains may only be fitted to the
drive wheels.
• The same sized wheels and tyres must be used at the front
and rear of the vehicle. On vehicles with all-wheel drive, tyres
must be of the same manufacturer and have the same tread
profile.

♦ No longer serves to document temporary vehicle deregistra‐
tion. The vehicle and body type specified under number 1 in
the old vehicle documents will not exist in the future. In the new
documents, this will be replaced by standardised EU vehicle
classes with body type.
Introduction of the new registration documents will lead to barely
any changes for the vehicle operator.
Like the old certificate of registration, the registration certificate
part I (certificate of registration) must be kept in the vehicle and
submitted to responsible persons on request.
It is not necessary for the wheel and tyre combination specified
in the registration certificate part I (certificate of registration) to be
fitted. All combinations approved according to the general vehicle
type approval or EU type approval ⇒ page 6 may be fitted.
The validity of a wheel and tyre combination which deviates from

3.2 COC document (EEC Certificate of Con‐

formity)
Since 1 June, 2004, vehicle manufacturers must apply for an EU
operating permit.
A certificate is produced on the basis of this operating permit - the
COC (Certificate of Conformity).
This document certifies that the vehicle complies with the EU op‐
erating permit (EU type approval) and can be registered in every
EU country without an individual type approval.
The document will be issued for all vehicles that comply with the
EU operating permit.
These vehicles have an EU type plate (black sticker) in the area
of the driver's door, or in the case of older vehicles, in the engine
compartment.
The COC document has the same value as the registration docu‐
ment and therefore the original should not be carried on the
vehicle.
The COC document contains the EU general type approval num‐
ber and detailed technical information on the vehicle such as
emissions classification and all the permitted wheel and tyre com‐
binations.

4.1.3 Speed ratings for tyres

The speed rating (e.g. „T“) following the size of the tyre (e.g.
185/65 R 14 86T)) indicates the maximum permitted speed
(vmax) of the tyre.
The tyres for the vehicle must be selected so that their maximum
permitted speed is greater than the maximum speed that the ve‐
hicle („based on model“) can attain.
Vehicles with national type approval
If the vehicle has a national type approval, the maximum speed
for the vehicle is calculated as follows:
Formula for vehicles with vmax up to 150 km/h
vmax = 1.03 x v + 3.5 km/h ⇒ page 12
Example: specified maximum speed v = 145 km/h

AG.
• dry,

• ventilated
in the tyre storage room.
WARNING
Stored tyres must not come in contact with fuel, oil, grease or
chemicals under any circumstances. Otherwise, the material
in the tyre will be damaged by chemical reactions which are
not always visible.
As a result, dangerous situations can occur when the car is
driven.
Of course, tyre damage occurs only if the tyre is in contact with

the chemical for a relatively long time. If a few drops of fuel land
on a tyre during a fill up, this is of no concern.
Storing the tyres
Complete wheels
Tyres mounted on wheels can be stored flat, stacked one upon
the other. In this case, it is important to ensure that the tyres are
clean and dry. The inflation pressure should be increased to a
maximum of 3 bar.
Tyres without wheels
Tyres without wheels are best stored standing vertically. If tyres
are stacked for a long period of time, they will be pressed together
quite considerably. The tyres will then be more difficult to fit, as
they do not sit on the rim shoulders. If tyres are stored standing
vertically, it is recommended to turn them every 14 days to avoid
flat spots.

4.1.6 Tyre ageing

Tyres age as a result of physical and chemical processes, which
can impair the function of the tyres. Tyres which are stored for
longer periods of time harden and become brittle faster than tyres
which are constantly in use on a vehicle. Older tyres may develop
hairline cracks as a result of ageing. When tyres are in regular
use, the constant flexing activates softeners in the rubber, pre‐
venting hardening and the development of cracks.
It is therefore important to take into account not only the tread
depth, but also the age of spare tyres, stored tyres and tyres which
are not permanently in use. The tyre age can be determined from
in the DOT designation, which includes the production date of the
tyre.

4.1.7 Tyres with flange protection

The tyre industry produces tyres with flange protection for alloy
wheels. The flange protection is intended to protect alloy wheels
from damage due to contact with kerbs.
The combination of tyres with flange protection, steel wheels and
a full-size hub cap can lead to the loss of the hub cap during op‐
eration. The flexing of the tyre separates the hub cap from its seat.
WARNING
When fitting tyres, always make sure that only tyres without
flange protection are fitted to steel rims.

on all wheels.
If the vehicle is equipped with rims other than the factory-fitted
rims, you must take the following into consideration when you fit
winter tyres:
♦ Wheels and wheel bolts are matched.
♦ Whenever the wheels are changed, corresponding wheel bolts
of the correct length and with the correctly shaped tapered

seats are used 1). The secure fit of the wheels and the func‐
tioning of the brakes depends this.
♦ The suitability of winter tyres with less than 4…5 mm tread
depth for winter operation is limited.
♦ Some countries require winter tyres to have a tread depth of
at least 4 mm.
♦ We recommend that winter tyres be replaced after no more
than six years. The special „winter properties“ of these tyres
decline with age, regardless of how much they are used.
Tyre pressure for winter tyres
The tyre pressure for winter tyres must be 0.2 bar more than the
applicable tyre pressure for standard tyres but not more than
3.5 bar.
Registration regulations in the Federal Republic of Germany
Only when winter tyres are in use may the top speed that a vehicle
can achieve be greater than the maximum speed specified by the
speed symbol of the tyre.
In this case, a label stating the following must be attached:
Important! Winter tyres!
Maximum speed … km/h
Note
This label must be clearly visible to the driver!
1) A spherical cap is the curved surface of a section of a sphere cut by a plane.

4.2.2 Requirements to be met by tyres

A - Wet braking properties
B - Driving comfort
C - Steering accuracy
D - Driving stability
E - Tyre weight
F - Life expectancy
G - Rolling resistance
H - Aquaplaning
The pie chart illustrates to what extent the tyre meets the various
requirements. The tyre in this example (with its specific structure
and rubber composition) would meet the requirements listed
above (A to H) to the extent indicated by the size of the segments
of the pie.
Improving one of the characteristics will have a negative effect on
one of the others.
Example:
An improvement in wet braking properties -A- leads to a reduction
in driving comfort -B-, rolling resistance -G- and life expectancy
-F-.
The life expectancy of passenger vehicle tyres does not just de‐
pend on the rubber composition and design of a tyre. The condi‐
tions for use, the vehicle-specific circumstances and driving style
have a heavy influence on the service life of a tyre.
Modern vehicles enable comfortable and economic driving, but
also a more "sporty" driving style. A tyre life of 5,000 to 40,000
km or more is possible.

Diagrams 1 and 2 show that the tread on a new tyre wears faster
than that on a heavily used tyre. As the wear curve is not linear,
it is not possible to estimate the tyre service life on the basis of
wear after the first 5,000 km.
On front-wheel drive vehicles, the front tyres not only have to
transmit the steering and driving forces, but also the greater part
of the lateral and braking forces. This causes the front tyres on
front-wheel drive vehicles to wear much faster than the rear tyres.
Even tyre wear can be achieved by swapping (interchanging) the
front and rear wheels on a regular basis. Rotating wheels
⇒ page 53 .
4.2.7 Evenly worn tyres

The requirements to be met by tyres are increasing continuously.
This is caused by the following factors:
♦ greater vehicle weight
♦ high speeds
♦ high level of vehicle safety
Greater loads on the tyre will, of course, lead to an increase in
tyre wear.
Driving style has a critical effect on tyre wear. For this reason,
customer claims regarding tyre wear on evenly worn tyres are not
covered by the warranty.
The effective service life of a tyre can be determined only when
the remaining tread depth has reached 2 mm (see diagrams
⇒ page 21 ).

4.2.8 Measuring tread depth
Note
♦ The tread depth is measured in the main tread channels.

♦ Do not measure at the TWIs (Tread Wear Indicators).
Measure the tread depth in the main tread channel, at the points
where the tyre is worn most heavily. The position of the TWIs can
be seen at various points on the shoulder of the tyre
⇒ Item 15 (page 9) .
A „Δ“ or the manufacturer's „logo“ may appear in the place of
„TWI“.
The bars of the TWI have a height of 1.6 mm. This is the minimum
tread depth required by German law.
Different values may apply in other countries.

Increased one-sided wear

One-sided wear, usually in conjunction with signs of scuffing on
the ribs of the tread and in the fine grooves, always occurs when
the tyres have been allowed to roll with an extreme tyre slip angle,
causing them to »rub« on the road surface.
Driving fast on a stretch of road with lots of curves will cause in‐
creased wear, in particular on the outer shoulder.
A rounded outer shoulder on the tyre in conjunction with a partic‐
ularly high degree of wear on the outer tread blocks indicates fast
cornering. This wear pattern is influenced by driving style.
To optimise handling, the suspension is set to specified toe-in and
camber values. Increased one-sided wear can be expected if
tyres are allowed to roll under conditions which differ from those
specified.
One-sided wear is especially likely if the toe and camber have not
been set correctly. Moreover, there is a greater risk of diagonal . Volkswage

Distance between front of wheels -A- is less than distance be‐

To prevent one-sided wear, care must be taken to ensure that the
wheel is set within the tolerance specified by the vehicle manu‐
facturer. The most frequent deviation of the wheel alignment is
caused by external influences, for example hard contact with the

♦ Saw tooth formation is a normal wear pattern, particularly if the

driving style is very careful ⇒ page 27 . This can lead to in‐
creased rolling noise, which generally becomes better as the
tread depth decreases. In the event of light saw tooth forma‐
tion or if saw tooth formation is just starting, exchanging the
wheels between axles is normally sufficient. If saw tooth for‐
mation is very pronounced, the wheels have to be changed in
accordance with ⇒ page 27 so their direction of rotation is
reversed.
♦ Some tread patterns may create an impression of premature
wear: if winter tyre sipes or channels in the tread are worn
down, only compact profile blocks without patterns remain,
thus giving the impression of a worn tyre. In this case, the re‐
maining tread depth must be measured in each groove. If this
is at or below the minimum tread depth, the tyre can continue
to be used without restrictions. (In Germany, the minimum is
1.6 mm; it is recommended, and in Austria, required, that win‐
ter tyres that are worn down to 4 mm be used only in summer )

4.2.10 Wear in middle of tyre

This wear pattern is found on the driven wheels of high-perform‐
ance vehicles that are frequently driven long distances at high
speeds.
At high speeds, centrifugal forces cause the tyre diameter to in‐
crease more in the middle of the tread than it does at the shoulder.
This causes drive forces to be transferred to the road surface from
the centre section of the tread.

It usually occurs at one point only, but can also occur at several

Washout occurs almost exclusively on the tyres on the non-driven

on some models, while it poses no problem at all on other models.
The effect is intensified by high toe-in values. Toe-in values in the

If you detect washout, you should fit the wheels on the driven axle,
assuming the washout is identified at an early stage. Deeper
washout cannot be repaired.
Faulty adjustment
If a customer complains of „diagonal wear spots“, the toe adjust‐
ment must be examined. If toe-in is correct, the cause of the
diagonal washout is very probably the tyre itself.
Tyres with diagonal washout caused by incorrectly set axle ge‐
ometry at the wheels are not covered by warranty.
4.3 Tyre noise
4.3.1 General notes on tyre noise

Tyre noise that can be heard by the human ear is caused by vi‐
brations which are transmitted by the air from the source of the
sound to our ears.
Of interest here are the noises caused by certain characteristics
and effects while the tyres are rolling (source of the sound).
The cause of the noise is largely dependent on the combination
of the road surface and tyres.
The structure and material of the road surface will greatly affect
tyre noise. For example, the noise level on a wet road is much
higher than on a dry road.
The pattern of the tyre tread also has a significant influence on
tyre noise. Tyres with transverse grooves at a 90° angle generate
more noise than tyres with grooves running diagonally.
Small tread blocks are unstable. Their highly pronounced defor‐
mation agitates the air as the tyres roll. This creates the air
vibrations that cause tyre noise.
Wider tyres are louder. They need more tread channels to dis‐
place water. When they are rolling, these tread channels displace
the air, also creating air vibrations.

Further effects that also influence tyre noise:

♦ „Tyre vibration“ is the principal cause of tyre noise. It is caused
by the columns of air in the tread channels being agitated.

The widths of the tyre and the rim, among other things, influence

tyre noise. Due to their larger contact area, wider tyres will cause
t to the co
more tyre noise than narrow tyres, as more air has to be displaced
and more „mass“ is agitated to create vibrations.
rrectness of i
A wider wheel rim will also cause a tyre to have a wider contact
patch. The effect on tyre noise is thus very similar to that of a wider
l purpos
tyre. Moreover, the damping characteristics of the tyre may also

be adversely affected by the wider wheel rim.

by lksw
cted agen
Prote AG.

New tyres are more susceptible to saw-tooth wear because of the

greater elasticity of the high tread blocks. As the tread depth de‐
creases, the tread blocks become more rigid and the tendency to
wear in a saw-tooth pattern decreases.
Appearance of saw tooth
A - Tread block of a new tyre; seen in direction of motion
-arrow 1-, tread blocks are equally high in front and back.
B - Development of saw teeth; seen in the direction of rotation
-arrow 1-, tread blocks are higher in front than in back -arrow 2-.
C - Seen in the direction of rotation -arrow 1-, tread blocks show
greater wear in the front section of the „saw tooth“ -arrow 3-.
Pronounced saw-tooth wear can lead to customers complaining
about tyre noise.
Pronounced saw-tooth wear occurs under the following condi‐
tions:
♦ toe values are too high
♦ tyre pressures are incorrect
♦ tread is coarse and open
♦ tyres are fitted on the non-driven axle
♦ very fast cornering.
non-directional tyres
In the event of saw-tooth wear, the direction of rotation of the tyre
must be reversed. If saw-tooth wear is especially pronounced and
tyre noise is increased, interchange the tyres diagonally. This will
reduce the saw-tooth effect. gen AG

– Bolt the wheel to the vehicle.

– First hand-tighten the lowest wheel bolt to about 30 Nm.
– Then tighten the remaining wheel bolts diagonally to about

– Lower vehicle onto its wheels.

– Now use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel bolts to the

specified torque in diagonal sequence.
Carry out road test
– After balancing the wheels and tyres, carry out a road test.
If you detect vibration during the road test, it may be due to tol‐
erance in the wheel centring.
In unfavourable circumstances, the component tolerances of
wheels and hubs could cumulate. This too can lead to vibration.
This can be alleviated using a finish balancer. ⇒ page 32
4.4.5 Vibration control system -VAS 6230-

Using the vibration control system -VAS 6230 A- you can perform
more functions than just stationary balancing.
A special feature of this system is the testing of the radial force of
the wheel and tyre while rolling.
A roller presses against the wheel with a force of about 635 kg.
This simulates the vertical tyre force against the road surface
during travel.
Radial and lateral runout in the wheel and tyre and differences in
the stiffness of the tyre cause the vertical force of the wheel to
vary.
The vibration control system -VAS 6230 A- detects and stores the
position of the maximum measured radial force in the tyre. wageThen

4.4.10 Matching
General
When radial or lateral runout of the wheel and tyre coincide, the
imbalance of the wheel is amplified by the tyre.
For technical reasons, 100% true running is not possible
⇒ page 33 .
Before match mounting the used wheels which are fitted on the
vehicle, run the tyres warm. This will eliminate any flat spots
caused by storage or handling, ⇒ page 36 .
Procedure for match mounting
– Deflate the tyre.
– Press the tyre beads off the rim flanges.
– Coat the tyre bead all round with tyre fitting paste .
– Rotate the tyre 180° relative to the wheel.
– Inflate the tyre to approx. 4 bar.
– Mount the wheel with tyre on the wheel balancer.
– Check true running, that is, radial and lateral runout.

Note
♦ If the specified values for radial and lateral runout are not ex‐
ceeded, the wheel can be balanced to 0 gram. Specified
values appear on ⇒ page 33 .
♦ If the radial and lateral runout is not within the specifications,
the tyre must be rotated again.
– Deflate the tyre and press off the tyre beads from the rim
flanges.
– Rotate the tyre 90° relative to the wheel (1/4 of a turn).
– Inflate the tyre to 4 bar again and check true running.
Note
♦ If the specified values for radial and lateral runout are not ex‐
ceeded, the wheel can be balanced to 0 gram.
♦ If the radial and lateral runout are not within the specified val‐
ues, the tyre must be rotated again.
– Press the tyre off the rim flanges again as described above.
– Rotate the tyre 180° relative to the wheel (half a turn).

4.5.1 General
Perform a road test to determine whether a vehicle is pulling to
one side and if so, which side. If the vehicle pulls to one side
⇒ page 39 .
When wheel alignment is checked, include the wheel alignment
test results in tyre complaint report.
Manufacturer's tolerances can lead to a slight amount of taper
(asymmetry) in the tyre carcass. The rolling tyre then develops a
lateral force which acts directly on the wheel suspension, leading

to self-steering of the vehicle. Strategic rotation of the wheels can

balance out this self-steering behaviour.
4.5.2 Conicity
Conicity is caused by a slight offset of the tread and/or the belt
(amounting to a few tenths of a millimetre) relative to the geo‐
metric centre of the tyre. Taper is not visible and cannot be
measured with equipment available in the workshop.

The offset produces differences in stiffness at the inner and outer

shoulders of the tyre, resulting in differing vertical wheel forces.
Consequently the belt or tread will not be pressed onto the road
surface with the same force (F1, F2). A conical, or tapered, shape

ces which make themselves noticeable through more or less
strong lateral forces (conicity forces). These forces can also occur
in new tyres.
Pulling to one side on front axle
Pulling to one side can be caused by the running gear. However,
experience shows that in 90% of all complaints, the tyres cause
pulling to one side.
Pulling to one side during normal driving
On a straight, level road surface, the vehicle wants to pull to one
side at a constant speed or with moderate acceleration. Force can
be felt at the steering wheel.
Pulling to one side during fast acceleration
Pulling to one side during fast acceleration is, in part, due to the
basic design of vehicles with front wheel drive. Different friction
levels at the left and right wheels or possible irregularities in the
road surface (potholes) and consequently varying road adhesion
have a substantial influence on the handling characteristics. This
does not constitute a complaint which is covered by the warranty.
4.5.3 Remedies when vehicle pulls to one

side
Test conditions before and during the road test:
– Check all suspension components on the front and rear axles
for damage.
– Check tyre pressure and correct if necessary.
– Check the tyres for external damage. Punctures, cuts, bubbles
on the sidewalls, flat spots from braking and/or damage to the
tread.
– Ask the customer if the tyre had been damaged by a nail or
similar object and was repaired by a tyre dealer. It may be
necessary to renew such tyres.

– Check tyres for even wear and tread depth.

– Are all tyres of the same type, manufacture and tread pattern?
– If the tyres are non-directional, ensure that all DOT classifica‐
tions on the tyre face outwards. The wheels and/or tyres on
the vehicle may have already been changed around at an ear‐
lier date.
– Is the make of tyre approved by the factory as original equip‐
ment?
– Perform the road test on a road that is straight and even, has
no "tram lines" (indents from heavy traffic) or adverse camber.
– Perform the road test with the customer under the conditions
specified above. Ask the customer to demonstrate the prob‐
lem.

A swelling in the sidewall of the tyre indicates that the carcass in

Typical causes for such damage include, for example, driving

over kerbs at a sharp angle.
Pinching the tyre in this way can damage the carcass.
The substructure of the tyre is stretched so far that individual fi‐
bres in the carcass may be broken.
The extent of the damage depends on the speed of impact, the
angle of impact, the tyre pressure, the axle load and the type of
obstacle.

4.6.6 Loss of air from tyre
co Vo
by lksw

Prote AG.
If the customer complains of a loss of air from a tyre, it is essential
that you check for embedded foreign bodies.
Note
No repair should be attempted on a steel belted tyre of which the

structure has been punctured by a foreign body.
Corrosion can develop on the steel wires. This will always lead to
the separation of the rubber from the steel belt.
Generally, one cannot determine when the foreign body was em‐
bedded. The tyre structure may already have been damaged as
a result of driving with insufficient tyre pressure.
Damaged belt wires will sooner or later lead to separation of the
rubber from the steel belt. As a result, the tyre can fail completely
at some point long after the tyre was first damaged.
Tyre damage caused by foreign bodies is not covered by the war‐
ranty.
4.6.7 Tyre pressure

The tyre pressure must be checked regularly. We recommend
checking the tyre pressure every two weeks. The correct tyre
pressure is especially important on long trips or when carrying a

heavy load. A sporty driving style also requires correct or even

slightly increased tyre pressure.
Slow loss of tyre pressure
The slow loss of tyre pressure is especially problematic because
even experienced drivers often do not notice it.. Volkswage

Insufficient tyre pressure and the yrelated

Tyres with wide, circumferential furrows near the bead

Wide, circumferential furrows near the bead -arrows- indicate that
the tyre was driven with insufficient pressure.
Driving a vehicle with insufficient tyre pressure or ignoring or not
recognising tyre damage can have serious consequences.
The tyre can no longer withstand the forces which develop when
the vehicle is driven.
The defects mentioned above severely restrict the function of the
tyre. The rubber compounds separate, which results in the partial
separation of tyre components or even its complete destruction.

Tyre with stripped tread or stripped protector

Such damage usually develops over a longer period of time. If an
already damaged tyre is exposed to high stress, the centrifugal
forces which occur at high speeds can tear components off the
tyre.
The figure shows a tyre with stripped protector due to travel with
insufficient tyre pressure.

4.6.10 Tyre damage due to fitting error (fitting

damage)
Bead core broken during tyre inflation.
Modern radial tyres for passenger cars are mounted only on safe‐
ty rims. Safety rims have a hump -1- running along the bead seat.
1- Hump (double hump H 2)
2- Wheel rim flange
3- Inner rim shoulder (e.g. tapered rim shoulder)
4- Rim
5- Wheel
6- Well
7- Outer rim shoulder (e.g. tapered rim shoulder)
The hump prevents the tyre from being pressed out of the rim
shoulder during travel with insufficient tyre pressure.
When the tyre is inflated, the bead of the tyre may not slip com‐
pletely over the outer rim hump.
In this case, there is a danger of the bead core becoming over‐
stretched if the tyre pressure is too high. The steel wires would
then rupture partially or completely. A broken bead core cannot
be detected from the outside.
WARNING
♦ Tyres with damaged bead cores are not seated safely and
securely on the rim. Such tyres are a safety risk!
♦ In addition, there is a risk of the n Apartly

4.7.3 Split rim composite wheels

Split rim alloy wheels consist of several parts.
The major parts are the rim and the wheel centre. These parts are
bolted together with special bolts using a special process. This
ensures that the wheel works properly, that it is sealed and safe
and that it runs true. These requirements are not guaranteed with
workshop materials and under workshop conditions.
WARNING
You must not dismantle or repair composite wheels!
4.7.4 Half dual spacing and wheel offset

♦ „Half dual spacing (HMA)“ refers to twin wheels and defines
dimension -A- from the centre of the rim to the outer wheel
contact surface.
♦ „Wheel offset (ET)“ is dimension -B- from the centre of the rim
of the rim to the hub-sided contact surface of the wheel.

4.7.7 The valve

1- Valve body
2- Valve core
3- Valve cap
1. Valve body
The rubber valve for tubeless tyres is designed to create an air-
tight seal in the hole in the rim. The elastic material of the rubber
valve body presses tightly into the hole in the rim.
WARNING
Do not damage surface of wheel rim when removing rubber

valve (scratching/cuts on paint). On steel wheels in particular,
even the smallest notches in this area may lead to corrosion,
hairline cracks or functional impairment of the component.
In the case of valves with a threaded metal base, a rubber seal is

used to seal the rim. The lateral faces of the rim hole are sealing
surfaces. They must therefore be free of rust and dirt and must
not be damaged.
2. Valve core
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
flat seal on the valve core can only function correctly if it is free of
foreign particles, dirt and moisture. The compressed air system
must be free of water and oil!
3. Valve cap
A valve cap must always be screwed onto the valve. 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 tyre is inflated
and cause a leak. olksw AG. V agen AG

WARNING
Perform the checks and follow the instructions listed below.

This is important to ensure that the wheel bolts and the wheels
are properly secured.
– Check to ensure that contact surfaces -arrows- on brake disc

or drum are free of corrosion and dirt.
– Check to ensure that contact surface -arrow- on centring seat

of brake disc are free of corrosion and dirt.

– Check to ensure that contact surface -arrow- on inner side of

wheel (rim) and also centring seat of rim are free of corrosion
and dirt.
– The concave seats * in the holes for the wheel bolts and the
threads of the wheel bolts must also be free of corrosion and
dirt, oil or grease.
*The concave seat is the curved surface of a section of a sphere
cut by a plane.
– Check whether the wheel bolts can be easily screwed in by

hand. The thread of the wheel bolts must not come into contact
with the bore in the brake disc -arrow-.
If the thread of the wheel bolt touches the hole -arrow-, turn the
brake disc relative to the wheel hub accordingly.
Remove dirt and corrosion, oil or grease from the contact surfa‐
ces, threads in the wheel hub and/or wheel bolts as necessary.

80 km/h“ or „MAX 50 mph“

Note
♦ Instead of a spare wheel of this kind, vehicles may have a

spare wheel with the sticker described above (depending on
equipment level).
♦ The spare wheel or temporary spare wheel is intended only
for temporary use over short distances. Therefore, it must be
replaces by a normal wheel as quickly as possible.
♦ After the temporary or spare wheel has been fitted, the tyre
pressure must be checked as soon as possible. The correct
tyre pressure can be gleaned from the tyre pressure table in
the respective vehicle or the relevant maintenance manual.
♦ Always observe the speed warning on the temporary spare
wheel („MAX 80 km/h“ or „MAX 50 mph“).
♦ Full acceleration, hard braking and driving fast through curves
should be avoided.
♦ Never drive with more than one spare wheel or temporary
spare wheel.
♦ The use of snow chains on the temporary spare wheel is not
permitted for technical reasons.
♦ If it is necessary to travel with snow chains, the temporary
spare wheel must be fitted on the rear axle even if the front
tyre has been damaged. The wheel that is now free should be
fitted in place of the defective front wheel.

General
Volkswagen vehicles are built according to the latest findings in
safety engineering. To keep it that way, we recommend the use
of only genuine Volkswagen spare parts. This can be recognised
by way of the VW/Audi logo and the part number. It has been
established that these parts are reliable, safe and suitable.
Despite constant appraisal of the market, we cannot assess other
products on these points, even when in isolated cases they have
been passed by official inspectors or have been granted official
approval. Therefore, we cannot, of course, assume any liability if
these products are installed.
