1.1 General information
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. These can be recog‐
nised by the VW Audi logo and by 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.
Note
♦ The products from Volkswagen genuine parts and Volkswa‐
gen genuine accessories may differ in fitting requirements,
torque specifications and so on.
♦ Observe specified torques for wheel bolts.
♦ Observe assembly and operating instructions.
The wheel and tyre combinations or changes listed in the vehicle
tables refer exclusively to Volkswagen Genuine wheels. Approval
of wheel and tyre combinations or a change to wheels from the
accessories trade is not possible with the certificate statement
attached here.
Notes regarding the recommended tyres
♦ Tyres are one of the most important elements in motor vehicle
construction and have a major influence on road safety. There‐
fore, they must fulfil numerous conditions which are specified
for tyre manufacturers in the DIN (German industrial stand‐
ards) and the directives of the German rubber industry e. V.
(W.d.K.). In addition, comprehensive testing is carried out at
Volkswagen before tyres are approved for initial fitting on our
vehicles.
♦ The following lists all tyre makes and tread patterns that are
fitted to VW vehicles ex-factory, correct at the time of publica‐
tion.
♦ These tyre makes and tread patterns meet the aforemen‐
tioned demands. We therefore recommend the tyres/tread
types listed in this guide are chosen as replacements.
♦ Bear in mind the special aspects that need to be taken into
account in the case of tyres with emergency running proper‐
ties⇒ Wheels and Tyres Guide - General information; Rep.
gr. 44 ; Tyres with run-flat properties .

♦ The sizes of the winter tyres listed in the table are the most
sensible from the handling and economic aspects. Of course,
all other wheel-and-tyre combinations listed in the COC paper
(EEC Certificate of Conformity) and/or in part I of the registra‐
tion certificate may also be mounted as M&S tyres.
