Volkswagen tyre tips
- 4Motion versions of the Tiguan and Touareg need matched tread depth on all four tyres to protect the Haldex or centre differential.
- The Golf GTI on 18-inch tyres rewards a performance tyre such as the Pilot Sport 5 or Continental SportContact.
- The Teramont is a large seven-seater; use XL tyres and keep pressure at the loaded figure for family trips.

When to replace the tyres
Small hatchbacks often get 45,000–60,000 km from a set because they are light, but many are driven short distances and reach five years first. Hot hatches on performance tyres usually need fronts every 25,000–35,000 km.
Small hatchbacks typically need a load index of 79–88 with a T or H speed rating. Larger and sporty hatchbacks such as the Golf and Mini Cooper S use 91–94 with V or W ratings, often XL. Mini models fitted with run-flats are marked RSC, RFT or SSR on the sidewall.
