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.
Common factory tyres on Volkswagen: Continental, Bridgestone, Hankook, Michelin, Pirelli.

When to replace the tyres
Expect 40,000–60,000 km from a set on a front-wheel-drive sedan with regular rotation, and replace at around five years regardless of tread. Front tyres wear faster, so rotating every 8,000–10,000 km makes a real difference.
Most sedans need a load index of 88–98 and a speed rating of H (210 km/h) or V (240 km/h). Larger sedans on 18 inch wheels often specify 94W or 95V XL. Always match or exceed the figures on the door placard.
