1 General notes on wheels and tyres
(passenger cars)
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 a great deal about tyres, but also
about wheels and rims.
Tyres are hi-tech products that are optimally adapted to the op‐
erating conditions 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 VW approved tyres en AGhave

is therefore very important that one determines whether the prob‐
lem has been caused by the tyre or by other components.
Normal wear and tear on a tyre will alter its characteristics. Tyre
noise and vibration could then be the result. These are indications
of wear and do not constitute damage in the sense of a tyre defect.
You can take measures to eliminate the symptoms at least to
some degree. However, in some cases it may not be possible to
eliminate tyre noise completely.
1. General notes on wheels and tyres (passenger cars) 1

1.1 Legal conditions for changing wheel and

tyre combinations
The manufacturer is granted general type approval for the whole
vehicle including all parts and for specific modifications (general
certification according to § 20 StVZO – German Motor Vehicle
Construction and Use Regulations – or EC type approval).
The wheels and tyres may be changed only under certain cir‐
cumstances. The following points must be taken into considera‐
tion:
♦ If the wheel and tyre sizes are listed with information about
load index and speed rating in the vehicle papers, these wheel
and tyre combinations can be mounted on the vehicle without
further action.
♦ If a general type approval according to § 22 StVZO with § 20
StVZO („parts type approval“) has been granted for the mod‐
ification without restriction, a copy must be kept in the vehicle.
If this modification is entered in the vehicle documents, there
is no need to keep the „parts type approval“ in the vehicle.
♦ If general type approval for the modification has been granted
according to § 22 StVZO in conjunction with § 20 StVZO
(„parts type approval“) with restrictions, then it must be as‐
sessed and confirmed by an officially recognised expert or
inspector for motor traffic or an inspection engineer from an
officially recognised inspection organisation.
♦ There is no general type approval according to § 22 StVZO for
the modifications approved by AG. Volkswagen AG dAG (see parts

in Flensburg following type inspection. This procedure was per‐

mitted through 31.12.1997 and, in exceptional cases, even after
that.
Other member states of the European Union (EU) have different
procedures for issuing a document similar to the German title
document. Through 31.12.1997, each member state was entitled
to issue its own national type approvals according to its own pro‐
cedures.
Since 1.1.1998, all passenger cars licensed within the European
Union must have a type approval corresponding to EU guidelines
⇒ page 3 . Vehicles licensed for road use with single-vehicle
approval according to § 21 StVZO in Germany are excepted.
This means the same guidelines apply to all vehicle manufactur‐
ers. This makes it easier to trade across national borders within
the EU.
1.3.1 Official type, sales or trade designation

In the following table, all VW vehicles which already have EU type
approval are listed in the column "EU type".
All VW vehicles which were granted type approval according to
the procedure valid up to 31.12.97 are listed in the column "Gen‐
eral type"
If entries appear in both columns "General type" and "EU type",
there exist vehicles of this model which are approved according
to both the StVZO and the EU guidelines. In this case, one must
first establish what sort of vehicle one has. There are two possi‐
bilities:
1st possibility
The last page of the vehicle title includes the field „Certified holder
of a general type approval/EEC type approval“. Either the general
type approval number of the EU type approval number is entered
here, assuming it is the original vehicle title document. This is the

case only if the vehicle was not deregistered in the past for longer
than 12 months.
2nd possibility
Check whether the general type approval number or the EU type
approval number is entered on the vehicle identification plate.

1.4.3 Speed ratings for tyres

The speed rating (e.g. "T") following the size of the tyre (e.g.
185/65 R14 14 „T“) 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 6
Example: Stated maximum speed v = 145 km/h
vmax = 1.03 x 145 km/h + 3.5 km/h = 152.85 km/h
In this example, a tyre with the speed rating „Q“ or higher must
be used.

1.4.4 „Series 80“ tyres

Tyres of the „80“ series (e.g. 145/80 R 13 74 S) will replace the
„82“ series (e.g. 145/82 R 13 74 S). Lawmakers have stipulated
that „82“ series tyres may be replaced by „80“ series tyres without
having been entered in the vehicle documents.

The condition for this is that the „80“ series tyres have the same
width, be of the same type – cross-ply or radial belted – and have
the same or higher load index.
If only „80“ series tyres are entered in the vehicle documents, „82“
series tyres may only be used if an entry has been made in the
vehicle documents.

The pie chart illustrates to what extent the tyre meets the various
requirements. It shows how the proportions of the requirements
A to H can be distributed according to the construction of the tyre
and the rubber mixture used.
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 a car tyre depends not only on the rubber
composition and design of the tyre. The operating conditions, the
type of vehicle and the style of driving also have a significant in‐
fluence on its mileage performance.
Modern vehicles with the appropriate engine allow a gentle, eco‐
nomical driving style but also an extremely sporty driving style. A
tyre life of 5,000 to 40,000 km or more is possible.
Note
The driving style is the most important factor in determining the

service life of a tyre.

2.1.3 Wear behaviour of high-speed tyres

These tyres are designed for use at high speeds. The main ob‐
jective in the development of this type of tyre is good grip on wet
surfaces. The tread compositions do not have the same wear re‐
sistance as T and H tyres for lower speeds.
The expected life of high-speed tyres is therefore considerably
lower under comparable operating conditions.

2.1.9 One-sided wear

This is often caused by driving style, but can be the result of in‐
correct wheel alignment.

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 certain toe 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
washout. lkswage es n

Running gear modifications
Prote AG.
Using „suspension-lowering kits“ and/or alloy wheels that have

not been approved by VW may result in altered wheel positions
which deviate from the specified alignment.
Even if the axle geometry is correct with the vehicle stationary
during wheel alignment, the changed vehicle height and wheel
positions can cause the wheel suspension to move differently
during operation.
Uneven wear is then unavoidable.
2.1.10 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. This is reflected in the wear pat‐
tern.
Effects of this kind can be especially pronounced on wide tyres.
It is not possible to counter this wear pattern by reducing the tyre
pressure.
WARNING
For reasons of safety, the tyre pressure must not under any
circumstances be reduced below the specified tyre pressure.
A more or less even tread wear pattern can be achieved by ro‐

tating the tyres between the driven wheels and non-driven wheels
in good time.

2.1.11 Diagonal washout

Diagonal washout on a tyre
Diagonal washout runs at an angle of approx. 45° to the circum‐
ference.
It usually occurs at one point only, but can also occur at several
points around the circumference of the tyre.
Washout occurs almost exclusively on the tyres on the non-driven
wheels, in particular at the rear left. Washout occurs very often
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
region of the lower tolerance limits of the specified alignment val‐
ues improve the wear pattern.
The most pronounced diagonal washout is often found in the area
where the tyre components are joined.
Wheels with toe-in also roll with a tyre slip angle when the vehicle
is driven in a straight line. This leads to diagonal strain in the con‐
tact area between the tyres and road surface.
This wear pattern is intensified when tyre pressure is too low. To
avoid such tread wear patterns, the toe-in values of the two rear
wheels should be identical and the specified tyre pressures ob‐
served.
If washout is detected at an early stage, the wheels should be
fitted on the drive axle. 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 incorrect wheel alignment
are not covered by warranty.

h re

The cause of the noise is largely dependent on the combination

es, in part or in w
of the road surface and tyres.

t to the co
The structure and material of the road surface will greatly affect
tyre noise. For example, the noise level on a wet road is much
rrectness of i
higher than on a dry road.

l purpos
The pattern of the tyre tread also has a significant influence on

tyre noise. Tyres with transverse grooves at an angle of 90° gen‐
erate more noise than tyres with grooves running diagonally.
nform

Small tread blocks are unstable. Their highly pronounced defor‐

2. Facts about wheels and tyres (passenger cars)
♦ „Tyre vibration“ is the principal cause of tyre noise. It is caused

by the columns of air in the tread channels being agitated.
♦ „Air pumping“ is the compression and expansion of the air
caused by the deformation of the tread blocks as the tyre con‐
tact patch moves along the road surface.
Useful information regarding tyre noise
Tyre noise is determined primarily by the tyres and the road sur‐
face.
The roughness, structure and material of the road surface influ‐
ence tyre noise.
The widths of the tyre and the rim, among other things, influence
tyre noise. Due to their larger contact area, wider tyres will cause
more tyre noise than narrow tyres, as more air has to be displaced
and more „mass“ is agitated to create vibrations.
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
tyre. Moreover, the damping characteristics of the tyre may also
be adversely affected by the wider wheel rim.
Tyre noise of a vehicle with front-wheel drive is more perceptible
in the rear because wind and the engine noise are not as loud
there.
2.2.2 Saw-tooth wear

Saw-tooth wear is a stepped wear pattern on the individual tread
blocks ⇒ page 19 that can cause increased tyre noise. The saw
tooth is caused by uneven deformation of the tread blocks in the
tyre's contact patch. Saw-tooth wear is more pronounced on non- AG. Volkswagen AG d

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

In the event of increased saw-tooth wear on the rear tyres – in
particular on front-wheel drive vehicles – interchange the front and
rear tyres. In the event of increased saw-tooth wear on the outer
edges of the tyres on one axle, turn both tyres around on their
rims. The left-hand wheel must then be fitted on the right side of
the vehicle and the right-hand wheel on the left side.
2.2.3 Flat spots (from locking wheels)

Flat spots result from hard braking which causes the wheels to
lock so that the rubber is worn off at the contact patch between
the tread and the road surface.
As the tyres slide over the road surface, friction generates heat,
which reduces the tread material's resistance to wear.
Not even the most wear-resistant tread compound can prevent
the flat spots caused by extreme braking.
Even ABS-controlled brake systems cannot prevent brief locking
of the wheels, and thus, minor flat spots.
The degree of such wear depends largely on the vehicle speed,
the road surface and the load placed on the wheel. The following
examples should make this clear.

If a vehicle is braked to a standstill on a dry surface with the

wheels locked, the amount of rubber worn from the tyre will cover
an area the size of a postcard and will have a thickness of:
♦ up to 2.0 mm from a speed of 57 km/h (23.8 m braking dis‐

Note
♦ Before working with a finish balancer , the mechanic needs to

have been instructed by the manufacturer of the balancer.
♦ To balance the wheels, set the wheels of the driven axle on
the sensor platforms (only the front wheels of a front-wheel
drive vehicle, all four wheels of a four-wheel drive vehicle).
If you determine a residual imbalance greater than 20 grams

when balancing the wheels, you should rotate the mounting po‐
sition of the wheel on the hub.
– Mark the point at which the imbalance is indicated.
– Unbolt the wheel and rotate its position on the hub so that the
marking points downwards.
Note
The hub must not rotate during this procedure.
– First hand-tighten the lowest wheel bolt to about 30 Nm.

– Then tighten the remaining wheel bolts diagonally to about
30 Nm. This process ensures that the wheel is centred prop‐
erly on the hub.
– Check whether the imbalance is less than 20 grams using the
finish balancer.

Note
The imbalance should always be less than 20 grams before you

change the balance weight.
– If necessary, remove the wheel bolts again.

– Rotate the wheel relative to the hub once more, turning it one
or two wheel bolt holes further.
– Tighten the wheel bolts using the method described above.

Note
Flat spots caused by hard braking cannot be repaired. Such tyres

must be renewed.
Reasons for flat spots caused by storage or handling:

♦ The vehicle has been left standing in one place without being
moved for several weeks.
♦ The tyre inflation pressure is too low.
♦ The vehicle was placed in a paint shop drying booth after being
painted.
♦ The vehicle was parked with warm tyres in a cool garage or
similar for a long period of time. In this case, a flat spot from
standing may even occur overnight.
Eliminating flat spots caused by storage or handling
♦ Flat spots caused by storage or handling cannot be eliminated
from the tyre using workshop equipment.
♦ Flat spots caused by storage or handling can be removed only
by running the tyres warm.
♦ The method described below is not recommended in cold and

Prote AG.
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
compensate for this self-steering behaviour.
2.4.2 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. Conicity is not visible and cannot be
measured with equipment available in the workshop.
Parts of a tyre
1 - Bead
2 - Shoulder
3 - Tread
4 - Steel cord belt
A - Geometrical centre of tyre
B - Actual centre of belt. It can be offset to inside or outside.

Exaggerated for clarity.

1 - Offset of belt and tread
F1 - Unequal vertical wheel forces
F2 - Unequal vertical wheel forces
Fk - Conicity force
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
develops. The resulting force (conicity force Fk) can, depending
on the speed, become so great that the vehicle then pulls to one
side.
If the force Fk on one wheel of the axle is, for example, 50 Newton,
and also 50 Newton on the other wheel, and both forces are ex‐
erted in the same direction, the forces are cumulated. Reversing
a tyre on the rim can compensate for the lateral pull because the
forces then act in opposite directions.
Because the direction in which the force of taper is exerted is not
visible, only road tests and strategic rotation of wheels and tyres
can establish which tyres cause the pulling.
The tyre consists of numerous components and materials which
are vulcanised to form a single part at the end of a complicated
manufacturing process. The result is differing production toleran‐
ces which make themselves noticeable through more or less
strong lateral forces (conicity forces). These forces Acan

2.5 Tyre damage
2.5.1 General information

As tyre damage can have serious consequences, you and the
driver should regularly check the tyres to identify any problems at
an early stage.
Damaged tyres cannot withstand driving conditions such as high
speed, long distances, sporty driving, and so on.

Damage can be caused in a number of ways:

♦ Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
♦ Assembly error when tyres were fitted on rims
♦ Damage by embedding objects
♦ Ageing
♦ Improper storage
WARNING
Whenever a safety risk cannot be ruled out, the tyre must be

renewed.

this is the circumferential scuffing along the bead caused by the
wheel flange and also the discolouration. Small, furrowed creases
are visible along the inside of the sidewall.
When the tyre rolls, strong shear forces develop between the lay‐
ers of steel cord, especially at the ends of the belts.
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.

insufficient tyre pressure.

AG.
They run from the bead towards the shoulder of the tyre. These
parts appear in the figure ⇒ page 28 .
The cause is the accumulation of material at the joints of the tyre
components.
Undulations have no effect on:
♦ Safety,
♦ Service life,
♦ Handling or
♦ Other characteristics of the tyre.
Undulations are visible to varying extents. It is not necessary to
inspect the tyre or remove it from the rim.
What causes undulations?
Modern steel belted tyres are constructed with single-ply side
walls to save weight.
The sidewall components consist of long strips before they are
joined together to form a tyre. They must overlap at the joints.
Consequently, slight irregularities or waves are created in the

area of the overlapping parts. The overlaps are easier to see from
the outside due to the single-ply construction.

2.6.5 Tyre storage

Storage room
Rooms used for storing tyres must be
• dark,
• dry,
• cool and
• ventilated.

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.
Storage of tyres

2.6.6 Tyre ageing
rrectness of i
Tyres age as a result of physical and chemical processes, which
can impair the function of the tyres. Tyres which are stored for
l purpos
longer periods of time harden and become brittle faster than tyres
which are constantly in use on a vehicle. Older tyres may develop
nform
ercia
hairline cracks as a result of ageing. When tyres are in regular

use, the constant flexing activates softeners in the rubber, pre‐

2.6.7 Care and maintenance of alloy wheel
rims
Regular care is required to maintain the decorative appearance
of alloy wheels over a long period of time.
In particular road salt and dust from brake abrasion must be thor‐
oughly washed off every 2 weeks; otherwise the finish of the alloy
wheel will suffer.
Cleaning agents
Suitable cleaning agents:
♦ Plain water or water with soft soap
♦ Water and essence of vinegar
♦ Alloy wheel cleansers without acids or strong solvents
Do not exceed the soaking time of the cleaning agent.
The shorter the recommended soaking time, the harsher and
more aggressive the cleaning agent.
Damage to finish
If the finish is damaged, for example by stones, the damage must
be repaired as quickly as possible.
Removing adhesive residue from glued balance weights on alloy
rims
♦ Strong solvents and acids attack the finish on alloy wheels and
the surface of the wheel becomes matt and milky. Therefore,
these substances should not be used.

♦ To remove adhesive residue on alloy wheels, use alloy cleans‐

ers or a petrol-based cleanser. Do not exceed the soaking time
of the cleaning agent.
♦ After cleaning or removing adhesive residue from wheels,
rinse them with water. AG. Volkswagen AG d

2.6.11 Notes on use of temporary spare wheels

Inform your customers about the following notes and, if appropri‐
ate, refer also to the user's manual of the vehicle as the need
arises.
The following notes also apply to spare wheels, e.g. 7 J x 16 with
205/55 R 16 tyres, marked with a yellow sticker with the text „MAX
80 km/h“ or „MAX 50 mph“

2.6.12 Winter tyres

For driving in winter, we recommend that the vehicle be equipped
with winter tyres in the sizes recommended in table 2 of the parts
certificates.
As a basic rule:
All tyre sizes listed in the vehicle documents can also be used as
winter tyres.
The handling characteristics may be affected by the use of winter
tyres and the possible change in the dimensions of the wheel and
tyre. Therefore, when using winter tyres, you must adapt your
speed to the changed handling characteristics and to the road
conditions.
To achieve the best possible handling, winter tyres must be fitted
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 6). 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.
6) A spherical cap is the curved surface of a section of a sphere cut by a plane.
You can see a spherical cap on the wheel bolt and in the wheel (rim) in the tapped
hole for the wheel bolt.
2.6.13 Winter tyres with speed symbol „V“

The tyre industry now supplies winter tyres with speed symbol
"V". But only under certain conditions may these tyres be used up
to the maximum permitted speed vmax = 240 km/h.
Vehicles with V tyres
Vehicles requiring V tyres according to the vehicle's title docu‐
ment can use winter tyres with speed symbol V without restriction
at speeds up to vmax =240 km/h.
Vehicles with W, Y or ZR tyres:
Under certain circumstances, vehicles requiring W, Y or ZR tyres
according to the vehicle's title document may not be driven at
speeds of vmax = 240 km/h.
Why?
V summer tyres and V winter tyres without special identification
⇒ page 49 have 100 % of their maximum load capacity (as
specified by their load index „LI“) ⇒ page 49 only up to speeds
of 210 km/h.
Speeds above 210 km/h are possible with V winter tyres only if
the maximum load of the tyres is not exceeded. The load capacity
of the tyres decreases as the speed increases.
The maximum permitted axle load and the maximum achievable
speed of some VW vehicles are so high that the load capacity of
the V tyres is not sufficient for speeds of up to 240 km/h.

2.6.15 Reinforced and Extra Load (XL) tyres

Some tyre manufacturers have for some time replaced the des‐

designation has long been standard in non-European countries.
Technically, there is no difference between them.
Some tyre manufacturers also use the designation „XL“ for Extra
Load tyres.
Tyres with the designation „Reinforced“ or „Extra Load (XL)“ are
