Is it time for a tyre change? Many Volkswagen Partners will take care of it for you. You can even leave your changed tyres there, where they will be proberly stored with the Wheel and Tyre Storage Service.
Our recommendation: Check your wheels and tyres once to twice a month as well as before any long car journeys – if in doubt you can ask your service partner for assistance.

Benefits

They’re your only point of contact with the road: Benefit from Volkswagen tyres.

  • Increased safety:
    The wheels on your Volkswagen can contribute to your driving safety.
  • Support the look:
    The tyres can make a difference to the overall look of the vehicle.
  • Checks:
    The wheels undergo an effective radial and axial runout measurement as well as a residual unbalance check.

Tyres with the optionally innovate AirStop® technology can help to prevent annoying on-site tyre change due to driving over a kerb, nail or shard of glass. AirStop® tyres contain a viscous mass that seals punctures of up to 5 mm in diameter caused by foreign bodies, thereby preventing a loss of pressure in the tyre. So, you can drive calmly to the nearest workshop or your Volkswagen Partner.

Are you interested in buying tyres? Or perhaps you have some questions on services for wheels and tyres? Your Volkswagen Partner will be happy to help.

Volkswagen tyres

  • Close-up Volkswagen Genuine +Tyre

    Volkswagen Genuine +Tyres

    Secure a plus for your vehicle

    The +Tyres are developed and tested in collaboration with leading tyre manufacturers specially for Volkswagen models – for noticeably better quality, convenience, performance and efficiency. By the way, tyres made by a manufacturer can be identified by the so-called OE code – where “OE” stands for “Original Equipment”. You can identify Volkswagen Genuine +Tyres by the plus symbol on the side flank of the tyre. They’re available for both combustion models and electric cars, such as the ID.4 or the ID.7.

    Benefits for Volkswagen models with a combustion engine:

    • Enhanced driving dynamics, safety and comfort thanks to tyres that are specially tailored to the Volkswagen model
    • High mileage and driving stability thanks to optimised tyre structure and special material mix
    • Reduced emissions by adapting the tyre to the performance elements of the model

    Special advantages for electric cars:

    • Increase in range due to lower rolling resistance and aerodynamic tyre side wall
    • Improvement in driving comfort due to reduced rolling noise
    • Tyre structure adapted to the increased battery weight
  • Complete wheel on a VW ID. model

    Tyres for electric cars

    Made to match your ID. model

    To take advantage of the high driving forces produced by the powerful electric motors on the road, you need good grip. That’s why the tyres on our electric cars have special properties that can increase not only traction but also range. They feature:

    • Special rubber compounds, made to match your electric Volkswagen
    • Specific tyre dimensions, such as high inch sizes and narrow tyre widths
    • Larger rims in comparison to the standard rims on a combustion vehicle

Summer tyres

You’ll be well-equipped with summer tyres – once temperatures get above 7 °C, they’re the clear winner.

  • Could increase safety:
    Thanks to improved traction and cornering stability. They can contribute to shorter braking distances on both dry and wet summer roads.
  • Could decrease wear:
    The special rubber compound does not get as soft, even under high asphalt temperatures.
  • Lower rolling resistance:
    Summer tyres have a lower rolling resistance. That can help your car to safe fuel.

Winter tyres

Specially developed for colder temperatures, ice and snow: Winter tyres.

  • Increased safety for the cold season:
    They can provide better traction and shorter braking distances when temperatures drop below 7 °C – whether it’s snowing or raining.
  • Stronger support on winter roads:
    The profile drains water and provides better lateral guidance.
  • More grip in ice and snow:
    Tread compound, profile and profile blades are designed for winter conditions.

When driving on slippery surfaces, such as slush or snow, tyres can lose traction and start to spin. Snow chains can ensure that tyres have enough traction and you can continue your journey on icy, snowy or slush-covered roads.

All-season tyres

All-season tyres combine balanced properties for both summer and winter weather conditions.

  • Save time and money:
    With all-season tyres, there is no need for a second set of tyres or a wheel change.
  • Good to very good properties in winter:
    A special tread with large channels drains liquid and snow more effectively.
  • Optimised tread design:
    Improvements regarding wet conditions, handling and noise at the tyre/road interface – especially when driving at high speeds.
