VW tyres - Perfectly matched tyres for your Volkswagen

For Volkswagen brand vehicles, the choice of the right tyres plays a key role in terms of safety, driving comfort and economy. Whether Golf, Passat, Tiguan or Polo - every VW requires tyres that are tailored to the respective model and meet both the vehicle-specific requirements and individual driving habits.

VW tyres are available in numerous sizes and designs to ensure optimum performance in every driving situation. The most common dimensions include:

• 195/65 R15 - often used for the VW Golf or Jetta

• 205/55 R16 - one of the most popular sizes for the Golf and Passat

• 215/55 R17 - common for the VW Tiguan and Touran

• 225/45 R17 - sporty variant, for example for the Golf GTI

• 235/55 R18 - preferred for SUVs such as the VW Tiguan or Touareg

The correct tyre size can be found in the registration certificate part I or the COC paper of your vehicle. Alternatively, you can look at the tyre combination already fitted.

What you should look out for when buying VW tyres

• Seasonal requirements:
  Summer tyres offer optimum grip at high temperatures, while winter tyres with special sipes and rubber compounds are designed for slippery snow and low temperatures. All-season tyres are suitable for moderate climates and infrequent drivers.
• Load capacity and speed index:
  Make sure that the tyres meet the requirements of your VW model in terms of weight and maximum speed.
• Running performance and fuel efficiency:
  Low rolling resistance ensures lower fuel consumption and reduces tyre wear at the same time - a crucial aspect for frequent drivers.
• Diversity of brands:
  We offer a wide selection of tyre brands, from well-known premium manufacturers to inexpensive alternatives. This allows you to decide for yourself which priorities you want to set when buying tyres.
• Rim compatibility:
  The combination of tyre and rim should be technically flawless and also harmonise visually. Many of our customers opt directly for a matching complete wheel.

Buying tyres in Austria

Buying tyres in Austria is heavily influenced by regional weather and road conditions. Whilst comfortable all-round performance is often sought after in urban areas, in Alpine regions traction, braking performance on snow and high safety margins play a key role. Due to mountain passes, fluctuating temperatures and snowy winters, many motorists pay very close attention to choosing the right tyres.

Special features of the Austrian tyre market

In Austria, winter equipment is mandatory depending on the situation in wintry driving conditions. As a result, winter tyres have traditionally been highly valued. At the same time, all-season tyres are gaining in importance, particularly among drivers who mainly travel in towns or milder regions. For commuters, frequent drivers and motorists in higher altitudes, however, seasonal tyres usually remain the preferred choice.

When buying via reifen.com, customers should pay attention not only to the tyre size but also to load index, speed rating, wet grip, rolling resistance and snow performance. The Alpine symbol is an important feature, particularly in winter driving conditions.

Popular tyre brands in Austria

Tyre brands in high demand in Austria include Continental, Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Semperit, Nokian, Hankook and Vredestein. Semperit, in particular, enjoys a high level of recognition thanks to its Austrian heritage. Nokian is often associated with strong winter tyre expertise, whilst Hankook and Vredestein offer many buyers an attractive balance of quality, performance and price.
