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 Switzerland

Buying tyres in Switzerland is heavily influenced by the varying geographical conditions. The requirements for tyres differ significantly between urban regions, rural areas and alpine routes. Whilst in lowland areas the focus is often on comfort, a smooth ride and efficiency, in mountainous regions grip, braking stability and reliable traction are particularly important.

Special features of the Swiss tyre market

In Switzerland, many motorists look for a very balanced combination of safety, quality and durability when buying tyres. Due to changeable weather conditions and challenging road conditions, high-quality summer and winter tyres are of great importance. All-season tyres are also increasingly in demand, but are primarily suitable for drivers who mainly travel in milder regions.

When buying via reifen.com, in addition to the correct size, you should also consider the load index, speed rating, wet grip, rolling resistance and noise levels. In Switzerland in particular, a quiet ride is important, as many routes pass through residential areas, tunnels or mountainous terrain.

Popular tyre brands in Switzerland

Popular tyre brands in Switzerland include Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Pirelli, Dunlop, Hankook, Nokian and Vredestein. Michelin and Continental are often synonymous with high safety margins and outstanding premium quality. Pirelli is particularly popular for sportier vehicles, whilst Hankook and Vredestein offer many buyers an attractive balance of price, performance and everyday practicality.
