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 Germany

purchase of tyres in Germany is heavily influenced by seasonal requirements. Many motorists follow the well-known rule of thumb ‘from O to O’, i.e. from October to Easter for winter tyres. Although there is no general legal requirement to fit winter tyres based on a specific calendar date, vehicles must be fitted with suitable tyres in wintry road conditions. As a result, demand for winter tyres, summer tyres and all-season tyres are particularly dependent on the weather.
