Model Engine Tire dimensionsTire inflation Tire pressure, inflation front axle pressure, rear axle PSI kPa PSI kPa The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is configured at the factory with the correct tire inflation pressure applicable for the vehicle model, engine and factory-installed tires. This tire inflation pressure is also listed on the sticker inside the driver door jamb ⇒ Tire inflation pressure. The tire inflation pressure are listed for all tires and the collapsible spare tire. In the event of a discrepancy between the above figures and the tire pressures listed on the tire inflation pressure label, the pressures listed on the label are the ones you should use. If different tires are installed, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System cannot properly monitor tire inflation pressures unless the TPMS is reset to the new tire pressures ⇒ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities have the necessary special tools and must reset the TPMS for the new tires on your vehicle. Tread depth and tread wear indicators Fig. 114 Tread pattern: Wear indicator. ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS Tread depth Most driving situations require as much tread depth as possible and similar tread depth for the tires on the front and rear wheels. This is especially true when driving in winter weather, at low temperatures and under wet conditions ⇒ . In most countries the legally permissible minimum tread depth is 06 in (1/16 in; 1.6 mm), as measured in tread grooves next to the wear indicators. Please be sure to obey country-specific legal requirements. Winter tires are no longer suitable for winter operation once the tread pattern is worn down to a depth of 3/16 in (4.8 mm) The tread depth of new tires can differ between tire models and manufacturers because of the different design features and tread patterns. Tread wear indicator (TWI) in the tire The 1/16 in (1.6 mm) high wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves of the original tires running across the treads ⇒ fig. 114. Several wear indicators are evenly spaced around the tire. Markings on the sides of the tires (for example “TWI” or symbols) show the position of the wear indicators.
