All tyres wear out and need replacing at some point, whether on a VW or otherwise - but there are different reasons why. Road conditions, things like potholes, sharp objects and stone chips can all cause damage to tyres, making them more likely to puncture or wear down over time. However, driver error is also a contributor, with things like underinflated tyres, as well as hard braking and acceleration which puts extra strain on tyres, causing them to deteriorate faster. At Vasstech, we offer a comprehensive tyre servicing and fitting service that will help you keep your tyres in good condition. We'll check your tyre pressure and tread depth, and we can also repair any damage that's been caused by potholes or other road hazards.
We know it can be a bit overwhelming trying to figure out which one to buy. But not to worry - we're here to help! Consider the size and weight of your Volkswagen - smaller models, like a Polo will obviously need a different tyre than the larger Touran or Amarok. Think about the climate and roads you'll be driving in most often, snow and ice, or rough terrain, will need a specialist tyre. Then consider your driving habits, do you do lots of short distances or are you on th motorway a lot? Different tyres are better suited for different types of driving, choosing the right VW tyre will depend on all these things.
The legal tyre tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm. This means that the tyre must have a minimum of 1.6mm of tread depth across the central three quarters of the tyre. To check the tyre tread depth, we’ll use a tyre tread depth gauge. This is a simple tool that is inserted into the tyre tread and then withdrawn to measure the depth of the tyre tread, we’ll then compare this measurement to the legal limit to see if the tyre needs to be replaced. If you're not sure whether your tyres meet the legal tread depth, it's always best to get them checked by a professional.
Tyre pressures are the main contributing factor to the preservation of your VW’s tyres. Too low and you’ll witness increased tyre wear, decreased fuel efficiency and a loss of grip on the road. Too high and you’ll get uneven wear, as well as uncomfortable bounce while driving. You should also pay attention to different weather conditions, as cold weather can cause tyre pressure to decrease while hot weather can increase tyre pressure. You should check your tyres regularly, as different models of Volkswagens will have different tyre pressures for different models of car and tyre dimensions. For example, a Golf will need different pressures than a Toureg, even if they were sat on the same wheels and tyres.
