Manual Description
Tires are very important, since their small patches of rubber are the only contact between your vehicle and the road. The tires and wheels approved by Volkswagen are specially matched to the characteristics of the vehicle for good road holding and safe handling when in good condition and properly inflated. Avoiding tire damage If you must drive over a curb or other obstacle, drive very slowly and as much as possible at a right angle to the curb with the tire tread of both front wheels contacting the curb at the same time.
If you notice unusual vibration or the vehicle pulls to one side, this may indicate that one of the tires is damaged. Unidirectional tires Unidirectional tires are designed to rotate only in one direction. Unidirectional tires have arrows on the sidewalls that show the direction of rotation.
Unidirectional tires must always be mounted according to the specified direction of rotation in order to deliver their best grip, braking performance, low road noise, and good wear as well as good hydroplaning resistance. If you have to mount a tire opposite to its proper direction of rotation, you must drive more carefully, since the tire is no longer being used as designed. You must replace or remount the tire as soon as possible in order to restore the correct direction of rotation.
