Why Change and Rotate Tires?

Tires are the foundation of your Volkswagen’s performance. In order to ensure optimal handling and performance in your Volkswagen, you should complete regular maintenance and get tire changes when needed. Dreyer & Reinbold Volkswagen will only recommend high-quality tires that are manufacturer approved and designed to provide comfort, safety, and long-lasting performance. This will ensure that your Volkswagen will perform with strong acceleration, stable cornering, and smooth braking, keeping up with all of your driving demands.

As you drive and your tires age, they will wear over time. We suggest changing your tires every six years; however, driving habits can affect the lifespan of your tires. During your tire’s lifespan, you should get regular tire rotations every 7,500 miles. Tire rotations will help your tires wear evenly, helping to maintain the longevity of your tires and vehicle while ensuring optimal performance and safety.

Volkswagen Tire Types

There are several Volkswagen-approved tire types, each specifically designed for you and your vehicle’s needs. Most tires on Volkswagens are all-season tires designed to provide a smooth and quiet ride, traction during any season, and long tread life. However, some tires are designed for specific climates and tasks. Tires approved by Volkswagen include:

  • Volkswagen Approved All-Season Tires: Designed to perform in all seasons, providing reliable traction, handling, and cornering in most weather conditions.
  • Volkswagen Approved Cold Weather Tires: Built for temperatures below 45°F, offering better traction, handling, and responsiveness in harsh winter conditions.
  • Volkswagen-Approved Summer Tires: Ideal for hot climates, delivering improved performance in dry and wet conditions.
  • Volkswagen-Approved High-Performance Tires: Engineered to enhance handling, responsiveness, and cornering for high-performance driving.

Tire Wear Warning Signs

As your tires begin to wear, your Volkswagen will begin to show warning signs of tire wear. You will likely be able to see and feel these warning signs. Your Volkswagen may begin to get decreased fuel efficiency, uneven tire feel, uncommon noises, and poor handling. You should bring your Volkswagen to Dreyer & Reinbold Volkswagen Service Center as soon as possible if you notice any of the following warning signs:

  • Vibration when driving
  • Hydroplaning in wet weather
  • Less responsive braking and traction
  • Less control when cornering
  • Visible tread loss, bulging, and cracking on tires

Volkswagen Tire FAQs

How often should I have my Volkswagen's tires rotated?−
It is recommended that your tires be rotated every 7,500 miles, but the exact figure can vary from one vehicle to another. It is best to have your tires inspected when you bring your vehicle in for an oil change, as this will indicate whether your tires should be rotated or changed.
What causes my Volkswagen's tires to show signs of wear?−
Time will wear down your tires, but that doesn't mean you can't slow it down. Check your pressure and alignment regularly. If your tires are underinflated, overinflated, or misaligned, you will notice quicker wear and tear.
What is a wheel alignment?−
Wheel alignments ensure that your tires are properly angled to each other.
How can I tell if my Volkswagen needs a wheel alignment?−
If you've noticed your vehicle pulling to one side, poor steering responses, or unusual wear on your front tire, bring your car in immediately to see if your wheel has become misaligned.
Should I check my Volkswagen's tire pressure?−
Yes, you should try to check your tire pressure before driving at least once a month and more often when it's cold.
When do tires need to be replaced?−
If you have your Volkswagen's tires rotated regularly, they should last for approximately six years. However, if you often drive in the snow or rain, your tires may experience faster wear and tear.
How do tires affect fuel efficiency?−
As your tires wear or become deflated, your mileage will reduce due to poor traction. The less traction, the more energy your car needs to put into moving.
Why is my tire maintenance warning light on?−
The following reasons will cause your tire maintenance warning light to come on:
  • A change in weather.
  • You've exceeded the mileage setting between tire rotations.
  • Your tires are over or under-inflated.
