Tyres are a vital element of your Volkswagen’s performance. It is important to maintain your vehicle’s tyres and get new ones when necessary. With the right care, your Volkswagen tyres can last the length of a trip around the world. Looking after your tyres will ensure that your Volkswagen can brake, corner and accelerate properly, while also reducing your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Volkswagen genuine tyres are designed to maximise your car’s performance and deliver exceptional ride comfort. At Group 1 Volkswagen, our trained technicians are here to ensure your tyres are ready to take on whatever adventures lie ahead. Our centres are located across Kent, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, where you can get the first-class service you expect.
At Group 1 Volkswagen, we stock a range of quality tyres from trusted manufacturers that you know and love. We understand how inconvenient it can be to be without your car, which is why our Volkswagen-trained technicians work quickly and efficiently, ensuring that your car is returned to you in perfect condition as soon as possible. All of our tyres are rigorously tested before we fit them, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.
Recommended for temperatures below 7°c, Volkswagen winter tyres are designed to keep you safe in icy conditions. Winter tyres are made of a special compound that counteracts the hardening and lack of grip on the road during cold weather. Choose winter tyres for a more cost-effective solution for motoring during the winter.
Maximise your driving experience during the hotter weather with Volkswagen summer tyres. Made from soft rubber, summer tyres are designed to increase your level of grip in temperatures above 7°c. Summer tyres also feature a water-dispersing tread pattern, providing greater grip in wet conditions and counteracting hydroplaning.
Combining features of both summer and winter tyres, Volkswagen all-season tyres save you the hassle of having a second set of tyres. Although all-season tyres are more convenient, they are generally inferior to winter and summer tyres, especially when it comes to your Volkswagen’s performance.
Although tyres can withstand a lot of usage, your tyres will get worn and will need replacing eventually. It is a legal requirement to replace your tyres when the tread gets to 1.6mm; however, it is recommended that you get new tyres when the tread fall below 3mm. This will ensure that your tyres provide optimum grip, making your Volkswagen safer on the road.
New tyres will also help your car perform effectively on the road, so you can benefit from better fuel economy and save money in the long-run. It is important to get your tyres replaced by a professional, so you know that they have been fitted correctly. Tyres that are not aligned properly will wear down unevenly, reducing the effectiveness of the grip. Our team can help you to choose the optimum time to change your tyres, for complete peace of mind.
Regular maintenance and correct placement of your tyres are extremely important. Prolong the life of your Volkswagen tyres by conducting some basic checks, which will reduce your fuel bill and your CO2 emissions. These checks will also ensure that your Volkswagen can brake, accelerate and corner correctly and safely.
The correct tyre pressure is vital to your safety on the road. Under-inflated tyres will affect the handling and grip of your Volkswagen, causing irregular and unpredictable vehicle behaviour. Your car is also more likely to suffer from a dangerous blowout when travelling at high speeds, especially on the motorway.
By keeping your tyres inflated with the correct pressure, you will use less force to make them turn, which can burn more fuel. If your tyres are not set to the right pressure, they are also likely to wear out a lot quicker. We recommend checking your tyre pressure at least once a month to avoid these problems. If you are worried about your tyre pressure, get in touch with your local Group 1 Volkswagen centre for professional assistance and advice.
Your Volkswagen’s tyre tread depth is essential to your safety. Your tyre tread helps to remove water from the road surface, allowing your tyre to grip on the road. As your tyre tread depth wears down, the ability to remove the water and grip to the surface is reduced, compromising your safety.
The legal minimum tread depth for a car tyre in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre around the entire circumference. Driving on tyres that fail to meet this regulation is not only dangerous but illegal, which means you can be fined up to £2,500 and receive three penalty points for each illegal tyre.
All brand new tyres are required to have a European Union (EU) tyre label, which grades the tyre on fuel efficiency, loudness when rolling and grip in wet conditions. To ensure you get the most out of your tyres, we recommend Volkswagen genuine tyres for quality and assurance. Our Volkswagen technicians will fit your tyres and give your vehicle the care and attention it deserves. We only use genuine parts, so you can entrust that your Volkswagen continues to run smoothly.
At Group 1 Volkswagen, we supply high-quality brand new tyres that are Volkswagen-approved, so you can rest assured that you are getting the best for your vehicle. Our team of technicians work efficiently to get your Volkswagen back on the road as soon as possible.
