Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Technical Requirements
| The wheel and tire combinations or retrofittings listed in
the individual vehicle tables refer exclusively to original disc
wheels. |
| Release of wheel/tire combinations or retrofittings with
disc wheels from the accessories trade is not possible with the
enclosed approval certificate. |
| Tubeless radial tires may only be used with stepped rims
with a bead retaining contour, for example a round hump. |
| Run-flat tires (reinforced sidewall) may only be used on
disc wheels with extended hump and vehicles with a tire pressure
monitoring system. Refer to
→ Chapter „Run-Flat Tire, Retrofitting/Conditions for use of
Run-Flat Tires“. |
| The correct tire inflation pressure values must be observed
when the specified wheel and tire combinations are used. The
tire pressures are listed on the tire pressure label on the
inside of the fuel filler door and on the B-pillar on the driver
side. |
| Sufficient clearance between the wheels and tires and the
wheel housing, suspension, and brake components is ensured if
the instructions and conditions specified in the approval
certificate are observed under all operating conditions. |
| If not otherwise specified, snow chains may be mounted only
on the drive wheels. If the vehicle has AWD, then snow chains
may be used on the front wheels only. |
| Additional Wheel Housing Enlargement, FLAPS |
|
|
|
| On some vehicles with certain wheel/tire combinations, wheel
housing enlargements (FLAPS) must be attached on the fenders or
bumper for certification/technical reasons
-arrows-. |
| Please check whether FLAPS must be installed. |
| The necessary wheel/tire combination information can be
found in the overview table for the respective vehicle. |
