When to install your winter tires on your VW?
Cold weather is the enemy of tires that aren't approved for winter use. These tires will begin to harden when the outside temperature goes below 7°C which in turn means that the compound will have less grip and less braking effectiveness. That means that when you start to see the weather go below 7° on a consistent basis, it is time to have your winter tires installed. Usually, that happens towards the end of October so now is a great time to book your appointment so that you are ready for the cold temperatures ahead.
Check if your winter tires are still in good condition before installing them on your VW
One element that is often overlooked is the condition of the tires before you have them installed. We unfortunately tend to find out that our winter tires are no longer in good condition after they have been installed by the way our vehicle is behaving. To avoid such a situation, we would recommend that you measure the tread depth of your tires and confirm that they are at least 4.8 mm before you install your winter tires. Anything less than this, and there is a strong probability that your tires won't last through winter.
Should you need to replace your winter tires, our experts will be happy to assist you in finding Volkswagen approved winter tires that are guaranteed to optimize handling and stability of your Volkswagen this winter while also giving you plenty of value.
