GENERAL INFORMATION

On Golf cars tubeless radial tires and disks of the various sizes are established.

Keep in mind, at a choice of a disk it is necessary to consider not only diameter and width of a disk, but also distance from a landing surface to the line of symmetry of a disk.

Originally new tires yet do not provide their sufficient coupling with a paving; the first 100 km it is necessary to move with moderate speed and with extra care – to this period of the tire "prikatyvayutsya". Successful implementation of this process promotes increase of service life of tires.

Depending on design features and drawing of a protector of tires the height of drawing of a protector of new tires varies on separate models of tires and manufacturers.

From time to time tires are in use put on trial on durability (result of that punctures, cuts, gaps and swellings can be). It is necessary to delete foreign matters from a protector of tires regularly.

To avoid damages of tires and rims, follows slowly and whenever possible at right angle to overcome bordyurny stones and other similar obstacles.

Often tires and disks have the hidden damages. Emergence of unusual vibration or car withdrawal aside can indicate tire damage. If there is a suspicion that the tire has damage, it is necessary to lower immediately speed! Check tires on absence of damages (cracks, swellings, etc.). If it is not revealed any external damages, slowly and carefully follow to the next service enterprise Volkswagen for careful check of a condition of tires.

It is necessary to avoid contact of tires to oils, greasings and fuel.

Instead of the lost dustproof caps it is necessary to put new caps immediately.

Before removal of wheels it is necessary to make the corresponding marks on them at return installation it was possible to keep the former direction of rotation of tires.

The removed wheels and tires should be stored in a pure and dry condition, whenever possible in a dark room. The tires not mounted on disks should be stored in vertical situation.

Before removal of wheels increase pressure in tires by 0,3–0,5 bar.
