Volkswagen Tires

FIND TIRES FOR YOUR VOLKSWAGEN

Arguably, Volkswagen has made two iconic vehicles in its lifetime as a brand. The VW Kombi Van is reminiscent of Woodstock and days at the beach. Getting sand out of the shag carpets must have been a nightmare. While the VW Beetle was made popular for its excellent handling and inexpensive price. Unlike the American "land yachts" of the era, the Beetle was small, round, and aerodynamic. Not to mention it was cute.

Today, Volkswagen makes a variety of vehicles including SUVs, Sedans, and Compact cars. Choosing the right set of tires for your Volkswagen is a critical decision because tires affect handling, comfort, and wear. Whether you want to help your vehicle perform well in snow, or extended tread wear on the family SUV, Tire Rack offers a wide range of tires for Volkswagen vehicles. Read through the Tire Ratings Charts & Reviews to help you decide which set is best for you.

What tire brand do VW use?

Just like many other automotive manufactures, Volkswagen uses a variety of different tire brand across their vehicles. Some of the more common brands found on VW vehicles are Goodyear, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Michelin, Dunlop, and Continental.

Which tire brand is best for VW?

There is no singular best tire brand for Volkswagen vehicles. Which tire is best for you will depend on the year and model of your vehicle as well as what you need from a tire. You may opt to have 2 sets of tires if you live in a snowy climate. This would allow you to have dedicated winter / snow tires which will perform better in snow, slush, and on ice. However, if you don't see snow, or it's only minimal, you may opt for a single set of All-Season tires. Most tire manufactures offer various tires in these categories and many more.

The guide will ask you a series of questions before giving you 3 suggestions that best match what you're looking for along with a comparison guide.

How many miles do VW tires last?

Like most vehicles, tire wear on Volkswagen vehicles is dependent on the conditions its being driven in. Generally, tires should last 2-5 years. Tires that are consistently run on-road with improper inflation could result in increased wear. Out-of-spec wheel alignment can also increase wear which is why it's important to have your alignment checked and to rotate your tires. Even if you don't drive that much, you should still replace your tires every six years as they may naturally start to degrade after that.
