Volkswagen history

German automaker Volkswagen is one of the largest and most popular automotive manufacturers in the world. You’ll find three VW models (the Beetle, Passat and Golf) in the 'Top 10 best-selling cars of all time' list.

Volkswagen in German means ‘people’s car’. VW doesn’t manufacture the cheapest cars on the market, but the brand has become a byword for value for money and performance.

Today, VW is one of the world’s largest car manufacturers. Alongside the VW brand, the parent company owns ŠKODA, SEAT, CUPRA, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche and Ducati. When you buy a VW, you get the latest in automotive engineering, technology and performance – as well as a bit of history.

What size tyres do I need for my VW?

The simplest and fastest way to find the tyres you need for your VW is to type your registration into the box above. You’ll then see a selection of tyres that will fit your VW. You can search through the tyre list to find the model and type of tyre you want to buy. (Remember, all tyre prices include fitting at your choice of National store.)

If you don’t have a registration number, check out your current tyre’s sidewall. You should see characters in a similar format to 215 45 R16 96W. This information details the tyre width, profile, wheel size and speed rating. Jot this down on a piece of paper and type it into the search tool above to see a selection of VW tyres.

You can also find tyre size information inside your VW’s handbook.

What tyre brand does VW use?<

When factory fresh, Volkswagen fits Goodyear tyres on all their vehicles. Goodyear is a premium tyre manufacturer, with its tyres delivering maximum performance and durability. This ensures that the customer can achieve the expected levels of performance from their VW.

While VW chooses to fit Goodyear tyres, all VWs use standard-sized wheels, which means you’re free to fit any tyre you choose.

Volkswagen winter tyres

While your VW won’t come fitted as standard with winter tyres, they’re a great option if you’re planning on driving in winter weather. Winter tyres are purpose-built to provide extra grip in challenging conditions. A specially designed tread pattern stops snow and ice from building up within the tyre grooves which can help to prevent the car from skidding or slipping.

How long should VW tyres last?

Your VW tyres should last several thousand miles. The exact lifespan of your tyres will depend on several factors, including driving style, road and weather conditions, your vehicle’s performance characteristics and more.

It’s essential that you regularly check the tread depth of your car’s tyres. We recommend that your VW tyres should be replaced when the tread depth is below 3mm. While that’s before the legal limit of 1.6mm, doing so will preserve the handling, acceleration and braking performance of your VW.

Does VW use run-flat tyres?

Run-flat tyres enable you to drive on them with a puncture, enabling you to get to a place of safety and have them repaired. Some VW models will come with run-flat tyres fitted at the factory (including the Arteon and Tiguan models), but many don’t. Should you buy run-flat tyres for your VW? While run-flat tyres can cost more than standard tyres, the technology provides greater peace of mind, which is a price a lot of drivers are happy to pay.

What tyres are best for a VW Golf?

The Volkswagen Golf is VW’s most popular family car and one of the best-selling models ever. Depending on the specific variant of the Golf, the original equipment tyres for this model include tyres manufactured by Pirelli, Yokohama, Goodyear and other leading manufacturers. Replacement Volkswagen tyres for the Golf that you can consider are Pirelli Cinturato P6 tyres, Goodyear UltraGrip tyres and Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT tyres.
