Winter tires available for VW vehicles may have a maximum speed rating that is lower than the potential maximum speed of the vehicle. Never
drive VW vehicles at speeds that exceed the maximum speed rating of the tires with which the vehicles is equipped. Always obey posted speed
limits.
A NOTE ABOUT HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES: These tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are
not suitable for cold, snowy or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all season or
winter tires, which offer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended winter or all season tires specified for your
car or its equivalent. These high-performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in order to avoid
tire, rim or vehicle damage, it is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at recommended levels. Please also
remember in making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than
other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. For further information on all these topics, please consult the
owner’s manual, your local dealer or call 1-800-374-8389.
