Dubai’s road heat, long motorway runs and sharp summer temperatures are hard on tyres. Rubber ages and cracks faster here, even when tread depth looks fine. Orange Auto fits new tyres to Volkswagen models in the size, load index and speed rating your car was designed for, from 16-inch Golf and Jetta wheels to the large rims on a Tiguan R-Line, Teramont or Touareg. We balance every wheel, reset the tyre pressure monitoring system and check pressures before you drive away.
We check tread depth, uneven wear, sidewall cracks, bulges and the tyre’s manufacture date, then tell you which tyres actually need replacing.
We match the size and ratings on your Volkswagen’s tyre placard and talk you through options for comfort, grip, noise and budget.
Old tyres come off with care for the TPMS sensors, and the rim’s bead seat is cleaned and checked for damage or corrosion that could cause leaks.
New tyres are mounted with the correct rotation direction and new valve parts where needed.
Each wheel is balanced to remove vibration through the steering wheel and seats at motorway speed.
Wheels are refitted and the bolts tightened to Volkswagen’s specified torque in the correct pattern.
Pressures are set to the values on the fuel flap or door pillar, and the tyre pressure monitoring system is reset so it learns the new tyres.
Uneven wear on the old tyres usually points to alignment. Pair new tyres with a Volkswagen wheel alignment, and if the rims are scuffed, see Volkswagen rim restoration.
The four-digit DOT code on the sidewall shows the week and year a tyre was made. In UAE heat, older tyres can crack and harden even with good tread.
Fit tyres at least in axle pairs. On 4MOTION models such as the Tiguan, Touareg and Golf R, keeping all four tyres evenly worn also protects the all-wheel-drive system.
A sidewall bulge after hitting a kerb or pothole means internal damage. The tyre should be replaced, not repaired.
Check pressures when the tyres are cold. Under-inflation wears the edges, raises fuel use and builds heat.
Which tyre size does my Volkswagen need?The size and load and speed ratings are on the placard inside the fuel flap or on the driver’s door pillar. We can check it for you.
How long does tyre replacement take?Fitting and balancing a set of four usually takes about an hour once the tyres are in stock.
Why is my tyre pressure light on after new tyres?The TPMS may need resetting through the infotainment menu. We reset it as part of the job.
