Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Run-flat tyres, PAX, inflating tyre
| Observe the following important points when inflating the
tyre: |
| – |
Only inflate after fitting the tyre with valve core
installed. Check whether the beads have properly seated at 1
bar. |
| – |
If one of the beads is not seated properly, do not let air
out of the tyre, but apply the fitting roller to the appropriate
bead and press on lightly while turning. The bead will then seat
itself properly. |
|
|
|
| – |
Then fill up with air until the specified inflation pressure
for the vehicle is reached. Tyre gas for standard tyres can also
be used. |
 Note
| Do NOT overfill tyre (e.g. up to 3.5 bar), even briefly, as
is permissible with standard tyres. |
|
|
|
The procedure for adjusting the wheel alignment on vehicles
with run-flat tyres (PAX) is the same as for vehicles with
standard tyres.
