Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Tyre storage
The conditions have to be: |
in the tyre storage room. |
WARNING
Stored tyres must not come in contact with fuel,
oil, grease or chemicals under any circumstances.
Otherwise, the material in the tyre will be damaged by
chemical reactions which are not always visible. |
As a result, dangerous situations can occur when the
car is driven. |
|
Of course, tyre damage occurs only if the tyre is in contact
with the chemical for a relatively long time. If a few drops of
fuel land on a tyre during a fill up, this is of no concern. |
Tyres mounted on wheels can be stored flat, stacked one upon
the other. In this case, it is important to ensure that the
tyres are clean and dry. The inflation pressure should be
increased to a maximum of 3 bar. |
Tyres without wheels are best stored standing vertically. If
tyres are stacked for a long period of time, they will be
pressed together quite considerably. The tyres will then be more
difficult to fit, as they do not sit on the rim shoulders. If
tyres are stored standing vertically, it is recommended to turn
them every 14 days to avoid flat spots. |
