Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Tyres with flange protection
| The tyre industry produces tyres with flange protection for
alloy wheels. The flange protection is intended to protect alloy
wheels from damage due to contact with kerbs. |
| The combination of tyres with flange protection, steel
wheels and a full-size hub cap can lead to the loss of the hub
cap during operation. The flexing of the tyre separates the hub
cap from its seat. |
WARNING
| When fitting tyres, always make sure that only tyres
without flange protection are fitted to steel rims. |
