Volkswagen Touran Service Manual: Tires, Bringing to Mounting Temperature

Volkswagen Touran Service Manual / Wheel and Tire Guide Information / Tires, Mounting / Tires, Bringing to Mounting Temperature

Caution

There is a risk of damaging tires with strong heat.

Never heat the tires with a heater or a hot air gun.

Warm tires with warm water or warm air (maximum 50 C (86 F)).

The optimum mounting temperature of a tire is between 15 C and 30 C (59 and 86 F) on the inside of the tire. The temperature of the tire surface during the warm-up phase should not be considered as the interior temperature of the tire.

Store cold tires one day before installing in the workshop on an insulated surface a wood pallet or something similar. Store the tires separately so that the surrounding air can warm them quickly.

Warm-Up Time for Urgent Cases

Tires with an interior temperature over 0 C (32 F): minimum of two hours at minimum 19 C (66.2 F)

Tires with an interior temperature under 0 C (32 F): minimum of two and a half hours at minimum 19 C (66.2 F)

Clean up condensation occasionally with a cloth.
