What tires are suitable for the Polo?
2 Answers
Volkswagen's new Polo comes equipped with Hankook K415 tires. The following introduces tire maintenance: 1. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire pressure is a crucial factor affecting tire lifespan. It should neither be too high nor too low. Inflate according to the vehicle's indicated tire pressure; try to keep the pressure slightly lower in summer. In winter, ensure the tire pressure is slightly higher than in summer due to thermal expansion and contraction. 2. Frequently inspect tire wear: Some vehicles may experience uneven tire wear ('tire eating'). Regularly check the tires, especially the inner side, for abnormal wear. Focus on observing whether the tread depth is consistent on both sides.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Polo for several years. The original tires are usually Michelin Energy Saver or similar models, mostly in size 185/65 R15, which are fuel-efficient, quiet, and comfortable, perfect for city commuting. Later, I switched to Goodyear EfficientGrip, which offers better grip on wet roads and is very practical, though slightly noisier. I recommend choosing all-season tires to adapt to seasonal changes, especially avoiding summer-only tires in snowy winter areas. Remember to regularly check tire pressure and tread wear, and get a wheel balance before long trips. This can extend tire life by thousands of kilometers and prevent sudden issues affecting driving safety.
