Find Tyres for Volkswagen Caravelle

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Can I mix tyre brands on a Volkswagen Caravelle?

  It's safer to fit matching tyres in pairs (axle-by-axle) on a Volkswagen Caravelle. Mixing brands or different tread patterns across an axle can affect handling balance — particularly in wet conditions.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Volkswagen Caravelle in the UK?

  The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the Volkswagen Caravelle.

• Where do I find the load index for Volkswagen Caravelle tyres?

  Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Volkswagen Caravelle.

• How do I find the right tyres for a Volkswagen Caravelle?

  Start with the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — and use it as your baseline for the Volkswagen Caravelle. Match width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before considering brand or pattern.

• What pressure should the Volkswagen Caravelle run?

  The correct pressure for your Volkswagen Caravelle is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.
