Find Tyres for 2017-present Volkswagen T-Roc (A1)

Frequently asked questions

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

• Is the Volkswagen T-Roc still on sale in the UK?

  As of the 2017-present window, the Volkswagen T-Roc is currently on sale in the UK. Tyre fitments listed here reflect UK-market specifications.

• Do I need SUV-rated tyres on the 2017-present Volkswagen T-Roc?

  SUV-rated tyres carry a higher load index for the extra weight and ride height. Match or exceed the original load index. If you do mild off-road, all-terrain (A/T) tyres trade some on-road grip for better unpaved performance.

• Are OEM tyres still fitted to new Volkswagen T-Roc cars?

  New UK Volkswagen T-Roc cars leave the factory with original-equipment (OEM) tyres specified by Volkswagen. When replacing, you can stay on the same OEM brand or move to an alternative provided the size, load index and speed rating match.

• Can I downsize from larger wheels on my Volkswagen T-Roc?

  Some trims of the T-Roc can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. Volkswagen usually publishes approved alternative sizes — check the handbook before changing wheel size.

• What wet grip should I look for on the Volkswagen T-Roc?

  For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
