Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What does the chassis code 7L mean for tyre choice?

Can I downsize from larger wheels on my Volkswagen Touareg?
Some trims of the Touareg can be downsized to a smaller OEM-approved wheel, which often gives better ride and lower tyre cost. Volkswagen usually publishes approved alternative sizes โ check the handbook before changing wheel size.
What should Volkswagen Touareg drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly โ especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.

What wet grip should I look for on the Volkswagen Touareg?
