Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Tire Sizes, AWD Vehicles
| Note the following regarding AWD vehicles: |
| Only tires having the same size and are manufactured by the
same manufacturer and have the same profile may be used on the
front and rear. |
| Different rolling circumferences will lead to tension on the
drivetrain and increased tire wear with possible damage to the
drivetrain. |
| This also applies to front and rear tires that are worn
differently. In this case, install tires with a larger tread
depth. |
