Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Tires with Rim Protector
| The tire industry produces tires with rim protector for
light alloy wheels (rim protector). The rim protector prevents
damage to the light alloy wheels caused by contact with curbs. |
| Using tires with rim protector on steel wheels with wheel
covers may lead to the loss of the wheel cover while driving.
The cover separates from its secure seating due to the flexing
of the tire. |
WARNING
| When installing tires on steel rims, ensure only
tires without rim protector are mounted. |
