Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Tires, Bringing to Mounting Temperature
Caution
| There is a risk of damaging tires with strong heat. |
| Never heat the tires with a heater or a hot air gun. |
| Warm tires with warm water or warm air (maximum 50
°C (86 °F)). |
|
| The optimum mounting temperature of a tire is between 15 °C
and 30 °C (59 and 86 °F) on the inside of the tire. The
temperature of the tire surface during the warm-up phase should
not be considered as the interior temperature of the tire. |
| – |
Store cold tires one day before installing in the workshop
on an insulated surface a wood pallet or something similar.
Store the tires separately so that the surrounding air can warm
them quickly. |
| Warm-Up Time for Urgent Cases |
| Tires with an interior temperature over 0 °C (32 °F):
minimum of two hours at minimum 19 °C (66.2 °F) |
