Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Tires, Storing
WARNING
| Stored tires must not come in contact with fuel,
oil, grease or chemicals under any circumstances.
Otherwise, the material in the tire will be damaged by
chemical reactions which are not always visible. |
| This may lead to life-threatening situations when
the car is driven. |
|
| However, tire damage occurs only when the reaction time of
the chemicals is long. If a few drops of fuel land on a tire
during a fill-up, this is harmless. |
| Tires mounted on wheels can be stored flat, stacked on upon
another. When doing this, always ensure that wheels are clean
and dry. The air pressure should be raised to a maximum of 3 bar
(43.5 psi). |
| Tires without wheels are best stored standing vertically. If
tires lie stacked upon another for longer periods of time, they
will be strongly pressed together. This makes mounting more
difficult because the tires do not lie on the bead seat. If the
tires are stored standing vertically, it is recommended to turn
them every 14 days to avoid severe flattening. |

WARNING
Run-flat tires must be replaced after they have gone
flat.
