Repairing Your Volkswagen Tiguan Limited Tire
Urban areas are booming. New roads are being built, and old ones are getting a face lift. It seems construction is everywhere these days! That means more tire-damaging road debris and flat tires. Firestone Complete Auto Care is here for you when your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited needs flat tire repair or inspection. Our tire technicians can determine whether it's safe to plug and patch the tire, or whether it needs to be replaced. To start, we’ll consider the location of tire damage, the type of issue, the size and scope of the damage, and the amount of wear on your tires.
If we determine that your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited tire can be safely repaired, we'll follow three basic steps to repair it: (1) Take the tire off the wheel for easy inspection, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) re-seal the inside lining of your tire so that air won’t escape.
Volkswagen Tiguan Limited Tire Replacement
Not all 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited tire damage can be repaired. Tires with less than 2/32nd inch tread remaining can't be repaired, no matter how minor the damage. At this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced. If your tire is not yet worn down, there are other forms of damage that simply can’t be repaired, like a tire with a puncture larger than ¼ inch in diameter; a puncture that lies outside the tire tread area; a tire with multiple punctures that are less than 16 inches apart; and major cuts or separated treads.
Depending on what Volkswagen recommends for your car, you’ll want to consider purchasing one new tire, two new tires, or a new full set. Manufacturers of AWD vehicles, for example, often recommend replacing all four tires at once because AWD systems need uniform tires to operate properly. But, if you’ve recently replaced your tires and they don’t have significant wear, a new set might not be needed. If you can replace your damaged tire with the same type, brand, and size as the others, you may be able to save costs and only purchase one replacement. Your tire technician can help you decide how many tires to replace and the kind of tire to purchase.
Do I Need a Tire Inspection for My Volkswagen Tiguan Limited?
Some tire issues can cause you to have a flat, but other damage isn't so noticeable right away. Bent tire rims, bulging tire sidewalls, leaks under your car, or noise from your exhaust system can all point to tire-related damage that should be addressed quickly. Bring your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited in for a tire inspection so we can assess the damage and help keep you safe on the road.
Volkswagen Tiguan Limited Tire Repair Questions
-
How soon should I have my flat tire repaired? A flat tire that’s not addressed can take a terrible toll on the rest of your car. Until you have it repaired or replaced, drive your Tiguan Limited as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
-
Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Volkswagen's flat tire? Fast fixes are a mixed blessing. They’ll help you get your Volkswagen Tiguan Limited to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long. Using a temporary sealant may also void a Bridgestone or Firestone tire warranty.
-
Can’t I just keep my spare tire on for a while? While this sounds great in theory, keep in mind that most spare tires are not designed for distance or speed. The compact spare tire that most likely sits inside your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited is intended for only a few days of use, so don’t use it as a substitute for getting your tire repaired.
-
Who can repair Volkswagen Tiguan Limited tires? In most cases, your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care can handle your Volkswagen Tiguan Limited tire repair. Ultimately, the severity of the damage will determine if your tires can be repaired.
-
Why do the tires on my Tiguan Limited keep losing air? Possible reasons for your Tiguan Limited tires continuously losing air include a leaking valve steam, wheel damage, and a puncture or hole in the rubber.
-
Can I replace just one or two tires on my Volkswagen Tiguan Limited? Replacing all four tires on your Tiguan Limited is not always necessary. However, it is recommended that you replace tires in pairs or all four tires at the same time for safety and performance reasons. If you have two new tires and two worn tires, the worn tires may not grip the road as well as the new tires, which could cause your car to slide or lose control. Always refer to your vehicle owner’s manual since some vehicles require you to replace all four tires if there is a tread difference greater than 3/32”.
