Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual / Wheels and Tyres Guide - General Information / Tyre wear / Permissible deviation in tread depth

  Note
These restrictions apply, because an excessive difference in the rolling circumference may result in overheat in the gear oil.
The difference between the front and rear axle must not be more than 3 mm.
