Uneven tire wear (VW Beetle)

Uneven tire wear is most often caused by too little or too much air pressure, but can also be a consequence of errors in wheel installation and balancing, poor condition of shock absorbers, wheel rims, or brake drums.

Before any trip, the first thing you need to do is check the air pressure in your tires.

Important! Air pressure should be checked on cold tires, as driving causes the tires to heat up and the pressure inside them to increase. Do not release some air from hot tires to achieve the "correct" pressure.

When tire pressure is high, the center of the tread wears out the most.

Tire pressure

Tire size	Pressure, bar (atm)
	Average load		Full load
	front	rear	front	rear
5.60-15 4 PR, 6.00-15 L4 PR	1,1	1,9	1,3	1,9
155 SR 13	1,3	1,9	1,3	1,9

Note: When using winter tires, increase the air pressure in all tires by 0.2 bar. This is also recommended before long highway driving at high speeds.
