Volkswagen ID.4: Winter tires

Standard summer tires provide limited traction on snow and ice. For improved safety, winter or all-season tires are recommended for the Volkswagen ID.4 when temperatures drop below +7 ºC (+45 ºF) or when driving in winter conditions.

This recommendation also applies to all-wheel drive (4MOTION) versions of the Volkswagen ID.4, as tire grip remains the most critical factor for safe driving.

The performance of winter tires decreases significantly once the tread depth falls below approximately 4 mm (3/16 inch), even if the tires still appear usable.

The following applies when using winter tires:

• Follow all local legal requirements for winter tire usage.
• Install winter tires on all four wheels of the Volkswagen ID.4.
• Use winter tires only under appropriate weather conditions.
• Use only tire sizes approved for the Volkswagen ID.4.
• Ensure all winter tires have identical construction, size, and tread pattern (exceptions may apply in specific cases).
• Observe the maximum speed rating of the installed tires.

Speed restriction

Winter tires installed on the Volkswagen ID.4 have speed limits defined by their speed rating.

A speed warning can be configured in the Infotainment System under vehicle settings to help maintain safe driving speeds.

For V-rated winter tires, the allowable speed and required tire pressure may depend on the specific drivetrain configuration. Always consult an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for accurate specifications.

Volkswagen recommends professional consultation to ensure safe and compliant operation of the Volkswagen ID.4 in winter conditions.

WARNING

Do not rely solely on the improved traction of winter tires when driving the Volkswagen ID.4.

Driving too fast or aggressively in winter conditions can still lead to loss of control and serious accidents.

• Always adapt your speed and driving style to road, weather, and traffic conditions.

When temperatures rise above +7 ºC (+45 ºF), summer tires provide better efficiency, reduced wear, and lower noise levels for the Volkswagen ID.4.

After installing winter tires on the Volkswagen ID.4, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) must be recalibrated.

Winter tires may have different speed and load ratings compared to summer tires installed on the Volkswagen ID.4.

For approved winter tire sizes and recommendations, contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Proper tire selection, rotation, and monitoring are essential to ensure maximum safety, efficiency, and performance of the Volkswagen ID.4 throughout all seasons.
