Amarok Wheels and Tyres

[drstaind]

Black Delta 18" rims wrapped in Cooper Zeon LTZ rubber 285/60/R18
Came off my 2014 Highline before we traded it in.
Only slightly rubbed only on full lock when reversing.
Cant fault the tyres...looked aggresive and never had a problem with them.

Still have them sitting in my shed !!

Would you be interested in selling them? I pick up my new highline next week. Had delta’s with nitto’s on my original rok and they were great.

Hi all,
After much debating I have finally chose to go with some Falken Wildpeak AT/3’s for my 2019 V6 Highline. I have a question for the learned amongst this group however.
The Highline came with Bridgestone Duellers from the factory (255/60R/1.
I am fitting the Falkens at a slightly different size - 265/60R/18.

My question is, is there any kind of speedo calibration required for fitting the new size tyres?

Any advice and/or pointers you can provide will be appreciated

Your best bet is to check the speedo against a GPS. I find the speedo on a lot of VW product to have very optimistic speedometers. On my Octavia I could go 20mm bigger and still not need recalibration

I have run these for 80k km so far and just need replacing now. All factory speedo's read under to avoid liability from manufacturer. With these tyres, I can drive 113km/hr and camera doesn't flash even in averaging areas. GPS is the best test as the speedo difference is exponential. Slower speeds, it's closer, faster and its further out.

Hello,
I have recently picked up a MY19 Ult 580, which came with some aftermarket 20"s. Thinking about dropping the wheel size come tyre change time, anyone know how small a diameter the Ult 580 can take over the calipers? 17/18"
Ta,
Lindsay

AFAIK the 580's have the same brakes as the 550. A 17" rim will fit.

VW speedos run 10% fast so when it says 100kmh you will be doing 90kmh.
I fitted 10% greater diameter tyres to my 2014 to counter that difference.

If you don’t want to damage your front cv’s don’t do a suspension lift where the under guard to centre of wheel measurement is greater than 565mm unless you are going to install a diff drop. Some people still have issues even after the diff drop.
