Volkswagen Jetta 2005 Workshop Manual page 251

indicates that the tyre is intensively absorbing heat from its
environment through the process of water vapour in the air
condensing out on the tyre surface.
• If the layer of condensation is in liquid form and leads to mois‐
ture on the surface, it should be dried off with a cloth otherwise
the continuation of the warming process might be curtailed by
cold due to evaporation.
Warming times:
♦ Assuming a minimum room temperature of 19 °C and a tyre
temperature of 0 °C or more, a tyre should be kept at least at
19 °C for at least 2 hours
♦ Assuming a minimum room temperature of 19 °C and a tyre
temperature of below 0 °C, a tyre should be kept at least at 19
°C for at least 2.5 hours
Warming recommendations:
♦ If possible, tyres should be stored in the workshop 1 day before
they are fitted (order preparation)
♦ Store on an insulated base, pallet or the like, as high up as
possible
♦ Position the tyres individually to allow the warm air to „circu‐
late" around them effectively
♦ Wipe off condensation
♦ Never heat with a radiator or hot air blower!
