FAQs
What does the 100W XL rating mean?
The 100 is the load index (maximum weight per tyre), W represents the speed rating (up to 168 mph), and XL stands for Extra Load, indicating a reinforced construction.
How often should I check the air pressure?
It is recommended to check the air pressure at least once a month and before any long road trips.
Are these tyres suitable for winter driving?
The Vittos VSU 01 is designed for general wet and dry road conditions; it is not a dedicated winter tyre and may not perform well in heavy snow or icy conditions.
Can I install just one new tyre?
It is highly recommended to replace tyres in pairs (front or rear) or as a full set to maintain vehicle balance and handling characteristics.
What is the best way to clean these tyres?
Use a soft brush and mild soap and water to clean the sidewalls. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the rubber compounds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance and longevity, the Vittos VSU 01 must be installed by a qualified technician using appropriate mounting equipment.
