Winter wheel sets for VW Phaeton

The VW Phaeton (3D series) is one of Europe's most technically sophisticated luxury sedans. Developed with a focus on maximum comfort, quietness, and serenity, the Phaeton has exceptionally high axle loads, massive braking systems, and – depending on the version – a complex 4Motion all-wheel-drive system.

To ensure the Phaeton provides the same stability, smooth running, and safety in winter as it does in summer, it must use special winter wheel sets with high load capacity, tested brake clearance, and OEM-accurate rolling circumference.

Reifenshop Landshut offers winter wheels that are 100% compatible with all Phaeton models.

🔧 Why the VW Phaeton needs special winter wheel sets

1. Very high axle loads

The Phaeton is one of the heaviest luxury vehicles:

• extremely high static load

• reinforced rims necessary

→ Winter rims must be tested for high load capacity.

2. Gigantic braking systems

Especially for the:

• V8

• W12

• 4Motion

→ Only winter rims with tested brake clearance offer sufficient clearance.

3. Air suspension & comfort tuning

The air suspension requires:

• precise rolling circumference

• vibration-free winter tires

→ The smallest deviations affect driving comfort & control.

4. 4Motion requires identical rolling circumferences

All-wheel drive models require:

• identical tire circumferences per axle

• even tread depth

→ Deviations can cause damage to the center differential.

5. Luxury sedan = Noise level extremely important

Winter tires must:

• have a quiet tread design

• have low rolling resistance

• offer a stable sipe structure
