Volkswagen Amarok Tyre Replacement Parts

Yes, all Amarok variants leave the factory on tyres, so this is a straightforward part to source from a breaker. The Amarok has been sold in the UK in two generations: the Mk1 (2010–2022) and the Mk2 (2023-onwards, built on a platform shared with the Ford Ranger), and tyre sizes differ between them, so always confirm the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall or door-pillar placard before ordering. Common Mk1 fitments include 255/60 R18 and 265/60 R18 depending on specification, while the Mk2 moved to larger diameter options, so quoting your registration to the breaker ensures they pull the correct size.

Both of those years fall within the Mk1 generation (2010–2022), which broadly shared the same wheel and tyre architecture throughout, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the rim diameter and tyre dimensions match exactly. However, Volkswagen did introduce revised wheel specifications and optional larger rims at various points during the Mk1's long production run, so the safest approach is to match the size stamped on the tyre sidewall (width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter) rather than relying on the year alone. Tell the breaker your registration and the tyre size you need, and they can confirm whether the pull from their 2016 vehicle matches your requirements.

Trim level itself does not determine fitment — what matters is the wheel rim size that was specified on the donor vehicle, because the tyre is sized to the rim. A Highline or Aventura may have been optioned with larger alloys than a Trendline, meaning the tyre profile would differ even within the same model year, so always check the tyre sidewall size rather than assuming trim-to-trim equivalence. Cosmetic differences like alloy style are irrelevant for fitment purposes — only the three numbers describing width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter need to match. Confirm the donor vehicle's tyre size against yours with the breaker before committing.

The Mk2 Amarok (2023-onwards) is a fundamentally different vehicle from the Mk1 (2010–2022), sharing its platform with the Ford Ranger rather than the previous VW architecture, and it was launched with different factory wheel and tyre specifications. Crossing that generation boundary with a used tyre is only possible if the rim diameter, width, and aspect ratio are an exact match on both vehicles, which is not a safe assumption to make. Route this directly to the breaker — give them both the registration of your Mk2 and the tyre size you need, and let them verify whether any Mk1 pull happens to share the specification.

Engine size does not directly dictate tyre size on the Amarok, but higher-output variants were frequently paired with larger optional wheel packages from the factory, which changes the tyre profile needed. Drivetrain layout (4MOTION four-wheel drive versus rear-wheel drive) does not in itself change the tyre specification, though all four corners must carry the same size on a 4WD vehicle, making it especially important to match exactly. The most reliable approach is always to work from the size printed on your tyre sidewall or door placard, and give your registration to the breaker so they can cross-reference the correct specification.

Used tyres can be legally sold and fitted in the UK, but they must meet minimum legal tread depth (1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the width around the full circumference) and must be free from cuts, bulges, or structural damage. When buying from a breaker through Findapart, ask them to confirm the tread depth and visible condition of the tyre before it is dispatched, as quality varies between dismantlers. It is also worth having a tyre fitter inspect any used tyre before it goes on the vehicle, as internal damage is not always visible externally. Always match the size, load index, and speed rating exactly to what is specified for your Amarok.
