        That's what your manufacturer (VW) recommends for your vehicle:-)


        97 is the Load Index for a tire capable of carrying a maximum load of 1609 lb.


        R is the Speed Rating  (107mph? can't remember what was note I posted about this
        some time ago...)


        "Reinforced" is, of course, the sidewall construction...


        This is the **modern** tire rating system which replaces the old Load Range
        ratings.
