VW Type 4 (411) Tyres
- Longstone recommends fitting the 155 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 for a Volkswagen 411 & 412.
- The ideal tyre for a Volkswagen 411 & 412 Estate is the 165 SR 15 Michelin XZX for a Volkswagen 411 & 412 Estate.
- For these tyres we offer the Michelin 15E innertube.
- Our period Innertube Guides state which models transitioned to tubeless wheels, and when. The Type 4 was entirely tubeless by 1972.
- We do not have a record of wheel types from before 1972, the early Type 4 was likely released on tubeless wheels, but we don't have hard evidence of this.
- If you have a pre-1971 Type 4 with OE tubeless wheels please get in contact so that we can update our information.

History of the Volkswagen Type 4
Built between 1968-1974, the Volkswagen Type 4 was a mid-sized car that came in 2-door & 4-door saloon versions and 3-door estate. The 411 was Volkswagen's largest passenger vehicle coupled with the company's largest engine, but both the 411 & 412 retained Volkswagen's signature rear-wheel drive, rear-engined air-cooled design. The 411 would run until 1972 when it was replaced with the 412 which differed in having a 1798 cc engine over 1679 cc of the 411 and twin carburettors and halogen lights.
