Tyres

Yeah - I know. Let’s put it down to brain fade due to the heat or Christmas hangover

Mine front 2 replaced at 22k due to no rotation ever since new. Having Kumho now.

Which Kumho?

I replaced both the front tyres at 40k km due to bulging on one of them & rear tyres are still unchanged. I never rotate my tyres, should I?

Not too sure about Coopers on a car like this. I know they make an excellent off road tyre, tough sidewalls and durable carcass. They last a long time too but this is largely due to very deep tread depth and hard wearing compound. Great features in an off road tyre but not so great in a car designed to perform and handle like a late model Passat.

I have Cooper tyres on our Touareg and 2 Tiguans. On the Touareg the tread is only 1mm deeper than it was on Michelins. The CS5 Coopers on Tiguans have the same tread depth when new as Hankook tyres had.
Great tyres Coopers, good handling, quiet and long lasting.

Further to the discussion - I changed the Falkens out at 117500km. They gave me 52000ks. By the end they were a bit greasy in the wet. I decided to try the Coopers & they are CS5 Ultra Touring 235/45R18. So far have done 1000 kms - nice & quiet hold the road well. I’m running them @ 40PSI in the warmer months & will up this to 42PSI when it’s cold. Daytime temp under 17*c.

Running Hankook Ventis V12 235/35/19 on my diesel golf alltrack with 121kw and 370nm at the wheels so far i am on 37500ks

I have rotated the fronts to the back at 30k i think i should get 42 to 45k out of the set before needing to get new ones quite happy with that tire life as i do give it a bit

I run them at 36psi

Sounds reasonable

I replaced the P7's @ 55k kms. Now run 245 wide tyres instead of 235 in PS4's

For grip, they are a huge improvement over the P7's, though they do ride a little rougher.
