OK so tyre prices have increased quite a bit over the last 3-4 years, so your relatively small budget isn't going to get you too far when looking for expensive tyres unfortunately. Add on to this that the Tiguan uses an unusual sized tyre (therefore they are more expensive) which isn't helping.
The 50% off sale that Mycar will have in the next few weeks will probably be your best opportunity to get a good quality tyre at a 'cheap tyre' price.
Without knowing your location, I dont know if you have access to places like Tempe Tyres (for Sydney folk) where you can get cheap tyres. Im not sure in Melb, Brissy or Perth have places like this, but Sydney has various (St George tyres / Tempe tyres etc).
Jax Tyres and Bob Jane dont have anything in your budget unless you want a garbage no-name Chinese tyre, and all of the traditional tyre promo's they offer on the decent brands are only if you buy 4 tyres.....and you only want 2.
Kumho HP71 as mentioned in our chats previously. This tyre is a comfort/touring design, so smooth ride but not as good grip as the PS91 KUMHO CRUGEN HP71 255/40R20 101W Tyres | Tyresales
Kumho PS91 is a more sporty tyre, so better grip but perhaps a slightly rougher ride: KUMHO ECSTA PS91 255/40R20 101Y Tyres | Tyresales
Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2 are an older model tyre but they are another option. I have the newer version of these on my Audi SQ5 and they are a good tyre: Hankook 2554020 101H H452 VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 | Tyres | Tempe Tyres
Continental6Q Contiseal if you wanted to keep the same brand: Continental 255/40R20 101T ContiEcoContact 6 Q ContiSeal | Tyres | Tempe Tyres
But with that budget there isn't a great deal to choose from unfortunately. But if you want the best tyre for that kind of money then probably go with the Pirelli's via the MyCar black Friday sale.
For reference, my Audi SQ5 also uses an unpopular tyre size, so when I replaced them last year I moved from a 255/40/21 to a 265/40/21 which is a very common thing to do with this car. Doing so opens up many more tyre options (brands and models of tyre) and the tyres are on average about $80 cheaper each because the 265/40/21 is a more popular tyre size. I still had to pay $515 per tyre though for the Hankook's but thankfully I waited for a 'buy 4 and pay for 3 deal' so the cost was about $1,600 or so in total with a wheel alignment done at the same time also.....still very expensive but better than full price which would have been about $2,100.
