Hi guys.
It's time to replace 2 tyres on my 2018 132tsi in Perth which came with Hankook 215/65/r17. My local doesn't have the Hankook but offered conti 5 (i believe non suv given the size) for $195 each. I'm wondering if I should track down the Hankook's or are there better options? I'm not too fussed about price given these are way cheaper than the larger size tyres I used to own so don't mind paying a bit more for a better tyre. The car does 80% city driving and the rest highway and is rarely used offroad.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Mr Gee. They all look fairly similar from the reviews both positive and negative feedback. Pirelli Verde seem to review well 4/5 yet only 54% (a bit higher for the all terrain) would buy again which is a bit weird.

The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3’s are very good for the price, and rate quite well on that guys reviews. I have these tyres on my Golf GTI and am happy with them.

I didn't know they had a evo 3, I have been happy with the 2s so far. The Goodyear looks pretty good to.

My Highline came with Continental Conti Sport Contact 5 255/40 R20.

Your review site is for 235/55 R18.

Can the Highline take the 235/55 R18 size or does the review hold for 255/40 R20 sized tyres?

I've also seen posts here with different sized tyres like the 215/65 R17. How do we know what size tyres the Tiguan can take?

My Conti SC5 looked a little worn at 40K so checked out the usual but these were in the mid $400s. Then my tyre guy told me he could get Conti CSC6 Mo for #350 ea. No contest..so far, they have been exemplary and quieter to boot.
