Gen 2 Tiguan tyres thread

[tek199]

Australian version of the tyre test using Hyundai Tuscon in 2020
Conti PC6 won, and going past tests Conti appears to be consistently in the top3. For me its always been about wet weather handling and braking as that's usually the only time you are nearing the limits of the tyre adhesion in day to day driving.

Thanks mate, good find. Good to see it includes the noise level comparisons as well.

Regarding the Conti PC6, it had the 'lowest' thread depth which I assume will mean it will last a lot less.

Found this on the site as well Should you rotate your tyres?

I am considering the Michelin Pilot Sport 5's as new boots for the Wolfie next year ... good drip wet and dry and increased longevity ... 255/40/R20

What is ACTUALLY new with the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 - Tyre Reviews and Tests

Buy Michelin - PILOT SPORT 5 (255/40 R20) with Afterpay Online | Mobile Tyre Shop $489 each as at May 2022

What about the Michelin Primacy 4 (1st) or Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV (2nd) from the review?

[FastMitch]

It also has decent wear (for a performance tyre) making the $/km a lot better than some of the other options which will wear out in 20,000km (Bridgestones, Continentals, etc).

Which would you recommend between these 2 for a Tiguan 162 Highline: Michelin Primacy 4 or Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV ?

Personally I'd go the Michelin after experience with Michelin Primacy 3 ST's for their lack of road noise, fairly good grip (I don't hard) in the wet and life.

Unfortunately my experiences with Goodyear over 43 years of motoring have been memorable for the wrong reasons.

I have a 132 Comfortline which has stock 215/65r17 wheels.

Recently needed new tyres so put on some Pirelli Scorpion AT+ 225/65r17. Tyres fit fine with no rubbing issues.

Thought I’d share in case anyone else was trying to work out what else fit.

Factory 215/75r17 wheels are you sure ? It should be 215/65R17 .

Incase anyone wondering apparently pirelli scorpion verdes available again from September
I’ve been holding out for them as I think they have nearly lasted twice as long as my conti sports

Ah yes, you are correct, both tyres are 65's... I'll update the previous post so it's correct
