What tyres do/did you use on your Touareg?

Fitted a set of Pirelli Scorpion STR tyres this week to replace the ATRs (which gave 55000km). I'll let you know how they go. Cheers. Geoff

My car came with both 18's and 19's ,i just bought some 275/45-19's for $375 each (Dueler sport) i was pretty stoked with that as some shops wanted soooo much more. I'll be fitting A/T's to the 18's before next winter, Hankooks or similar. This thread is very helpful to someone that was only used to buying 35 inch mudders for a patrol every few years

Here is another tyre option. I can't say how many km this tyre already done because it was on my customer's Treg; he bought the car with them and already done over 10,000km.

Still had plenty of tread reamining.

Just to freshen up this tread. I fitted Pirelli Scorpion ATR 245/65/R17 and they now have 35,000 on them. I am rotating a set of 5. Showing some signs of wear but still plenty of life left. I have been pleased with these, noise, holding in the wet and off road performance all seem OK to me. Will report again when they need replacing.

Hi all,

Newbie here. My '07 facelift came with Yokohama ADVAN ST 255/60R17 on the back and some cheapies (that I can't remember what they were on the front). I replaced them and got the Yokohamas replaced all round and absolutely love them. Unfortunately due to a few punctures being I haven't had a chance to see how long they last but as far as tyres go I rate them as the best I've had on any car. They have the highest speed and load rating out of any tyre I've considered (W speed and 110 load). So they're great on the highway for noise and good if you're towing. I've also done some light beach work on them and haven't had a problem (at full pressure too).

They've been $345/each each time I've bought them which I think is pretty reasonable.

Dredging up a thread that hasn't had much action for a while.

Our Touareg is now approaching 45,000km and the OE tyres (275/45 R20s) are on the way out. Fronts 95% gone, rears probably 85-90%. About to have 45k service and i'll suspect they'll push the "tyres are due" line so i'll get a quote off them (which will almost certainly be a total ripoff).

Anyone have any recent recommendations / pricing / experiences on the 20in size?

I'll take that as no recommendations then!
