I guess everyone will have their own requirements re wheels/tyres etc.. but we too will wait until the factory Hankooks wear and then replace them with probably the BF Goodrich A/T (which we have had over 100,000km wear out of a set on our Toyota Landcruiser) or maybe a set of Cooper ST which just did over 60,000km (half worn) on our Nissan Patrol.

I have heard of jjj - but we are just looking at doing some tracks and tours that are "SUV" rated and then use a larger 4WD for a little more hard-core or rougher stuff.

Comfort of 'passenger rated' tyres on road is great but you should see how they react to tree roots or bits of other sharp timber on a track - therefore 'LT' rated is the way to go.

I see that BFG make the A/T in 215/70x16 which works out at +22mm diameter over the standard. I know that +15mm is max legal, but I reckon getting caught for this on a Tiguan would be close to nil. Have driven around for ages with 33" or larger tyres on larger wagons, with no-one ever saying anything (depends on how the car is driven too).

I'd be keen to see a few pics of what others may have done and get feedback re diameter, fitment, their choices, any rubbing etc...
