Rating 4.0

I've been running 18" Conti Pure Contacts for about 8k miles now. Initially, I didn't love the tire but they handled good so I decided to keep them. Recently had them rebalanced and rotated which that made a difference. Ride is firmer than Michelin's or OEM Contis but this is one of the best handling tire I've owned on any of my cars. Hydroplaning resistance and snow traction for an all season tire is excellent.

Pros: handling good, snow traction excellent
Cons: firmer ride
Mileage: 8000 km

MICHELIN Tires

  • Grip:
  • Noise:
Rating 5.0

I took a look at all the options people noted here and ended up with the Michelin Pilot A/S 3. I have to say the new tires are a lot better then the Pirelli's that were OEM on the car, cornering is much sharper and noise is non existent.

Pros: sharper cornering, no noise

Rating 4.0

I read up some online and decided to order new ignition coils. Took a few days, but I got four new coils and threw them in. Again, problem solved it seemed. No more EPC light, misfire codes didn't come back and no more rough starts.

Pros: problem solved, no misfires
Cons: slight misfires during acceleration
Mileage: 104607 km

I put on A/S 3s about 3 weeks ago, 235/50R18. I am more than please. They are silent, and the ride is so much smoother than the factory Pirellis. Almost fells like I don't have sport suspension. Traction and stability are superb. Stopping on rain soaked roads is as if the road is dry.

Pros: silent, smooth ride

Continental Tires

My 2013 Tig with continental contact-pro tires has just lost the 2nd tire to sidewall failure at only 30k mi. First was a blowout, thankfully while parked. Second was a slow leak. No known issue that would have caused side-wall failure. Never saw that before.

Cons: sidewall failure, slow leak
Mileage: 48280 km

rainx Washer fluid

After buying Rain X 2 in 1 fluid and filling our Tiguan's reservoir up for a trip my wife took, she came back with the warning light on to refill the :banghead:washer tank. It wasn't empty but I topped it up and the light would still not go out.

Cons: warning light stayed on
Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan
