Best Tires for Volkswagen Tiguan

I replaced the Yokos with 215/65R-16 Yokohama AVID Ascend tires. No complaints with them. It has a very high treadwear, which we need because the Tig is our workhorse vehicle.

On my 2010 S, I quickly replaced the stock Scorpions with Yokohamas in 225/65-16 and it worked great. We have rough roads here, and it really helped.

Dedicated set of Michelin XIce XI2 in 215/65R16 - AWD Highline Tig. Picked up a set of dealer take-off oem 16x6.5" tig wheels. Toronto winters with many trips to the cottage / snow belt. The offset / narrow width does result in an inboard look, but easily fixed with some spacers.

Summer tires on my Tig are Michelin Pilot Supersports.. and I have to say, best tire I have every used :thumbup:

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.

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.

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.

I got a set of the Michelin xi3 on my tig last winter Very very happy with them .

Nordfrost 5 (no studs) for the Tig (4motion), Marangoni 4ice on the Passat. I like the Nordfrosts better (had the Nordfrost 3 on the Jetta and loved them there too).

I had Pirelli winter tires on my '11 Tiguan. They sucked right from the get go. No traction.
