Tires BRIDGESTONE or GT Radial

Turanza T005 definitely is the best option, and that is a *very good* tire.

Bridgestone weatherpeak on my 2021. Seems to be a great tire for all kinds of weather

Got 4 new Bridgestone two years ago for about $500

With balance. Free tire rotations and patch job. Don’t buy junk. They are rated for 50-60K. Driven maybe 30k have 5 mm tread depth left even mostly city driving.

RS11's are amazing tires, used them before going to slicks. For road use the don't last that long though.

There's also the Bridgestone WeatherPeak, which is priced like the Michelin CrossClimate, but it seems like it has better snow and ice traction.

I like Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Great dry grip and excellent wet grip.

RE71r - on all four corners of my S6. Really sticky and ride well.

After a massive blowout on 422 here in PA a few months back, and having HUGE bubbles in the sidewalls of two other tires and a large gash (no idea where this came from) of the spare that went on, I replaced all four with a set of Bridgestone RE980 AS+'s. What a difference in the way the car rides and grips. You can feel the Bridgestone's handle the bumps SO much better than the stock Conti's and there's much more grip.

Gt radial is definitely a cheap option, but I would say they perform decently for the price.

With 4000 miles on the car, I thought I would 'Upgrade' with a decent reviewed set to replace the stock continentals... After a 3-hour install I became somewhat horrified as to what I had done...even with the proper size, the car visually and actually sits lower, the fluid steering has stiffened exponentially (even normal mode), and the car feels so much heavier. The Tiguan now struggles (and burns gas /loses economy) to accelerate in regular conditions and the braking feels laggard. It is a night and day difference that makes the OEM Continental ProContacts actually seem like a good tire. Do not purchase these tires unless you want to turn your Tiguan into a constipated low-slung Jeep.
