1 Answers
Tiguan tires come in two specifications: 235/55R18 and 235/50R19. In 235/55R18, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, and 18 represents the rim diameter of 18 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. In 235/50R19, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, and 19 represents the rim diameter of 19 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The Tiguan uses tires from brands such as Michelin, Hankook, and Dunlop, featuring a five-spoke radial black and silver dual-tone wheel design, with the spare tire being non-full size. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow the steps below: Retrieve the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen them, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn rather than the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, then completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and tighten them by hand until all nuts are snug. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, tires also have the following common data marked on them: Tire cord material: indicated by Chinese Pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire, facilitating practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.01F".
