What brand of tires does the Tiguan use?
2 Answers
The tire brands for the Tiguan are Michelin Primacy LC Bo Yue, Hankook Dynapro HP, and Dunlop SP Sport 01V, with tire specifications of 235/50R18 and 235/55R17. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground, typically installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain driving performance. The Tiguan is a compact SUV produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, offering four versions (Urban, Trendline, Elite, and Flagship) across seven models, equipped with either a 1.8TSI or 2.0TSI engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle comes standard with ESP stability control, EBD electronic brake-force distribution, and ASR traction control across all trims.
I've been driving my Tiguan for over two years now. The original tires are Continental brand, specifically the ContiPremiumContact model, size 215/65 R16. These tires are quite quiet for city driving and offer good grip, with minimal slipping in rainy conditions. I remember the salesperson mentioning when I bought the car that Volkswagen chose these tires for their durability and fuel efficiency, typically lasting around 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers under normal use. For those who frequently drive long distances, it's recommended to regularly check tire pressure and tread wear. I replaced mine once last year with the same brand's all-season tires to avoid winter driving hazards. Tires are crucial for driving safety, so it's important to replace them as soon as the tread wears thin—never skimp on that expense.
