What is the most suitable tire size for the Tiguan?
1 Answers
The original equipment tire specification for the Volkswagen Tiguan is 235/50-R18-97V. Any tire with the same specification parameters can be used. The spare tire size is T145/80R18, where 235/55R17 indicates a tread width of 235, an aspect ratio of 55, and a tire diameter of 17 inches. Check the tire production date to confirm if it is expired. The production date is located on the side of the tire and is represented by a 4-digit number. The last two digits indicate the production year, and the first two digits indicate the production week. The typical service life of a tire is about 5 years. If it exceeds 5 years, the tire is considered expired and should be replaced promptly. Methods to determine if a tire needs replacement: Check if the tread wear is close to the wear indicator. Generally, the wear mark height for passenger car tires is 1.6mm. When the tire tread depth wears down to 1.6mm, the tire should be replaced.
