2 Answers
The original tire model for the Volkswagen Tiguan Trendline edition is 215/65R16, while the original tire model for the Flagship edition is 235/55R17. The Volkswagen Tiguan is a compact SUV produced by SAIC Volkswagen. Taking the Tiguan 2017 300TSI Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Silk Road Trendline edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2684mm. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.8TSI engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, with a top speed of 192 kilometers per hour, a maximum power output of 118 kilowatts, and a maximum torque of 250 Newton-meters.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan for several years, and the original tires are Continental ContiSportContact in the size 225/65 R17, which is quite common and fitted on most base models. I find them very stable, especially with good grip during city driving. The advantage of original tires is that they perfectly match the car's suspension system, extending their lifespan. Of course, if you opt for a higher trim, the Tiguan XL might come with Bridgestone Turanza tires in 235/50 R18, which are larger and provide better stability at high speeds. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and wear, and getting a wheel balance every two years to avoid noise issues. If you ever need to replace the tires, stick to the original model—don’t switch brands just to save a bit of money, as it can affect fuel efficiency and comfort. In short, the original design is optimized for overall vehicle performance, so sticking with it ensures peace of mind and safety.
