As an auto mechanic, I've dealt with numerous tire issues on the 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan. This model typically comes standard with 215/65 R16 tires, while the premium version uses 235/55 R17. Tire specifications include width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter - where 215 indicates 215mm tread width, 65 means 65% aspect ratio, and R16 represents 16-inch wheels. When replacing tires, prioritize original specifications to ensure handling stability, as deviations may increase fuel consumption or affect suspension system longevity. Check the door frame label for exact specifications, inspect tire wear and pressure biannually, and consider seasonal tires like winter snow tires for enhanced safety and practicality when replacing.
