What is the tire size of the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
Tiguan L comes with three tire specifications: 235/55R18, 235/50R19, and 255/45R19. In fact, the tire sidewall displays many key pieces of information, including the tire size. For example, 205/55R16 indicates a tire width of 205 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55, and compatibility with 16-inch rims. The recommended tire pressure is also marked on the tire sidewall, typically distinguishing between winter and summer recommendations. The Tiguan L's body dimensions are 4712 millimeters in length, 1839 millimeters in width, and 1673 millimeters in height, with a wheelbase of 2791 millimeters.
I've been driving the Tiguan L for over a year, and the tire size is typically 235/55 R18, which is standard for most configurations, including the 2023 model. The 235mm width provides excellent stability and grip, especially during high-speed cornering; the 55 aspect ratio ensures a certain level of comfort, making bumps like speed bumps less jarring. If you frequently drive long distances, I recommend regularly checking tire wear and pressure, measuring the pressure every six months on average, keeping it between 2.3-2.5 bar to avoid increased fuel consumption or unstable steering due to improper sizing. I've also found that switching to energy-saving tires can save some fuel, but the original factory size offers the best balance between handling and noise issues.
