My family's Tiguan uses 235/55 R17 tires, but the tire sizes do vary across different model years and trim levels. The base version might come with 215/65 R16, while higher trims or sport editions could use 235/50 R18. You need to pay special attention to the factory specifications when replacing tires, because incorrect sizing can affect the suspension system and ABS operation. I once accidentally got the wrong size, and it caused noticeable steering wheel vibration at highway speeds. I recommend checking the label on the door frame or the vehicle manual—they always print the exact size there. Also, a heads-up: there's quite a price difference between different tire sizes; an 18-inch one can cost 400-500 yuan more per tire. If you're on a budget, you might consider going with the base trim size.

The tire size for the Tiguan depends on the specific model and production year. For example, older base models often come with 215/65 R16, while newer mid-to-high trim levels commonly feature 235/55 R17. From my experience in maintenance work, I've noticed many people aren't aware that just a 5% difference in tire size can cause the odometer to deviate by over 3%. This means for every 100 kilometers driven, the odometer undercounts by 3 kilometers, which can throw off maintenance schedules in the long run. When choosing tires, don't just focus on rim size - consider the sidewall thickness and contact patch comprehensively. 16-inch tires with thicker sidewalls provide better comfort over speed bumps, while 18-inch tires with thinner sidewalls offer more stability during cornering. If you frequently drive on rough roads, smaller-sized tires tend to be more durable.

The Tiguan commonly comes with 235/55 R17 tires, but the base model is equipped with 16-inch wheels and 215/65 R16 tires. The numbers on the tire are quite meaningful: the first three digits indicate the tread width in millimeters, the next two percentages represent the sidewall thickness ratio, the 'R' stands for radial construction, and the last number is the wheel diameter in inches. Don't casually change tire sizes when replacing them. Although larger wheels look good, they are prone to bulging on bumpy roads. I've seen someone who switched to 20-inch wheels and ended up with two tire blowouts in three months. For daily driving, sticking to the original factory specifications is the most hassle-free option.

What is the difference between L4 and H4 engines?

Engine L4 and H4 differ in their arrangement: L4 refers to a conventional inline 4-cylinder engine; H4 refers to a horizontally opposed engine. An inline engine means all cylinders are arranged side by side in a single plane, with a simple cylinder block and crankshaft structure, and uses a single cylinder head. It features lower manufacturing costs, high stability, good low-speed torque characteristics, and lower fuel consumption. A horizontally opposed engine means the engine pistons are evenly distributed on both sides of the crankshaft, moving left and right in a horizontal direction. This reduces the overall height and length of the engine, lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, and makes driving more stable.
