The Tiguan L utilizes two types of tires: one is 235mm55r18 inches, and the other is 255mm45r19 inches. The size specifications of the car tires are marked on the side of the tires. 235 represents the tire width of 235 millimeters, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire is 55, r signifies that it is a radial tire, and 18 denotes that it can be mounted on 18-inch rims. The Tiguan L is produced by SAIC Volkswagen, equipped with two engine options, 1.8t and 2.0t, across a total of 7 models. The vehicle dimensions are 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1673mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2791mm.

I've been driving the Tiguan L for a while, and it usually comes with 18-inch tires, with sizes like 225/55 R18 being quite common. The original tires might be from brands like Continental or Michelin. Choosing tires depends on personal habits. If you often drive in the city, I recommend opting for quiet tires to reduce noise. If you frequently drive on highways, go for anti-skid tires with strong wet grip. I've also tried switching to all-season tires, which don't slip in the rain and are quite hassle-free. Remember to regularly check the wear and tear, and inspect the tread depth every six months. If it's too shallow, you should replace them immediately, as it affects braking distance and safety. If you've just started driving a new car, don't rush to replace the original tires—they're usually of good quality. Consider upgrading after a few years.

My Tiguan L uses 17 or 18-inch tires, which provide excellent stability. When replacing tires, I opted for a cost-effective brand, and buying online saved me a few hundred yuan compared to physical stores. Choosing tires requires considering both size and driving conditions. If you often drive in rural areas, All-Terrain tires are more durable and resistant to stones, while All-Season tires are more suitable for city driving. After my last tire change, I noticed a slight reduction in fuel consumption and a smoother driving experience. A reminder to everyone: don’t just focus on price; ensure the tires meet the original factory specifications to avoid affecting the suspension system. Check the tire pressure every season, maintaining around 2.5 bar, to extend tire lifespan.

Safety comes first when changing tires. The original tires for the Tiguan L are typically 17 or 18 inches, with common specifications like 215/65 R17. I recommend using high-quality tires that are wear-resistant and anti-skid, providing more peace of mind when driving on highways during rain or snow. Regular maintenance is crucial, as both overinflated and underinflated tires can accelerate wear—check them monthly. Consider seasonal factors; winter tires are best for snow conditions due to their superior anti-skid performance. If you notice unusual noises or vibrations, promptly inspect the tire tread and balance.
