What Tires Does the Tiguan Need?
2 Answers
The Tiguan requires tires from Michelin, Hankook, and Dunlop, as these three brands are the standard tire brands for the Tiguan. Below is relevant information about the Tiguan: 1. Body Dimensions: The body length, width, and height are 4506mm, 1809mm, and 1685mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2684mm. 2. Safety Features: The Volkswagen Tiguan comes standard with ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, ASR traction control, EDS electronic differential lock, EPB electronic parking brake, auto-hold function, TPR tire pressure monitoring system, front dual airbags, and front side airbags.
When it comes to changing tires for the Tiguan, the key is matching your daily driving habits and vehicle needs. We also have a Tiguan at home, mostly used for city commuting. I usually opt for all-season tires in the size 235/55 R18, such as the Michelin Primacy series, which offer strong grip and stability in rainy or snowy conditions. Before installation, remember to check the original factory information on the tire sidewall—don’t just settle for any size. For maintenance, I recommend checking the tire pressure monthly, keeping it around 2.5 bar, which helps extend tire life and save fuel. If you’re planning long trips, don’t overlook balancing and alignment to avoid steering deviations or uneven wear. Tires have a significant impact on driving safety, so when replacing them, choose a reputable brand—it’s worth spending a bit more.
