Cooper › Tires

Grip:
Noise:
Ride comfort:

Recommend a switch to "Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring" tires. I have a 2011 Tiguan SE. Replaced my stock 17-inch Continentals after 7,500 miles because they were too noisy and I had 2 flats within a month. Did considerable research on all-weather tires before I settled on the Cooper CS5 . . a new unique tread design and rubber compounds. There was a 100% improvement in my SUV's handling, as well as a soft, quiet ride. Now have 54k on this SUV, and my W-rated tires remain almost like new.

Pros: soft, quiet ride

Cons: too noisy, 2 flats

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

Mileage: 7500 km

Grip:

A very competent "All Weather" tire would be Nokian WR G3. It probably won't have the traction as a dedicated winter tire, but will be better than an all-season tire. as it still has the Mountain-Snowflake logo indicated severe service.

Pros: better than all-season tire

Cons: less winter traction

Power:

The wife's TDi died a couple of times on her just after she left the parking garage at work... It was deemed to be a small amount of water that had gotten into the intercooler that was sloshing around & would coincidently block the port, a check valve & new intercooler were the fix.

Pros: check valve, new intercooler

Cons: water in intercooler

Ride comfort:

I replaced the Yokos with 215/65R-16 Yokohama AVID Ascend tires. No complaints with them. It has a very high treadwear, which we need because the Tig is our workhorse vehicle.

Pros: high treadwear, no complaints

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

On my 2010 S, I quickly replaced the stock Scorpions with Yokohamas in 225/65-16 and it worked great. We have rough roads here, and it really helped.

Pros: worked great, helped with roads

Grip:

Dedicated set of Michelin XIce XI2 in 215/65R16 - AWD Highline Tig. Picked up a set of dealer take-off oem 16x6.5" tig wheels. Toronto winters with many trips to the cottage / snow belt. The offset / narrow width does result in an inboard look, but easily fixed with some spacers.

Pros: good for Toronto winters

Cons: inboard look (offset/narrow)

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

Pros: better response at 1400 RPM

Cons: engine still vibrates

Dust:

I saw the same thing on our car. We are right under 4K miles and it seemed very ODD to me. Also def a lot of break dust. I have to wash the car/wheels at least once a week because they start turning dark grey.

Cons: a lot of brake dust, premature wear

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

Mileage: 6437 km

Cranking:

Ive noticed during the day on a lunch run, when I release the pedal to pull away from a stop sign or light, the engine judders hard and lunges me forward somewhat aggressive. I think this feature really puts a strain on the starter too.

Cons: engine judders hard
