Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear
I've got Goodyear Reliant All-Seasons on mine currently. Got them for $62 a piece last Novermber, and have good luck with most Goodyear and Cooper tires.
Tires did extremely well and im very impressed with the Goodyear eagle F1 super sports, no greasiness, super communicative, and got gripper as heat went up.
If you’re keeping the stock 225/55R17 size I highly recommend Goodyear Viva 3s. They did amazing all Michigan winter delivering pizza, never got stuck. Solid All-Seasons
One thing to note with 200TW autocross tires is that they usually will heat cycle out prior to the tread being done. For RE-71R's, that was always at about 125 runs with mine when I could get away with 200 runs and ~5k or more of street miles.
You'll never go wrong with Bridgestone
I have a 2012 accord and have Goodyear weather ready on them. They currently lasted 71k and still have some tread left. I live in PA, had no issues during winters.
walmat sells goodyear tires for cheap. i use them and they are fine for normal non sporty cars.
My opinion is that these are very mild offroad tires. Better than regular street tires with slight improvement for off pavement. But on my Tacoma, the tires would spin quite easily in loose dirt going up hill on an 6-8 degree grade.
With 4000 miles on the car, I thought I would 'Upgrade' with a decent reviewed set to replace the stock continentals... After a 3-hour install I became somewhat horrified as to what I had done...even with the proper size, the car visually and actually sits lower, the fluid steering has stiffened exponentially (even normal mode), and the car feels so much heavier. The Tiguan now struggles (and burns gas /loses economy) to accelerate in regular conditions and the braking feels laggard. It is a night and day difference that makes the OEM Continental ProContacts actually seem like a good tire. Do not purchase these tires unless you want to turn your Tiguan into a constipated low-slung Jeep.
I have seen Goodyear tires (that have not been ran flat) that are just completely destroyed. The rubber compound and the foundation of the tire is just complete garbage. Most Goodyear tires that fail are only a few years old, and should have many miles left in them. The pre-mature cracking, and ply separation in these tires is extreme!
