I decided to replace mine with GoodYear ComfortDrive tires. I felt that they best fit this type of vehicle and the Tiguan is the same just smaller. There was a very noticeable difference. Tires are silent and much more comfortable the way it soaks up the bumps and road imperfections. They perform excellent in the rain and have a lot of grip.
Check out Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2
Dude… my brand new Goodyear Comfortdrives were $1,000.
Wife and I have a set of Good Year Assurance all weathers on our Jeep Compass, wife's daily driver. Best tires I/we have ever had on a vehicle, the traction is crazy good on snow and ice in Calgary, no issues what so ever heading out west of the city.
I just went with the Goodyear Electric Drive 2s. Only driven a few hundreds miles on them so far but efficiency seems about the same as the OEMs and rain performance has been better.
I swapped my Dunlops over to my VA, and in colder temps (dry) they feel harder/slick compared to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 that was on there. Not sketchy or anything, but I could feel a difference. Temps were about 30°F.
Goodyear duratrack cant say i love them but definitely better puncture resistance
I too have Assurance tires that lasted about half the amount of miles they are warranted for.
It’s definitely the crap tires. Same on my ‘25 Rogue. Bought with my 3 miles of test drive on 1/3/25… now at 18k hwy miles the tread wear indicators are showing. I think they will need replaced at 20k.
In contrast - 2 of them were slashed at 1k miles. I replaced those two with Goodyear MaxLife. 17k miles later, the Dunlops are almost gone, the Goodyears show little to no wear whatsoever.
Dunlop Grandtek PT21’s are TOTAL CRAP.
I have two sets of these on a pair of 2013,2015 Ford Fusions. 225-50-17.
One tire got a sidewall bubble at a couple months old. Walmart refused to help because I didn't have them install the tires but I suspect they would have come up with other reasons like road hazard to avoid a warranty claim. I was able to talk to Goodyear and have one of their company stores inspect. The cause was a crack at the inner liner splice and air migration into the carcass. They refunded me my purchase price.
A tire on my other car had the same problem in almost the exact same spot also less than a year old. Same result.
Tires are currently 2-3 years old and they have weathering and sidewall cracking. (Parked outside in Michigan). Multiple tires are developing something that looks like a heat ring to varying degrees.
