Tires Falken or BRIDGESTONE
I had these on my Forester and loved them. My Crosstrek needs new tires and can’t wait to get these!!
Got these installed couple months ago. Great tires so far. Had KO2 prior and it’s night and day on the road noise especially most of my commute is highways. MPG same.
You're gonna love them. You can spin out in the snow with them if you want to, but they're very well behaved and handle Rocky trails and moderate mud no problem.
I've had mine for a month now I love them car drives different sounds different quieter smoother love them!
I've had them on my Crosstrek for 2 years now. They're great tires!
Got to 45k and replaced em with wild peaks and I’d 100% recommend them for looks and traction so far.
Was my favourite tyre. I tried the sc and the r11s back to back and felt much more confident on the r11s. I had less front wheel movement under braking and less slide from the rear so stuck with them
Just got Falken Trails. Really happy with them.
The Bridgestone RE780 AS is another excellent tire- I'd say it's nearly as good as the Michelin, definitely better than the BFG. Where it falls down is cost- it's about the same price as the Michelin PS A/S line of all seasons and does not have the same performance. Great in the dry, great in the wet- the dry grip is not as good as the Michelin.
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.
