Tires Goodyear or Giti
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.
I got over 55,000 out of the factory Giti so I bought another set from the dealer.
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.
Stay with the tiger paws. They aren’t as good as the original Goodyear WeatherReady but have high tread.
Cc2 will last way longer than any other competitor. Goodyear weather ready is great for first 20k miles then it will become trash.
They gave me a new pilot and I immediately noticed these tires were not as smooth, comfortable or quiet as the CC2s I had been used to so for me I would say yes. These are just poor quality tires.
The one I personally actively avoid is Goodyear. I've only ever had one decent set of them and the rest have dry rotted faster than any other set I've bought. Their performance wasn't awful but even burning through a set of tires every 24-30mos, I shouldn't be starting to worry at 18mos when the tires are sporting lots of visible dry rot.
