Tires MICHELIN or Falken
My new 2024 Tiguan SEL had a vibration. The Pirelli tires on it would not come into spec on the road force balance machine. I put on Michelins and no more vibration.
I’ve had the Falken Wildpeaks for 55k miles and have LOVED them. Pretty much the best tires I have ever owned IMO. Durable, capable, great in rain, good in the soft stuff (sand mud snow) and I had no issues.
I have cross climates 2 in Canada, driving a Murano AWD. Great tires in all conditions, dry, rain, snow, except ice.
Michelin CC2 is a great long lasting tire that is great in just about every condition except very deep snow. It was a big upgrade from the General RT43's we had previously had on our '13 OB. We have General 365AW on our '23 which are not quite as good in the rain, but are a lot cheaper.
Love my Wildpeaks. They’re great in all conditions and light off-roading. Driving them in snow, they were hands down the best out of the 3 other tires I’ve had on my OB and Audi wagon.
This is a common question in the sub and you’ll generally hear a lot of recommendations for newer all weather tires such as Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Bridgestone Weatherpeak (installed on mine). These are premium all weather on road tires that’ll do pretty well in light/moderate snow and very good touring performance.
The E rated tire will ride ever so slightly harder, but the drastically increased life will make up for that.
Can't recommend Michelin CrossClimate 2's enough. Has been perfect in all weather for me including freezing cold, snow, wet, and summer temps. They are not noisy and wear well.
I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.
I have a set of PS4S’s that I have on right now. I find the Michelin’s to be horrible in the rain.
