I was very happy with my switch down to 20 in wheels and Michelin Defenders. Slightly cheaper tires, more sidewall with better ride quality. Minimal impact range versus the 21" wheels and tires with aero covers.
I’ve had three sets of the Michelin Defender LTX m/s on my 2015. No complaints whatsoever.
Hi. I'm a tire nerd. I ran all-weather tires on my cars for years and would still be doing it except now I have space to store winters. Nokian and Toyo make amazing all-weather tires that don't have a ton of compromise in winter or summer. Just keep in mind that tread depth has a decent impact on snow so if they're at 3/32 depth in the summer you won't notice but 3/32 in the winter you will. They wear faster than modern touring tires. I'm on track to get 80,000km from my Michelin AS4 but only got 55,000km from my Nokian WRG4s.
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 went with the Crossclimate 3 Sport myself, and very happy so far. Haven\u2019t seen proper snow yet, but then we very rarely do where I live in Germany. Great in cold and wet conditions, and WAY better than a true winter tire when conditions are more favorable.
I have a Tiguan with cross climate 2s and I can also say they've been great. Especially in big rain storms.
Can't say enough good things about the CC2s. I do a lot of highway driving and they are rock solid in both cold and snowy weather.
Get michelin CC2. Excellent snow performance but you can also keep them on year around and expect 60k moles out of them.
Have the gy exhilarates, been good, but now discontinued, only had to replace 1 because of sidewall bubble.
The only thing I didn't put right was I bought good year tires and I'm regretting it. After my engine rebuild, the cheap tires are just too easy to spin in the rain.
