Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli
I'm on the Cinturatos and although they are a marginal tire the car is rock solid on the freeway.
I've gotten Michelin Pilots fitted and can't go wrong, they're pretty decent tires.
+1 on PSS. Best all around tire with a perfect blend of dry and wet grip, turn in response, longevity, road noise, etc. I'm going to be grabbing my second set in a few days after getting 22,000 miles on my first.
I run Michelin X-Ice on my stock 17" wheels.
Went with the P4 four seasons plus. the tires are night and day better than what was on there. Ride is smoother, much quieter, better wet traction.
I've had very good luck when I have michelins on the car. Much better grip/wear/noise than the factory goodyears.
I put Cinturato P7 All Season Plus's on my mother's Tiguan and overall these seem very good. They are noticeably quieter than my Michelins on coarse roads. Performance is good, but they seem to be wearing a little quicker than anticipated
Michelin is better than Pirelli IMHO. I've had Michelin PSS tires on my Audi and they are great performers.
Bought 2012 TDI sport with 18" wheels new at dealer 2 months ago. Vehicle sat on dealer lot for 5 months or so. Test drove vehicle, steering wheel shook enough to see it at any speed over 50 mph. THIS was probably from flat spots on tires from sitting, we bought vehicle and dealer agreed to put new tires on and replaced with exact same Pirelli's that vehicle was equipped with.
My car came with the P-Zeros from the factory and they are the worst tires I've ever owned.
