vs
Tires Uniroyal or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
GM used to put Uniroyal Tiger Paws on their trucks, and I don't know what the number was, but it must've been high because those damn tires last forever and still looked brand new. I think I finally tossed them at 120K miles.
Pros: last forever, looked brand new
Mileage: 193121 km
I know TCL hates them, but I think the Uniroyal Tiger Paw is a good tire for the money. It's not high performance, but they are adequate, quiet, and can realistically last the 70k miles for which they are rated.
Pros: adequate, quiet, long lasting
Cons: not high performance
Mileage: 70000 km
I have no experience with Tiger Paw tires but the Uniroyal Rain Sport 3 is one of the best tires I've driven.
Pros: one of the best
Vehicle:
Honda
I picked up some uniroyal winter snow and ice II. On the cheaper side, made by Michelin. I ran them before on my BMW 325xi. Never had an issue. I would think the same for our tiguan is 4 motion.
Pros: no issues, cheaper side
Vehicle:
BMW
Just drove my mk5 through a winter storm. (quite literally) It performed very well! It has identical handling characteristics to the mk6 Golf. As others have said, it strongly depends on the tires.
Pros: performed very well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I get 37mpg city in my tdi, and the best mileage I ever got on my rabbit (2.5 mkv) was 32mpg with 15's and ultra low rolling resistance tires.
Pros: stellar mileage
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've had several cars of the $150 variety. The best was a 1990 VW Fox that I bought for $150 from the original owner. I then proceeded to drive it about 150K before I spent another cent on it besides oil tires and gas.
Pros: drove 150K miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Fox
Mileage: 150000 km
Not in my experience. I run 32/32 and my tires now have 35k on them, and are good for another 5k or so more no problemo. Wear is about as even as I've ever seen for a tire this far into its useful life. I messed around with a lot of different pressures before settling on this combo, and it's what works best for me.. and definitely no adverse wear issues.
Pros: even wear, long life
Cons: requires pressure experimentation
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 56327 km
My last vw, jetta, the rears always got scalloped eventually, even with rotations...now on the CC, just had the tires again rotated with the 30k service and the noise from the front is annoying as hell...that droning reverbish kind of sound.
Cons: noise from the front
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 30000 km
Uniroyal Tigerpaw inner lining exploded from over inflation.
Cons: inner lining exploded
