vs
Tires Uniroyal or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
on my 2015 I am riding in a set of Uniroyal AS Tiger paw 225 / 45 / R18. I really like them. I bought them new on eBay with stickers for about $600 (4) and had them mounted and balanced for $200.
Pros: really like them
We have a base model with no snow mode, but I've had a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw "Ice & Snow 3"'s on for the last few Winters, and they performed pretty well. I never felt unsafe, even driving through some pretty sketchy stuff.
Pros: performed pretty well
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I ended up getting an Uniroyal summer tire for it as it was considerably cheaper than the Conti. Anyway, from tests I gathered that it is supposed to be top tier in wet condition and mid at best in dry. I have used for over a year now as my situation changed and ended up keeping the Corolla for the time being. I used it around 15k km so far in wide variety conditions, from 0 Celsius up to 40 and so far have zero issues. There is no sign of wear and tear, thread is still deep, no dry rot and driving never felt unsafe or had any other issues.
Pros: top tier in wet
Cons: mid in dry condition
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 15000 km
I’ve had these tires on my Subaru for the past five years and they’ve been great. 60k on them and still some life left.
Pros: great, still some life
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 96560 km
The Tiger Paw is still one of the best designed SUV/Truck tires made, and it's been around for a long, long time. I run them on my SUVs. Love 'em.
Pros: best designed tires
had so much fun today! no videos unfortunately but first in class and almost upset an STH guy, lol the car did great on the 240tw, 41psi. sport mode with esc fully off. lots of grip even though i was overdriving a bit.
Pros: lots of grip
Cons: overdriving a bit
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Uniroyal has never let me down. Plus, it's the only brand that you can still get whitewalls from without specially ordering them, so, bonus
Pros: never let me down
I'm running 205 50 17 on oem vw Gavia 17x6.5 et 46 for Winter and 225 45 17 on oem vw Valencia 17x7.5 et 51 for Summer. These are the recommended oem sizes.
Pros: recommended oem sizes
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
The ride on 20" are quite harsh when compared to all other smaller wheels sizes with the same tires. I got 20" for both summer and winter, rosario ones, obviously with different tires and the winter tires with have a softer widewall and generally more rubber not being a low profile tires rides much better than the summer tires.
Pros: winter tires ride better
Cons: 20" ride quite harsh
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Not really the best tires around they don’t last long
Cons: don't last long
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
