Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 235-55-17 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp 45,000 miles December 1, 2025
Excellent wear and snow performance. Would never go back to summer tyres.

Landsail LS388 AS 235-75-17- Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp 1,000 miles January 4, 2025
Got 4 tyres to replace my factory fitted Bridgestones, was a bit doubtful of these landsail 388 tyres after reading some of the reviews, but the tyre fitter was positive. And he was right perfect for my type of driving.

Sailun Atrezzo Elite 235-60-17- Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp 7,000 miles June 16, 2021
Dry and wet grip like my previus Nokian Hakka Green, but less noisy. Cosy drive, handling in tarmac great but some more accuracy for pavel roads please. Nice price, my first real chinese brand tyres.

Michelin CrossClimate 225-45-17- Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp 25,000 miles February 1, 2021
Replaced oem Bridgestone which were worn out at 15000 miles. The Michelin are showing about 50% wear at 25000, and this alone would guarantee repurchase when necessary. But handling, comfort and ride also excell, the car feeling very different and inspiring confidence in all situations, both wet and dry.

Bridgestone Weather Control A005 255-40-19-V Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp December 22, 2020
Very noisy and with important wear after only 30000km. So, take into consideration that you can use them for maximum 2 winters - at least in Eastern Europe. I will not buy them again!

Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport 235-50-18- Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp 24,000 miles November 23, 2020
These came VW factory-fitted as summer tyres on my second-hand Tiguan. Driven all summer on them and now just changed to the winter tyres...what a difference. I had assumed it was the Tiguan's set-up and probably partly is, but now with the winter tyres on I can hear/feel just how noisy and imprecise the Bridgstones were. I do a fair amount on rough winding mountain roads and never felt confident to really attack the road because I couldn't predict how the car would react because it was jumping around and usually understeering. On the straighter "main roads", the noise was really too loud....the Tiguan has a lot of sound-proofing but even so it couldn't deal with these tyres and overall I felt much happier in my 22 year-old Ford Focus. The positive....these tyres have done 24000 miles of summer driving and still have 6.5-7 mm tread. I'd really like not to put them back on next spring but that's a lot of money to "throw away"

Continental ContiSportContact 5 SUV 225-45-17- Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp 28 miles July 25, 2020
Great tyre - handles really well. Very little road noise. Good comfortable ride. Very good breaking - have had to pull up sharply a couple of times and the tyre has really responded. For an expensive tyre though, I am a little disappointed with the total kilometers (just 45,000km). I have regularly rotated the tyres, kept them balanced and front end aligned. I don't think they have had any tough driving conditions, and so the only reason I probably won't buy them again, is I'd like a tyre with better mileage.

Dunlop SP Sport 01 235-55-17-W Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp 28,000 miles April 20, 2017
Superb tyre, good in all conditions, Rear tyre's still have 5.5mm tread, front wheels down to 3mm. Less noise than Continental, or Bridgestone. Still a sharp looking tread would definitely recommend them to anybody with a Tiguan.

Jinyu YU61 235-50-18- Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 170hp 2,000 miles March 25, 2014
For the reviewers who call these "crap" do not know what they are talking about -- in my 50 years of motoring I always opted for Good Year or Michelin or one of the top marks -- well as for the JinyuYU61 they are made by the same company as the Evergreen tyres -- the quality is every bit as good on appearance as Michelin -- they look as good as any Premium brand.
As for performance on my VW Tiguan they are very quiet, good grip in both wet and dry -- so far I have done 2000 miles and I will predict they will do some 30,000 plus miles -- one very delighted customer -- highly recommended tyres and will certainly buy them again. Price for 4 tyres fitted was £278
