Initial impressions on the tyre are very good especially wet, snowy and icy grip performance. I happened to use the tyre in a heavy snowstorm with snow reaching up to 10-20 cms. The tyre managed to do well in these conditions.

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.

What Volkswagen Touran 1.5 TSI drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Premium price, sub-standard quality. My experience with Pirelli SF3:
I am extremely disappointed with my purchase of the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 (235/50 R19 103 W XL). I installed them on a brand-new 2025 VW Tiguan, and the vibrations above 110 km/h make the car almost undriveable.
I’ve ruled out any vehicle issues by testing with my summer set (perfectly smooth), yet Pirelli rejected my warranty claim. I took the car for a Hunter Road Force Elite test, and the results are shocking: 125 N of Road Force on the tire (clearly marked in RED by the machine).
I had to replace one of the tires and pay for it. It did not help another Hunter test and other tires went off. I will have throu them away.
In the premium segment, a force of 125 N is a definitive manufacturing defect, not an 'acceptable variation.' It’s unacceptable that a customer has to pay for a professional diagnostic to prove a defect that Pirelli refuses to acknowledge. Is this the new 'Premium' standard?

Extremely nice price to value ratio. Decent grip in dry conditions, great grip in wet conditions. I already put 10,000 kms into them. They are still doing great but of course you can see that they started to wear. No dry rot, no weird cracks. In conclusion I am very happy with them.
