    I tend to buy the same as OEM tyres if replacing just two, and put the new tyres on the front wheels

    BTW, mine comes with the Pirellis as standard on my R-line

    Bumping this

    My Sportline (235/45R20) is up for new tyres soon. Tossing up sticking with the original Continental ContiSport Contact 5 with the goo inside, or trying something else. Unfortunately only an 8" wide rim so can't use 255/40R20 like the R-Line.

    Might grab a set of 20x8.5 or 9" wheels so I can fill the guards more and get access to a wider range of tyres, but currently undecided.

    Has anyone tried something different to the OEM fitted Continentals and Pirellis on their 20" wheels, both Sportline and R-Line? The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S looks to be worth a go as something different for a replacement, also checking out the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 3 which are on sale in the 255/40R20 size for a great price ($229 today on Tyresales.com.au) and possibly worth jumping on at that price for a full set.

    I’ve had Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2’s before and would rate them highly. Decent wear for a performance tyre. Also heard good things about the Michelin PS4S except that they hardly ever go on sale.

    I’ve got the stock Pirelli Scorpion Verdes on my Sportline at the moment and they are great for everything except the most spirited drives. Good tyre life, reasonably quiet, decent in wet. I’ve done 32,000km on them and still a decent amount of tread left.

    I swapped the Pirelli Scorpion Verde 235/45R20 onto my new rims (20x9) and they’re a bit stretched with zero rim protection. Next set will definitely be 255/40’s.

    Great feedback about the Goodyear's. Have found them elsewhere for $249 as the regular price, so looking more likely them on a set of new wheels will be happening. Why aren't the Kapstadts 8.5" wide?! Argh.

    That's some good stretch happening there! Those brakes...

    Kapstadt are 8” otherwise the R-line boys would be upset.

    Yes it’s just doable but my wife has already marked a couple of the rims Gen 2 Tiguan tyres thread

    These are 6 pot Alcon calipers painted red. Also 380mm rotors. Talk to Brakes Direct locally for supplying all the bits.

    There was a set for sale on here but I’m pretty sure they got sold a month or so back.

    Shame isn't it. By far the best looking stock wheel in the range.

    I’d prefer the suzuka’s if everyone didn’t have them

    Managed to destroy both right side tyres the other day (courtesy a vicious pothole) on my 2019 Tiguan Allspace 162TSI R-Line. Front tyre ended up with a hole in the sidewall I could poke my index finger through. Rear sidewall was bulged and close to blow out. Slight damage to both rims

    Tyres were the original Pirelli Scorpion Verde 255/40 R20 101V with just over 6000 km on them. I had them replaced like for like. Had the work done at an inner Melbourne tyre specialist; apparently this particular tyre is rare, there were only two left of wherever the central warehouse is that tyre stock is kept.

    2 x $400 fitted plus $75 for an alignment
