New tyres on late June Tiguan delivery
My 125 has (finally) arrived at the dealer this week - having read this thread at my request they had agreed to try & not give me Hankooks (I use the car down the snowfields a bit was my argument) last I heard from them was all the cars in this shipment seemed to have Hanooks so I may have no choice. The reviews on their web site seem OK but you an always find a review which suits !
I Have a set of Bridgestones for sale (will split from rims), if you're interested PM me :)Quote:

I've had my 125 for 2 weeks. It's got Hankooks, they drive very well, are very quiet, and feel very smooth. They just dont look anything special... but I'll be upgrading to 19" soon, so am looking at packages to best suit.Quote:

Simon, how are those Ecstas going now that youve had them for a few weeks?

Looked at 18" and the tyres i want are expensive but i assume will last longer than the kumho's.
In the end i will probably get the kumho's as even if they wear down and need replacement twice as much, the only cost half as much so it evens out.
Got Hankooks on it as delivered ...... :frown:
Not too happy and told the dealer straight up that if I wasn't changing the tyres soon I'd make them replace it with others. Got fed the usual story that they have no control over what VW puts on in the factory ....
Now after a few 100kms they are not actually that bad. They are quiet and reasonably grippy.
Still replacing them after the 1000km service though .... :)
Our Tig ordered Feb, arrived Port Brisbane late May, took delivery 12 June, has Bridgestones.
