Hi guys.
It's time to replace 2 tyres on my 2018 132tsi in Perth which came with Hankook 215/65/r17. My local doesn't have the Hankook but offered conti 5 (i believe non suv given the size) for $195 each. I'm wondering if I should track down the Hankook's or are there better options? I'm not too fussed about price given these are way cheaper than the larger size tyres I used to own so don't mind paying a bit more for a better tyre. The car does 80% city driving and the rest highway and is rarely used offroad.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Mr Gee. They all look fairly similar from the reviews both positive and negative feedback. Pirelli Verde seem to review well 4/5 yet only 54% (a bit higher for the all terrain) would buy again which is a bit weird.Originally posted by mr gee View PostComment

The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3’s are very good for the price, and rate quite well on that guys reviews. I have these tyres on my Golf GTI and am happy with them.Comment

I didn't know they had a evo 3, I have been happy with the 2s so far. The Goodyear looks pretty good to.Originally posted by Lucas_R View PostComment

My Highline came with Continental Conti Sport Contact 5 255/40 R20.Originally posted by mr gee View Post
Your review site is for 235/55 R18.
Can the Highline take the 235/55 R18 size or does the review hold for 255/40 R20 sized tyres?
I've also seen posts here with different sized tyres like the 215/65 R17. How do we know what size tyres the Tiguan can take?Last edited by marcuskmt; 20-04-2022, 08:30 PM.Comment

My Conti SC5 looked a little worn at 40K so checked out the usual but these were in the mid $400s. Then my tyre guy told me he could get Conti CSC6 Mo for #350 ea. No contest..so far, they have been exemplary and quieter to boot.Tig 162 R-Line; Audi TTComment

I am considering the Michelin Pilot Sport 5's as new boots for the Wolfie next year ... good drip wet and dry and increased longevity ... 255/40/R20

Australian version of the tyre test using Hyundai Tuscon in 2020
Conti PC6 won, and going past tests Conti appears to be consistently in the top3. For me its always been about wet weather handling and braking as that's usually the only time you are nearing the limits of the tyre adhesion in day to day driving.

Thanks mate, good find. Good to see it includes the noise level comparisons as well.Originally posted by tek199 View Post
Regarding the Conti PC6, it had the 'lowest' thread depth which I assume will mean it will last a lot less.
Found this on the site as well Should you rotate your tyres?

Personally I'd go the Michelin after experience with Michelin Primacy 3 ST's for their lack of road noise, fairly good grip (I don't hard) in the wet and life.Originally posted by FastMitch View Post
