Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

            depends how you drive. i've got the conti's and will be able to get 60k comfortably at this rate, but my tiggy is stock, and i drive fairly conservatively.

                For daily driving I drive fairly conservatively, I open up every now and then with a bit more spirit but that's about it.

                  I'm looking at replacing my tyres soon - the original continental contisports on standard Highline rims.

                  It's about 4000km off 30,000km and I'm not surprised but a little disappointed they are not lasting longer.

                  Has anyone got any tyre brands and models to suggest? I do like the way the ContiSports feel and handle - just wished they lasted longer.

                    A lot of people have had good mileage with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde. Though if pushed you’ll find the limit of the tyre. They’re a comfortable, quiet, higher mileage tyre but you do trade off some grip at the limit.

                    I’m currently running Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 5’s now and performance is improved over Pirelli but still too early to tell how they will wear, however having run the F1A3’s previously I’m expecting 40,000+km or so from the set.

                      Is there an official VW document regarding

                      1) How frequent (no of km's) you need to rotate the 20 inch Tyre's on a Tiguan Highline Rline ?

                      2) The rotation sequence (i.e. front to back, diagonal etc) for the 20 inch Tyre's on a Tiguan Highline Rline ?

                        Front to back never diagonal

                        Tyres are usually recommended to rotate at 10,000km intervals

                          It depends on the tread pattern whether you have a directional tyre or asymmetric.

                          The directional tyre will have an arrow marking direction of rotation and can only be fitted on one side. The tread pattern is designed to run one way only. These can only be swapped back to front.

                          The asymmetric tyres can be run either way and allow a 4 wheel rotation. Most tyres these days are asymmetric except for some higher end performance tyres are still directional.

                            If non-directional tyres (eg: assymetric or "standards"):
                            Main drive axle straight back/forward.
                            "lazy" axle to the diagonal opposite.

                            It's like yoga for tyres where if you rotate in one direction, you need to rotate the other way.

                              I must be old school then as way back we were told that radials would run lumpy if made to run "backwards" so have always done mine on same side Got plenty of running so cant be too bad to do it that way

                                The best I can describe it is that the alignment of the "rubber" and the various belts when new is IIIIIIII and on the drive axle they gradually go ////////, so you reverse the rotation with the goal of eventually getting back to IIIIIIIIIII.

                                That's the internal advantage. Externally it can assist in removing feathering or mild saw-toothing.

                                That's the "How can I explain this to my Mum" version.

                                There are many resources out there. Here is one.

                                Combine that with "best on rear" and some compromises eventually have to be made.
