Certainly no expert but I have BS RE003's on mine and found them a huge improvement over the original conti's that were on it, very good in the wet and dry, also good value for money with the 4 for 3 deal they run quite often. I'm running 18s so not sure of what's available in your size though.

I ran S001's on my old Tig and although the tyre is great, the wear/life is not fantastic. I only got 20,000km out of a set.
If you need that exact size (235/55R17), I'd look at the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport. Not sure if these are on 4 for 3 though...
If you want one on special you'd have to go for an S001 or RE003 in 225/55R17 which is slightly thinner/smaller tyre. However both of these tyres do not meet the minimum load/speed rating for the car (99V) so would not be legal and may void your insurance.Last edited by tigger73; 15-11-2017, 06:29 AM.

What type of tyre do you want & what budget?
If you want a touring tyre that lasts forever, Michelin Primacy 3 & Primacy HP are around $260 each. Latitude Sport are $240
Goodyear F1A2 are ~$210carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic

ah true looks like 235 50/18 tyres i have on mine are 101w so might not be a good option for 17" rimsComment

Yes each tyre size has different load/speed rating within the same model range so you really need to check the specs for the size you're looking for.

Recently fitted Falken ze 914 as they have a 60,000 klm guarantee to my Tiguan. The Continentals lasted 38,000 kms and were a great tyre. These Falkens have been on for 8,000 so far very happy, same quietness as the continentals and a very similar performance.Comment
