In same boat, but thinking only 245 or 255/55

265/65 look beefy!

I'm swapping to 20s once these factory tires go bad. 19s are just an oddball size.....

my daughter has a 2010 Tiggie and man do I want to get her a Taos...does IT have an extending armrest??

I had to wait for the s/o to get home since I wasn't sure. I can confirm the Taos DOES NOT have an extending armrest. Guess VW decided not a single suv needs it.

My recommendation is go the opposite direction.

The car came with 19's so I just swapped the tires over to the englishtowns but now the car is sitting on the Austin's from my GTI and I wish I had from 19 to 18 sooner. The ride is so much smoother on the 225/50/18.

I'm actually debating going 17" next and getting a tire with a nice fat sidewall.

Oh on the R I went 18s quick. 255/35r18. So much better ride. The tiguan has enough wheel arch room and suspension that I think some 20s with a 255/40 should be about right.

Trying to figure out what tire I want to use on these wheels. Those pictured are 265/65/18 Yokohama geolanders that I picked up off Craigslist for cheap just to test fit, too bad the guy only had two of them.

D. Gage.....where you at in VA?

I am LOVING that tire size look the more I stare at the pics......what size wheels are those though?

17's on SUVs?

18's on Rs?

Too many of you guys prioritize function over form.

For shame.

Did you see this post?

Big fat tires on a suv IS form. The function is gravy on top.

Stafford. Wheels are 18x9 ET45 with 15/20 spacers in the pics. This wheel/tire combo is 13lbs lighter PER CORNER vs the stock wheel and tire.

Alright.....OEM wheel on my '23 Tiggie is 18", 235/55.

Would going 255/55 look bad, since it's not an 8.5" wheel?
