NickS Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have a 3 year old 3.0V6 TDI Touareg. Love the car but hate the tyres.... I really can't make sense of taking a 4x4 and sticking sports road tyres on it so I am looking at alternatives that would still be sensible on a run but would give more grip and puncture resistance. My guess is that I will need to replace the wheels too as I don't want to get into bodywork and suspension mods or change the overall diameter which would upset the speedo and gearing. The present tyres are 275/45 R19. Any ideas about what to do or where to go for advice (forget VW!)? Thanks. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
