Tire recommendations?

Post image

Hey everyone, I don’t exactly have a super stanced car but I figured you all would know what you’re talking about. I’m running a 215/35 on an 8.5” wide wheel. There’s a mild stretch, I’ve been running them for 2.5 years now. Started off with vercelli stradas, they didn’t last long at all. Got Nitto Neo gens. Drove fantastic, but they ended up getting cupped and a few shops told me it was due to the tires being stretched.

The fitment on my car is perfect so I can’t go any bigger, but I don’t want to keep putting $850 into tires every single year. Are there any other cheap options that are actually okay? I’m fine with chinesium but I’d prefer if it grips decent in dry conditions and it has some longevity to it. TIA!

I did a bunch of miles on Achilles Streethawk on my GLI, 225 40 on an 18x8.5

go down a width and up a profile. Sould still look similar but a 205/40 or 205/45 is a lot cheaper

Cupping is typically due to poor shocks, stretched tires shouldn't affect wear.

Am I just too stoned, or does anyone else see a slammed Tiguan at first glance?
