About the Volkswagen Taigo's tyres
The Taigo is Volkswagen SA's coupe-styled take on the T-Cross, built in Spain and sold here since mid-2022 with one engine, the 85 kW 1.0 TSI and DSG. The entry Life runs 205/60 R16 on 16-inch Belmopan alloys, while the Style and the popular R-Line run 205/55 R17 on 17-inch alloys. The optional 18-inch Funchal or Misano wheels, included in the R-Line Black Style package, take 215/45 R18. The spare is a 15-inch space saver.
Before you order, check the size on the sticker inside the driver's door or on your current tyres: derivatives and wheel options change the size. Read how to read a tyre size or when to replace tyres.
