Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S 265-75-17 Volkswagen Amarok permanent 4x4 20,000 miles September 23, 2026

Not an offroad tire, STILL manages to take me quite far on our logging routes and forest paths. I am working as a lumberjack and I was looking for a follow up tire after my bfg a/t ko2 with better wet road handling.
I have effectively exchanged solid offroad performance for much less scary on road performance, especially in wet weather.
It looses off road in deep mud or in deep sand. But in other offroad conditions it managed similar performance to my KO2
On road is far superior to KO2, especially in wet, cold or icy conditions.
Noise level superior to KO2
tread wear adequate.
Not a single puncture or defect so far. Working with heavy trailers as well.

Would highly recommend to all people using KO2. This KO2 tire scares me shirtless in rain on asphalt.

I already bought second set for my wife's car.

General Grabber AT3 265-60-18 Volkswagen Amarok permanent 4x4 December 2, 2025

The tires were a great all year round option for the Amarok at a great price.
They took everything that was thrown at them well without complaint and wouldn't hesitate to get them again in the future on another 4x4 or Truck/Pickup.
Good offroad on all terrains that I encountered, forest tracks, mud, water crossings, grass and sand.
They were also really good through winter and the snow, on ICE they weren't as confident inspiring as a full winter but is to be expected.
For a do it all offroad 4x4 tire they were excellent and highly recommended.

Bridgestone Turanza 6 255-55-20- Volkswagen Amarok permanent 4x4 3,000 miles June 12, 2023

Compared to the OEM fitted Bridgestone HP Dueler, this tire far better on comfort, wet grip and rolling resistance. The soft tirewall gives a plush and smooth feel. For those who are after a lot of feedback and instant reaction on steering input, should look at other tires.
The old HP Dueler lastet 70 000km, but i dont expect the Turanza 6 to last that long. I’ve only driven 5000km on them so far and no sign of wear on them yet.

For SUV’s and pick up trucks, this tires are highly recommended!

Bridgestone Dueler HT 684 245-65-17- Volkswagen Amarok permanent 4x4 110 miles August 12, 2022

These tires are the greatest so far traveled 110,000 km starting to show wear probably get 120,000 130,000 been all but 10,000 hwy driving will be purchasing them again absolute brilliant for my situation. The 2020 AMAROK CORE is one brilliant Ute.

Michelin Latitude Alpin 2 255-55-19- Volkswagen Amarok permanent 4x4 July 6, 2022

I have been using these tires for a couple of winters on my 3.0 lt Amarok. Typical Michelins… very correct tires with low wear rate. I ve been doing tire development in the past and rallied internationally for 35 years. I have competed in 30 winter rallies. Tires are always a compromise. These could possibly be a little better on dry cold conditions ( they are good but could be even better), they are excellent on the wet and they are working very well on winter conditions ( snow, ice, mixed etc ) You don’t get any unpleasant surprises and they wear out fine as a winter tire. All winter tires get noticeably less grippy the second winter and deteriorate the third one.The compound gets harder every summer left on the store. The LA2 is a very good and honest tire for Central and Southern European ( alpine ) climates. I just ordered one set as I heard the model will probably change in the near future.

Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport 255-60-18-V Volkswagen Amarok permanent 4x4 1,500 miles May 13, 2020

Well, suppose it is a road only tire to which it does well. SUVs and much more pickups go off-asphalt so booo to both bridgestone and VW for fitting it to an Amarok and as such the poor review is well deserved. The tire is AWFUL on anything more challenging than the best dirt roads. Just a mildly wet dirt-road and you're stuck. Dry grass and I barely knew what happened under my feet. A 100% on road tire that performs well there, but doesn't deserve being fitted on a SUV much less a pick-up that intends to do more than parking on sidewalks!
