The Pirellis Scorpion Verde (& Plus) are like they were designed specifically for highway use on the Touareg. Perfect match.

Not so much for off pavement. I don't care about that.

I had Pirellis Scorpions problem with them is they cup way too quick.

Out of curiosity do you mean cupping (scalloping), or feathering?

When a tire is feathered, it means the edge of the tread ribs have a more rounded edge on one side, while the other side of the tire is sharper. You can check for this with your hands far more easily than your eyes — just run your hand over the treads and if you feel the sharp edge on one side, feathering is probably the culprit. If one or more of the tires has a feathered appearance across the treads, notes Free ASE Study Guides, the vehicle is also overdue for an alignment. Feathering can also be caused by the toe-in setting being off; in either case, the vehicle needs to be seen by a qualified mechanic.

When the tire treads appear to be cupped or scalloped, worn out shocks or struts are usually to blame. Tires that are out of balance may also cause this problem.

This is just my experience having owned Nissan, Toyota, and VW SUVs continuously since 1993. Your experience may be different.

All of them developed feathering of the front tires, usually noticeable around 5K miles or so. The alignment always checks out as within specs.
