MAD springs will have a very negative effect on the ride quality.

Maybe try OEM part number 3C0511115AF as the coil thickness is 0.25mm thicker than OEM part number 1K0511115DF https://web.tecalliance.net/gkn/en/parts/1/86484/detail?query=3C0511115AF&numberType=1&oe=3C0511115AF&groups=188#@brc/search:Search%20by%20any%20number%203C0511115AF;mandator:gkn;query:3C0511115AF;groups:188;brands:1;pf:2;page:0/detail:86484;brandId:1;articleNo:86484;mandator:gkn;query:3C0511115AF;numberType:1;oe:3C0511115AF;groups:188 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3c0511115af?search=OEN+3C0511115AF&supplier[0]=1&supplier[1]=10708&supplier[2]=1&supplier[3]=10708 https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=suplex+39355&_sacat=0&Brand=SUPLEX&_dcat=33582&_sop=15

0YF means the rear spring has OEM part number 1K0511115DF which has a coil thickness of 12.50mm as shown here on the gknautomotive.com coil spring catalogue 1K0511115DF https://web.tecalliance.net/gkn/en/parts/1/56677/detail?query=1K0511115DF&numberType=1&oe=1K0511115DF&groups=188#@brc/search:Search%20by%20any%20number%201K0511115DF;mandator:gkn;query:1K0511115DF;groups:188;brands:1;pf:2;page:0/detail:56677;brandId:1;articleNo:56677;mandator:gkn;query:1K0511115DF;numberType:1;oe:1K0511115DF;groups:188

The code L30 means that you have front springs with OEM part number 1K0411105BP You can confirm this if the front springs are marked with 2 orange dots and 1 white dot, or 1 red dot, 1 white dot, and 1 red dot. http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/SUP/year/2014/drive_standart/768/hg_ug/411/subcategory/411001/part_id/2561497/lang/e Your rear springs may have OEM part number 1K0511115DE You can confirm this if the rear springs are marked with 1 white dot, 3 orange dots, and 1 brown dot. Code 0YE would also confirm that your car has these rear springs. http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/SUP/year/2014/drive_standart/768/hg_ug/511/subcategory/511000/part_id/2561497/lang/e

Bridgestone Weather Control A005 https://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Bridgestone/Weather-Control-A005.htm Michelin CrossClimate+ https://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Michelin/CrossClimate-Plus.htm The Michelin CrossClimate+ scored better than the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 for: Dry Grip Wet Grip Road Feedback Handling Wear Comfort Buy again Snow grip Ice grip So the Michelin won in all nine categories. No wonder 89% would buy the Michelin CrossClimate+ tyres again compared to a rather low 68% for the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 tyres.

Doesn't the Audi S3 use 5/100 BCD wheels?

It would be interesting to see comparative results for the two winners (ie. Continental PremiumContact 6 and Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 2) in both sizes 195/65R15 and 205/55R16.

Has anyone fitted wider tyres to their 5Jx14 rims? Vredestein Quatrac 5 all-season tyres are available in 195/60R14 86H. Same outside diameter as the 165/70R14 size. Hankook Energy Eco 2 K435 summer tyres, Kumho i*cept RS (W442) winter tyres, Kumho EcoWing ES01 KH27 summer tyres, Toyo Proxes CF2 summer tyres, are also listed on mytyres amongst many others. You may be wondering if 195/60 fits on a 5.0" wide rim? Well, 185/70 is a recommended size for a 4.5" wide rim and 205/50 is a recommended size for a 5.5" wide rim, so 195/60 should fit a 5.0" wide rim because 195/60 is in the middle of 185/70 and 205/50 and 5.0" is in the middle of 4.5" and 5.5". Here's a chart: 185/70 4.5" rim (Recommended size) 195/60 5.0" rim (Should fit) 205/50 5.5" rim (Recommended size) Another way of looking at it, is that both 185/50 and 205/70 is a recommended size for a 5.0" rim and 195/60 is in the middle of 185/50 and 205/70 so should also fit. Here's another chart: 185/50 5.0" wide rim (Recommended size) 195/60 5.0" wide rim (Should fit) 205/70 5.0" wide rim (Recommended size) The load index for a 165/70R14 tyre is 81 (462kg), whereas the load index for a 195/60R14 tyre is 86 (530kg), so you can lower your tyre pressures by about 5psi when replacing 165/70R14 tyres with 195/60R14 tyres... or more precisely multiply the fraction 462/530 by the tyre pressures that you use for your 165/70R14 tyres. This of course assumes that your tyre pressure for your 165/70R14 tyres are correct. Always seek expert help if in doubt.
