Yeah, I know, but tyres like the Continental EcoContact6/PremiumContact7 or Michelen Primacy 4+ seem to come out top in most tests and offer LLR features (yes, I know they're the most expensive tyres). Just wondered if anyone had tried tyres like this on their Superb and seen improved economy/mpg.

The VX was a late 2021 Euro 6d 174hp model (so last of the UK Insignia's). Very economical generally on longer journey's - I was expecting similar (or better) from the Superb, although Skoda's official combined MPG is around 51-52mpg. Thing is, the Insignia's rated MPG was ~61mpg, and I could get way more than that. I was therefore wondering if better tyre's would help.

I've not been overly impressed with fuel economy in my TDi190 4x4 L&K so far. Even on a long journey I only just scraped over 57mpg, but the average is around 50-52mpg (my previous VX Insignia 2l TDi could near 70mpg on a good run, but averaged around 62-65mpg). It might be the auto box as I previously had a manual - I can't do anything about this, but I'm wondering if better LRR tyres might be a good choice. The car came with Bridgestones, which are 'ok', but I think Michelen's or Continentals might do better. Anyone have any recommendations for eco tyres on the Superb mk4? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. I've learned to not plugin in the phone on short journeys and just connect a USB-C charging cable on longer ones, which seems to do the job. One question though - is wireless Android Auto the only way of connecting to the car now? I'm just curious if the mk4 actually supports wired android auto now at all?

Thanks for the heads up - I'm not going mad then! The car is only 10 months old, so it sounds like it might be worth contacting the dealer and seeing what they say. I'm assuming you mean the main 12v battery in the non-PHEV (this is the TDI 190)

On 3 or 4 occasions now on my mk4 L&K tourer the tailgate won't open when pressing the release button. I just get no response at all, and nothing from the fob tailgate button or waving the foot under the rear bumper either. The release button on the drivers door will release the catch, but not open the actual tailgate. On occasions when it hasn't worked, I've had to go into the boot via the rear seats. If I try again later (or next day), it works perfectly ok. It's all a bit frustrating, so I'm wondering if this is a known issue or if I need to contact dealer service. Thanks

Ok, thanks. Bit of a loss if various other phones work ok I guess. Wouldn't expect much response from Skoda or Google, so I'll have to keep digging. Like I said, I can use USB-C with the phone on the charging pad, but wireless charging (which should work) would be nice.

Very happy with my 2025 L&K except that my Pixel 9a won't wireless charge. I've tried with and without case, moving the phone position and also with the phone reversed on the charging pad. It registers the phone when I drop it on the mat, but after 5s or so, stops with a warning that the phone cannot charge. My 9a charges perfectly on my Pixel Stand 2. Wireless AA works fine, and at the moment I'm using a USB-C charging cable. Not the end of the world, but when I collected the car I briefly looked at the issue with the dealer his phone charged fine. Just wondering if this is a known issue.

Wireless AA works perfect in my 2025 L&K.
