Only slightly better than the Dunlop Sport in test data. overal 2.3 as opposed to 2.4.

.Dry grip and Dry stop +1

My Scout arrived at the dealer this week and has the Dunlops fitted

Scout 1.8 arrived finally, on Thursday pm. Has Dunlop sport 01 tyres - asymmetric. These seem to have varying reports- don't they all! Overall, have quite good grip in dry and wet. Thinking of Nokian or Conti, next time.

our scout was delivered end of march and has the Dunlop sport 01 tyres - asymmetric.

My 2008 pre-FL Scout has Dunlop Sports on.

Reading above it seems Skoda changed to Pirelli P Zero’s sometime during 2009 – I assume at the same time as the FL?

Now the latest 2010 cars are back on the Dunlops?

Strange.

Hi,

My Scout TDI was delivered two weeks ago, fitted with Dunlop Sports.

Hello,

My Scout picked up yesterday has Dunlop sports, a friend of mine had his Scout delivered 4 weeks ago and he has Pirelli Zero.

Got my new Scout 2 weeks ago with Dunlop Sports on them.

Dunlop here too, at dealers.

My three month old Octavia Scout has Dunlop but note if you have the spare wheel and tyre option the wheel is a smaller size to fit the tyre well and the tyre is likely to be a different brand and spec. I know this because I have had to replace two of the Dunlop's because of blowouts!

Does anyone out there recomend changing these low profile road tyres for something a bit tougher?

Ordered a spare alloy woth my Scout. It will fit in the wheel well bit does lift the boot mat slightly.

I bought a set of 18" preFL zRS Zeniths which had 245/40 18 Barum Bravuris on them. I'm trying to wear them out as I've got some 245/45 18 Goodyear Wrangler AT-R to go on. These are the "offroad" option for the Audi A6 Allroad. Both of these are lower profile than the standard 225/50 17s (which I wouldn't call low profile by any stretch...), but the sidewall of the Wranglers is in fact nominally only a couple of mm less than the OE fitment. My 17" wheels are retained for CWTs ("winter" tyres).

The Yeti SE and Elegance also have this non to common 225/50 R17 tyre fitted as standard, which appears to me anyway more tailored for high performance saloon cars than a 4x4 with off-road ability :wonder: Mine came with Goodyear Excellence which I have found to be a very good summer tyre but totally useless when you combine hills and snow. Switched to 16" steel rim's with 205/55 R16 Nokian WR G2 winters which improved things no end in the last snows.

When I eventually wear out the Goodyears I'm looking at replacing them with either the new Nokian eNtyre My link, or the Goodyear 4 Season My link which I understand has the winter snowflake symbol, as these appear to be the closest I can get to a suitable for a 4x4 type of tyre without changing the standard rim/tyre size.

Other Yeti owners have had their vehicles supplied with besides the Goodyear, both the Dunlop and the Pirelli mentioned in this thread.

Regards,

TP
