Can't find the answer to this anywhere on the net. Do I need to use XL rated (94) tyres for my 17" Pegasus wheels on my 2006 2.0tdi DSG (factory sports suspension) or will 91 do the trick. 225/45/17

Ask Skoda for correct size and rating for your car might be an idea?

You have obviously never tried to get information from Skoda Ireland !!!

but thanks for the very helpful suggestion

The Skoda TUV tyre sizes document lists 225/45 R17 91W for the Octavia

Thanks Julie, is there any distinction between petrol/diesel or manual/DSG ??

The Skoda TUV tyre sizes document lists 225/45 R17 91W for the Octavia

The document is written in German, and the Octavia II section is split up by engine code. However, every 225/45/17 listed has a load rating of 91 regardless of engine code.

Your a star Julie, finding winter tyres will be a little easier ( and cheaper ) with that information, thanks again.
