Can any of you “more-enlightened†Yeti owners please explain why a Yeti, sporting 17†alloys, might feature in a SUK ad for 165/70 R14 winter tyres?

Or is it just another for SUK management and their advertising agency?

They have just chosen a Yeti. It could have been any other Skoda. The tyres in question are *From £62. It does not anywhere state that they are for the Yeti.

There is a good video though if you click on the winter tyre vs summer tyre link.

Well it's a step forward from 2009; when I contacted customer service during December of that year re the approved size of winter for a Yeti, they knew nothing about tyres or approved sizes other than those fitted and advised contacting kwikfit :S

My lad is running 165/70 R14 Vector 4seasons on his Fabia I (standard size for the Classic trim). So far been very impressed with this tyre (at this size), very grippy in all conditions encountered so far

A video made by another organisation, to which Skoda UK have added their own special touch of incompetence by scaling it to the wrong size and truncating it several seconds before the conclusion.

I have reported to SUK. I suggest to do the same - the more reports, the less more likely they are to listen

What a joke that video is.

They miss probably the most compelling footage showing the advantages of winter tyres

And when you can get the exact same tyres from the likes of Mytyres.co.uk for £49 each delivered, they aren't such a bargain. Fitting would'nt cost the difference of £52 for all four wheels/tyres either!

Good to hear Dan's still with SUK, not seen his name come up for a while

He's the chap that initially said I could not have Moons on my current Monster but after Skoda CZ intervention said I could and sorted it out for me.

Hi Dan have a good Christmas :yes:

Regards,
