Car has always had 205/60r15 size tyres, but on recent visit to Skoda dealers for replacement 185/60r15 were fitted.

After 6 days of being fitted front drivers side tyre went after riding over catseye at 40mph. Manual recommends 195 or 205 but nothing about 185.

Garage say they're ok, but don't want to risk high speed blowout on motorway. Confused & worried.

Not sure if this belongs in guides?

You might also want to add exactly what car and engine you have, I'm guessing an Octavia?

Updating maps and radio logos - slight issues and few questions

LaMpiR · 19 hours ago19 hr

Hi good people! I just updated my car to SW 332 (came with 330). I have Superb combi 2023 Style, but it has Columbus (bigger) MIB3 infotainment. First I wanted to update maps, as it was V25.5. So, I've downloaded 26.2 (latest from https://updateportal.skoda-auto.com/), added it to the USB-A stick, but nothing happened, no notification. Left the stick inside and in the meantime got trial for Infotainment online package. Now it's saying map version 26.6 (despite online showing 26.2), so what happ

Lane assist is dangerous

Guest · 23 October, 20205 yr

I have previously commented on lane assist being a problem but this morning it came very close to causing an accident. I was following a friend and neighbour on the first part of our respective journeys to work. The road is subject to a 60mph limit. I was doing just on 40. He turns right and pulls into the right turn lane provided so there is plenty of room to pass on the nearside. As I knew it was safe - Bob is an excellent driver - I continued at around 40 when the car suddenly ste

2005 Octavia power window issues

ASEDL · Tuesday at 18:292 days

Hi all, I have an issue with my 2005 Octavia I was hoping to get some assistance with. For as long as I can remember I’ve had a strange, intermittent issue with the electric windows on the car. If I get in and start the ignition, the radio doesn’t show the time in the centre at the top, I know my electric windows won’t work. As soon as the clock is displayed the windows work again. This has been going on for years. The longest I have to wait is usually 5 minutes. Of course, now we are ha

Full Matrix Led headlights on motorway

Rafal78 · 23 January, 20242 yr

Ok, Matrix Leds are fantastic. When driving on A or B class roads they working perfect, illuminates both sides of the road and cuts out cars at the front or oncoming traffic. I've never been flashed. When I tried to use them on motorway it's a different story. Right headlamp is illuminating as expected but left one doesn't illuminate side of the road but only gives a lot of light far at the front of the car.. I recently followed Audi Q7 with matrix leds and his headlights gave massiv

Incredibly stubborn hub bolt

Incredibly stubborn hub bolt

kivivyory · 13 hours ago13 hr

I'm replacing the front springs and shocks due to a broken spring on the left side and a lot of visible rust on the shocks. By the guides I've seen online this requires separating the hub from the driveshaft, but on both sides the hub bolts are incredibly stuck. I've tried soaking with penetrating oil (multiple applications over a couple days), heat with a heat gun and induction heater, air powered impact driver, air hammer on the end of the bolt and a 2m long extension arm(broke the 1/2" square
