Thanks e-Roottoot. 
 

Having read ALL the forums on this topic (thanks for the extra links), I wanted to lay low, and just ask X19 what he ended up fitting, as some folks here are kinda harsh in their replies 🤕... but I’m keen to chat so here goes as lots of folks here have great personal experience to offer 👍🏻

 

I have a 2016 Yeti Outdoor 4x4 2.0 TDi, came with 17” alloys. Absolute joy to drive — and sadly the Yeti never sold in Canada (!?!?) so I moved to the UK 😝 ... Kidding, kinda (43 mpg on a 4x4 is unheard of in North America ... even after adjusting the ‘gallon’ variations)
 

So, here I am looking for an All Season tyre, as I live in northern Scotland, and it’s usually wet / muddy / icy (snowed again today). However, as a Canadian, I don’t want to do the summer/winter Tyre swap, as Scotland ain’t the Yukon (where I lived) with 7 months of serious winter + 5 months of ‘warmer’ weather... AT tyres in Yukon worked for summer, while studded snow tyres were choice on the ice.

 

But my needs in the UK / EU (often drive south to various mtn bike trail heads & camping — I built a foldable bed with all seats inside my Outdoor Yeti :) doesn’t call for winter tyres, while my current 225/50R17 Primary 3 Michelin summer tyres the Yeti came with are terribly slick, even for summer rain storms where they hydroplane badly  😕 ... even in south France this summer where I thought summer tyres would be great at 35 degrees, but I was slipping around & hydroplaning in the rain & mud. So these Slicks have to go.

 

As a Nokian Tyre fan, I’ve been researching best All Seasons, with lots of good online video comparisons, as I wanted the magical Tyre:

— excellent wet & dry grip

— decent Mud performance

— with all season rubber (not too hard/not too soft)

— excellent fuel efficiency (Geolanders got an ‘E’ where as Vectors / Latitudes a ‘B’ for fuel)

Obviously dreaming here, but this is the 21st century with touch screens & video meetings, and my 2 stumbling blocks are:

 

1). SUV Tyres VS non-SUV tyres

— what the heck is the difference, when Michelin sells 2 exact same tyres but one has ‘SUV’ in the description. Is that like an ‘XL’ tyre (extra load / side wall stiffness)?

2). Tyre Size:

— would a 225/60R17 tyre fit my Yeti?I’d like something slightly taller then my current 225/50R17 for a smoother ride, as Honest John says R value of 55-65 for SUV is best; and yes, I’ve read all the ‘illegal’ comments at 10% discrepancy).

Personally i would stick with the tyres sizes that are the standard OEM size for a Yeti.

Maybe get 'All Terrain' tyres that are 3 peak and M&S marked rather than All Season / All Weathers or Snow tyres.

Maybe see what your local tyre centre can supply.  

ATS Euromaster Elgin. or the others, or the places in Forres.   Plenty choice of fitters.

 

They are fitting others 'All terrain' tyres in your area, farmers / estates and others that will use their SUV's / Cross overs the same as you will.

 

I have Michelin CrossClimate SUV's on my Shogun, nice strong sidewalls.

  (I am not going offroad other than on tracks, so 265 wide & 18" rims, and that is narrower than the standard 285 wide tyres)

I would not recommend CrossClimate + for your needs and in the size you will be fitting, rather go for 'All Terrain' tyres.

 

I would ignore the labels and the fuel economy figures if traction is important when the roads / tracks are not lovely and dry.

They are going on a Yeti after all and they are not streamline.  If you really want road use economy in good weather put more air in the tyres to an ECO pressure.

I would suggest going from the standard 215/60R16 to 215/65R16.

 

215/65R16 is a common SUV/4x4 size, so there's a lot more choice and being common it's less expensive.

If you fit 215/65R16, use 6J or 6.5J rims such as the 6Jx16 ET43 from the later Karoq. The 7Jx16 ET45 wide rim on the Yeti is too wide for an SUV, as Skoda now acknowledge with the change to a narrower rim size on the Karoq.

 

Going for a tyre that's good in the mud will severely compromise the tyre's road performance. If you drive in the snow, always make sure the tyre has the 3PMSF symbol, as this means that it's passed a test for traction in the snow. It also means that the tyre is winter rated, even if it's not marketed as a pure winter tyre.

Thanks for replies.

 

My 2016 Yeti Outdoor has 17" stock rims (7Jx17 ET45) with oem 225/50R17 tyres; I don’t want to bother changing to 16" rim even tho that would allow me a taller sidewall for a smoother ride.

 

215/60R17 is roughly (+4.8%) the same as a my oem, similar to the 215/65R16 on 16" rims (+4.3%)... Altho i hear everyone when they say +/-2% is the allowable difference.
 

... interesting to hear the Karoq went to a narrower rim.

 

What’s the difference between an ‘SUV’ marked tyre vs non SUV marked? Strange how many options of tyres there are for each specific tyre! Vector Goodyear Gen3 has like 4 different variations/models (SUV, XL, 4x4 + speed ratings)

 

Cheers,

I've got pretty much the same spec Yeti as you, albeit with a bit more power.  I bought it almost a year ago and very quickly changed the worn out Michelin Primacy tyres for Michelin CrossClimate+ in the OEM 225/50x17 size.  I've been very pleased with them so far. 

 

The ride is acceptable, the steering and turn in are excellent, especially now that I've enhanced that by enabling XDS.  I've found them to be outstanding in the wet and charging through standing water without a hint of hydroplaning has become the norm.  

 

I was out in the car in the snow earlier this week and their performance was acceptable.  The braking performance wasn't on par with my wife's Dunlop Winter Sport D5 shod Karoq 190 TDI but they're full winter tyres.

With VCDS, as far as I'm aware it was never even an option on any Yeti and no it's XDS.  In that order....

It doesn't.  I don't think any Yeti was even offered with it as an option.  However, it can be enabled with VCDS.

Cheers,

SUV marked tyres are designed for taller cars, and the sidewall flex is stiffer to  offset the higher centre of gravity so they don’t bend sideways as much when cornering

 

XL is a stiffer sidewall, usually means can take a eXtra load (heavier load), although the weight numbers (next to speed letter) would also indicate this.

 

At first glance might seem same, but one is rigidity and one thickness giving strength, and as I understand it it’s to do with how the strengthening belts are positioned within the tyre.  You would need expert in tyre design to explain it in detail.

 

 

If you have a Yeti with Haldex then i would not be bothering yourself about XDS.

XDS was standard on Mk2 Fabia vRS and you could set it and some had it off using VCDS for track use or even spirited driving and some put it up from the factory setting.

On track if the brake system got over hot, even with upgraded hoses, fluid, pads, calipers it Disables iis self anyway.

XDS+ followed on from XDS.   Its really just EDL in different flavours.

My 2017 Yeti also came with those wheels and 225/50 R17 tyres.

I bought a 2nd hand set of 16" Skoda Spectrum alloys at a good price and fitted Goodyear Vector 4Season tyres 205/60 R16 for winter use.

I'm told that this size combo should give a smoother ride as there is greater tyre height, but Im happy with the ride the 17" tyres give me.

I ensured the replacement alloys were marked with '7J ET45' for the correct fit.

The reason that you may be less than impressed with the ride of 205/60R16 tyres fitted to 7Jx16 ET45 rims, is because a 7J is wide for a 205/60 tyre as it stretches the sidewalls which causes the tyre to flex less easily and therefore transmit more of the road bumps to the occupants.

 

7J is wide even for a 225/60R16 tyre. However, for comfort it's better to fit a 225/60 than a 205/60 to a 7J rim.

 

Notice that the Yeti MK2 (aka Karoq) has replaced the 7Jx16 ET45 rim with a much narrower 6Jx16 ET43 rim, even though it uses the same 215/60R16 (or 225/16R16 in the case of the Karoq 4x4) tyre size.

Actually Root, as someone who's had it enabled for the past few thousand miles, I disagree with you.  On the road, particularly on my favourite bumpy, twisty, greasy ones, it makes a significant difference to the way the car drives.  It improves the turn in, reduces understeer and allows the car to hold a line better in tight bends.  It probably helps that I've got bigger brakes and uprated pads.  Nevertheless, yes it might well still overheat the brakes on the track where my Yeti is unlikely ever to venture but on local B roads and unclassifieds it's a definite improvement.

@Schtum Memories ya hoor sir.

I went to Elmwood College & stayed in Cupar with the young farmers from around Scotland, young sheperdess's etc and we raced around Ffe in quick cars at the time of AM CB's and the time of the Black Puddinbg Incident. Then i stayed at Tarvit Hill and worked at the Car Parts shop in Cupar. Every night was race night.

 

So that is how things are really now for some in a parallel universe of fantastic unclassified roads with no other road users where a modified car is required to nip on safely and where bigger than standard brakes are a must and change the factory settings.

Others just get on and drive those roads with what ever car they happen to be in but then they are just mortals and not driving gods.

 

Very few Yeti venture on track other obviously then one of the quickest Yetis which was rather modified.

More seriously, this procedure is thus....

 

 

In VCDS Select Control Module, go to (03) ABS Brakes, then (10) Adaptation, go to Channel:

Channel 09 Brake Assist (This will then activates Channel 36)

There are 3 settings:

0-center (stock setting)

2-hard

Channel 36 XDS

There are 3 settings:

It depends what the aspect ratio is.

 

For 215/50 to 215/65 tyres, ETRTO recommends a rim width between 6" and 7.5".

 

However, for a 215/55 tyre the suggested starting point is a 7" rim width as you can see from this link.

 

215/55R17 Approved Rim Width Range (inch) 6.0-7.0-7.5

 https://www.toyo.co.uk/tirefinder/index/width/215/aspect/55/rim/17

 

And for a 215/60 tyre the suggested starting point is a 6.5" rim width as you can see from these two links.

 

215/60R16 Approved Rim Width Range (inch) 6.0-6.5-7.5

https://www.toyo.co.uk/tirefinder/index/width/215/aspect/60/rim/16

 

215/60R17 Approved Rim Width Range (inch) 6.0-6.5-7.5

https://www.toyo.co.uk/tirefinder/index/width/215/aspect/60/rim/17

 

Notice that car manufacturers don't always go along with the suggested starting point. The Skoda Karoq uses a 6J rim for it's 215/60R16 tyre size, whereas the Skoda Yeti uses a 7J rim for it's 215/60R16 tyre size.

 

Also notice, that when selecting a rim width, there's no need to consider the rim diameter. For example, 215/60R16 and 215/60R17 have the same range of rim widths.

 

Although these links are to Toyo's website, Toyo don't make these rules/guidelines for approved rim widths. Toyo is simply following ETRTO which is the European tyre industry body. Even big name brands such Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone follow ETRTO's guidelines. I can't post a link to ETRTO's guidelines directly, because ETRTO doesn't make their information freely available. You have to pay to get information from ETRTO. Fortunately, Toyo does make ETRTO's guidelines freely available indirectly through their website but only relating to tyre sizes that they make.

 

Here's some more examples, this time relating to 185/55R15 and 185/6R15 tyre sizes.

 

185/55R15 Approved Rim Width Range (inch) 5.0-6.0-6.5

https://www.toyo.co.uk/tirefinder/index/width/185/aspect/55/rim/15

 

On the Citigo, Skoda uses 5.5J rims for it's 185/55R15 tyre size, not the suggested 6J rim width.

 

185/60R15 Approved Rim Width Range (inch) 5.0-5.5-6.5

https://www.toyo.co.uk/tirefinder/index/width/185/aspect/60/rim/15

 

On the Fabia, Skoda uses 6J rims for it's 185/60R15 tyre size, not the suggested 5.5J rim width.

 

So it sounds like with the 185/55R15 tyre, Skoda were trying to get the comfort of a 185/60R15 tyre by using a narrower rim...and with the 185/60R15 tyre Skoda were trying to get the handling of a 185/55R15 tyre by using a wider rim.

XDS was standard on Mk2 Fabia vRS and you could set it and some had it off using VCDS for track use or even spirited driving and some put it up from the factory setting.

On track if the brake system got over hot, even with upgraded hoses, fluid, pads, calipers it Disables iis self anyway.

XDS+ followed on from XDS.   Its really just EDL in different flavours.

I have become the owner of a 2013 Yeti 170. Am I correct in my understanding of the quoted post that my car has XDS available through VCDS?

Thanks.

I can only suggest that it may be possible.  I don't know from which date it became possible.  You can try following the procedure I've outlined above and see if it's available. 

@SchtumIs the procedure you posted not just to alter the setting from the factory setting on cars with the XDS functioning.

As i and others have done on Fabia Mk2.  As in reducing or increasing it or putting it off?

How does the Yeti cope with pulling the 5% higher gearing? Especially pulling away from a standstill up a steep hill and driving in top gear?
