What kind of all seasons do you use? Are they quiet?

Vredestein Quatrac 5’s; which are very good and yes I find the quiet, more so than the PS4’s and the awful Pirelli P7s that come from the factory. 

 

TBH, in the UK they are probs all the tyre you need but I really wanted to try the PS4’s, which are a different class in warmer temps.

    Had the wheels refurb'd... and new centre caps and new tyres all round. Much much nicerer. Before and after

    Chucked a bucket of water over it. Three hours later this is the result.         Happy with that

I hate those p7's. Please do tell me the car is not actually noisey and it is just the p7's that make so much noise on the motorway!

I found them significantly quieter.  I replaced the P7's with plenty of tread left on them as I was so underwhelmed by them.

I'm patiently waiting until I wear them down, which hopefully won't be too long as I have done 34k miles from the car being new at the end of Jan '19.

Upgraded the following:

 

rear mirror to frameless

MIB 2 to a MIB 2.5

screen from 8” to 9.2”

aircon control unit from matte to black gloss finish (2018 spec)

upgraded all external non LED Lights to LED apart from headlights

I've just changed all my wipers to Bosch

@facet edge I'd be keen to know which ones are suitable for the Superb mk3

Got mine from https://www.wiperblades.co.uk/

You can fill in your registration number.

My fronts were £22.24 so Amazon look cheaper

Edited by facet edge

I have replaced the two boot lamps and the removable LED torch with items from the Kodiaq (along with the Glovebox light). They are a higher Kelvin light (Cool White) and the two boot lamps are LED (not W5W bulbs as we have in our Superbs)...

Genuine Part Numbers: LED Lamp - 8J0947409B (x3) / Connectors - 8W0971832 (x3) / Removable LED Torch - 3T0947417F9B9

Any chance of dropping the link to these on here??

 

I assume a universal fit between Saloon & Estate??

I got a bit shouted down when I mentioned this last time on here, but the genuine Skoda ones are about £15 a pair from Superskoda, so not much more than the Ali ones if you want to go that route.

Yes, I'd imagine it to b the same between the two.

Getting my new Vredestein Quatrac 5’s fitted, curious to see how they hold up. I used to have Michelin Crossclimate's on my previous car. The currently fitted Pilot sport 4's don't enjoy this cold and wet weather too much 🙂

Same tyres I’m using (Vreds and PS4’s) I started to feel the PS4’s sliding on these cold and damp mornings so the Quatrac 5’s are back on. Noticeably more surefooted in the cold. 

Nothing yet, but I have been informed that my Emerald Green 1.5TSI DSG estate may be arriving in time for next weekend!!

But the Ali ones are about £12 for 4............!!

 

So £30 vs £12 is quite a difference for an experiment (as it will be in my case!)

dealer charged 49,67€ for replace front's only (3V0075111)
