Just ordered this set for my 2019 Octavia 1.5

Borbet Y

Pirelli Cintuato

 

Anyone have experience or opinions on either?

I hope hope its a good package; for looks and function.  Will post pics and conclusion when installed in a few days.

Here is the result:

So far my experience is:

• Looks great at 0kph
• Vibrations start at 100kph and become uncomfortable over 120kph

Back to the workshop i go....

They look great.  Vibrations at those speeds are probably down to wheel balance which should be easily sorted.  Perhaps a stick on weight has fallen off.

Had them rebalanced and things are much better now.  However I still feel there is a small vibration over 85mph (140kph). Its minor but I got W speed rated tires and would hope for more comfort at autobahn speeds.  I will ask again for a better tire tune, but I don't want to get annoying. Maybe I am asking for to much perfection....

 

BTW: I was told I threw a weight the first time around.

So I was told the tires shop had a machine that was out of calibration during the second go around.  After the third balancing the tires and rims are now performing top notch.  I am quite happy.  I can report a satisfied experience even at top German autobahn speeds.  They are also nice in the rain.  I'll I have to report how they handle snow if we ever get any....

The wheels even look beautiful with a full coats of dirt, grime, and salt; one important aspect for me as there is rarely more than a few days without wet weather where I am.   

What size are they mate?
