Hello all,

Recent purchaser of a 2017 Kodiaq 1.4 TSI 4x4 Édition here. 
Very helpful site - I’ve already purchased and fitted mud flaps all round following the guide in the kodiaq section, and a roof rack following recommendations on here.

i’ll be after snow tyres and wheels next as this car will be used as transport to the Alps a couple of times a year, so if anyone has a set burning a hole in their shed, let me know!

cheers

Rather than old rusty rims, here are some new ones for the Kodiaq.

Standard tyre size for the Kodiaq on these rims is 215/65R17. However, you could also fit non-standard 235/60R17 tyres instead. These wider tyres have the same outside diameter as the narrower 215/65R17 tyres. The standard load index of 215/65R17 tyres is 99 (775kg) and the standard load index of 235/60R17 tyres is 102 (850kg). Therefore you can run 235/60R17 tyres about 0.2 Bar (3psi) lower than 215/65R17 tyres.

Fulda is part of the Goodyear group, and these Fulda tyres appear to have the same performance as these more expensive Goodyear tyres.

 

Here's the information on wheel-size.com about the standard and optional tyre sizes that were fitted to the 1.4TSi 148hp Kodiaq.
