What tyres did you get?

[timster]

I'd like to have some statistics about what tyres did your Octavia come with. Interested on any model.

Please tell me size, maker/model and maybe even manufacture date.

[DaveFromSydney]

Bridgestone, Potenza S005. 225/40 R19 93Y.

021/02/28.

Made in Hungary.

 

Car was delivered to me 30/05/2021.

 

[Greezy56]

I got Goodyear Eagle F1 Super sports and i was so glad as those Bridgestone's were atrocious in the wet . Also the tyre geek on Youtube rated the top 3 UP tyres as Mitch PS4S Conti 6 and the Goodyear as best on the market.

Have to say though the Eagles are not as good as the PS4S 

[TheUltraRunner]

Bridgestone Potenza S005. Car delivered on 21st of December 2020.

[ItalianJob]

Round ones.................. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Eagle F1 Super sport, and I'm quite impressed with them. Glad I didn't have to bite the bullet and put PSports on.

[timster]

Interesting. Altough you missed the size.

 

I just saw a factory fresh RS iV on the dealer. It had 18" Bridgestone Turanza T005 under it. I hope my 19" will not be Turanza's

[Greezy56]

UK spec is 19's . i have seen in europe some Rs's have 18 inch hideous wheels. Check your spec!!! The VRS will look **** without those 19's. Go look at the standard Golf GTI 18's and weep. A lookwarm hatch is all about the 4 circles.

I've got mine coming with 19" Altairs.

[TheUltraRunner]

VRSs are shipped only with two sizes of wheels. 18" are 225/45/18 and the 19" are 225/40/19. If I would be buying a VRS now, I would probably go with the black 18" wheels and used them as a winter set. For the summer set I would buy a new aftermarket set.

[OctaviaMK4]

Michelin Primacy 4 (205/50/R17)

[nidza]

Same car, same tires, for same region.

in Funland there are 2-3 options which they come with. Nice to know what others have.

[WhiskyJamJar]

I got Continental EcoContact 6s

[SurreyJohn]

Bridgestone Turanza T005, Michelin Primacy 4, Continental EcoContact 6

All summer touring tyres, economical and long wearing, rather than sporty.

All optimised for good mileage in warmer weather

 

None suitable for colder weather, cold rain, sleet, snow, frost, muddy autumn field run off, damp leaves, icy patches etc.  

 

The funniest choice is the Goodyear Eagle F1 super sport in Scotland (described by Goodyear as “a race inspired tyre for superior grip and handling on dry roads”) as of course it never rains in Scotland !

Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Sport 225/40 x 19 (on Altair rims) delivery was 31/05/2021

Very happy with these tyres in wet and dry conditions on our coarse chip roads and would most likely replace with the same even though I've been a big Toyo T1R fan on previous vehicles of late.

I hope i'd get something like that. Or anything silent/good to drive. As stupid as it sounds, i want my RS iV to have good electric range

[fossman]

My 1.0 SE FE came with Kumho Ecsta tyres.

 

Will check later what the exact size is.

The Good Year's are surprisingly quiet compared to some performance tyres I've driven on, especially given their size/profile, I know others on here have mentioned they thought they were noisy compared to the standard 18" but I guess that's down to the individual.

Attached is a photo of the usual road surface we have here, there's the odd motorway etc., with smooth asphalt where I personally can't hear virtually any road noise, it would be great if all our roads were like this!

[fossman]

Just been out and checked the full spec, the tyres are Kumho Ecsta PS71 205/60 R16 92V.

 

Car was a stock order in January 2021, delivered to me on 1st March 2021.

[Rwo09]

Michelin Primacy 4. Car delivered in June.

[Jack_Dangerous]

Pirelli Cinturato P7 225/45 R18

 

And all i can say about them is THEY ARE LOUD AS F*, even the slightest bit of a rougher road i get gigantic amounts of rolling noise.

Same in my case, car delivered in December 2020. For the time being, no complaints about the performance so at the time of the change either I repeat same configuration or I will go for the pilot sport 4s.

Same tyre on mine and same observation 

[SiWaiting]

According to dealer the car arrived on Pirellis. As agreed dealer switched tyres to Michelin Primacy 4 225/45/R18, so I never tested the Pirellis.

 

Drove a loaner, an Octavia estate, while waiting for my car. That car had been running on 225/45/R18 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5s for 20 000 km. Really liked the Goodyear tyres (comfortable and relatively quiet). It's unfair to compare them to the Michelins since the Michelins only got 150 km on them so far.
