Carlston, did you mean to refer to 17" wheels in your 2nd sentence & 7Jx17 ET45?

 

kodiacsportsline I suspect you're sort of correct, I believe Hancock AW tyres do wear faster than say Michelin & Goodyear equivalents + higher rolling resistance, losing maybe 1 or 2mpg & other things being equal, I'd seriously think about that.  However, other things aren't equal - in a recent review, they came out as otherwise one of the best all round tyres, particulary regarding wet performance & ride quality.  So, if they last 2 years instead of 4, replacement costs being say £400-500 every 2 years, when viewed against my car depreciating at maybe £4000pa, the tyre cost isn't all that significant.

I've corrected the 2nd sentence below. I meant the only 16" rim size approved by Skoda for the Yeti is 7Jx16 ET45. I've also added a 3rd sentence so that the Superb MK3 is included, as that also uses a 215/60R16 tyre size. Notice that all three vehicles are using different rim widths and offsets even though they are all using the same 215/60R16 tyre size. You wouldn't necessarily expect all three vehicles to use the same offset, but it's surprising that they are all using different rim widths for the same tyre size.

 

The only 16" rim size approved by Skoda for the Karoq is 6Jx16 ET43.

The only 16" rim size approved by Skoda for the Yeti is 7Jx16 ET45.

The only 16" rim size approved by Skoda for the Superb MK3 is 6.5Jx16 ET41.

There are some more wheel choices for Karoq
