I’m adding this to see if anyone with an Enyaq has had a similar problem?

I’ve recently opened a complaint case with Skoda customer services concerning unusual wear on the rear tyres of or Enyaq 80.

It had a slow puncture a few weeks ago so I took it to the local tyre dealer who took the wheel off to check the leak but these are self sealing and by this time it had stopped leaking.
However he noticed that the inside edges were badly worn and as the car had only done 14000 miles advised me to go back to the dealership to get the tracking sorted.

So, I arranged with them for a check and they agreed that both rear tyres were wearing unevenly but as they didn’t have the equipment to adjust the rear wheels they suggested I take it to a accident and repair company they use just up the road.

This company did a complete 4 wheel lazer check and came back with a print out showing the wheels were within limits for the car.

In the opinion of their technician we may get another 2000 miles from the tyres so the best option was change the tyres at that point and take it back for the tracking to be checked again. 
Following this I went back to the Skoda dealer explained the situation and they advised me to contact customer service who we emailed a day later and are now waiting for a reply.

My point to Skoda is that at around £240 per tyre and given that they might average 16000 miles this is an expensive added expense.

Acording to Bridgestone these tyres were developed in association with Skoda especially for the Enyaq and the higher demands of electric cars.

In case anyone is wondering we’re both in our 60s and drive in ‘Eco’ mode all the time and during the summer we’ve seen as much as 316 predicted miles from the car.

I’ve also checked other forums and found I’m far from being the only person with this problem which leads me to conclude that someone in Skoda (or VW) has got their sums wrong and the tracking and tyre pressures need to be reevaluated.

 

As I said I would be interested to hear if anyone has had similar problems 

Best regard. 

 

Hi,

 

I’ve split this out to its own thread as it’s likely; as you said, to be more than one instance.

 

I’ve moved it to the Enyaq forum too for direct relevance to that model.

 

let’s see what other owners have experienced and what Skoda uk do or do not do.
