Hello 😃

 

Just got rid of my 21 enyaq and got a superb 20 iv ,  and cannot findout what size wheels and tires i should get.

Im looking for something that sits nice and look good without coilovers in the first run. 

 

What i have found out by reading the interwebs maybe  19x9" et 40 ? But again i have no idea, so any tips and input would be really nice. Pics is also allowed  

 

Thanks in regards

Andreas/Norway  

 

 

 

Have a look at this brochure, the mark3 Superb is Superb III

There are 19, 18, 17, 16 inch rims

 

My general advice when 4 sizes exist, is to avoid largest and smallest (unless there is special reason).   Then depends on quality of your roads, if they are poor go for smaller of middle two, the tyres for these usually cheaper too.  If looks are more important than comfort then pick bigger of two middle sizes.

Some Superb MK3 owners upgrade their standard 235/45R18 to slightly oversize 245/45R18 using the standard 8Jx18 ET44 rims, as shown in the below thread.

 

Slightly oversize 245/45R18 on Superb  MK3

Edited 14 March, 20233 yr by Carlston

or 225/55r17 instead standard 215/55r17 for Superb III

19x8,5" @ 245/40 at the rear and 235 in the front, is this a bad plan?

8.5Jx19 but what offset?

 

ET40 to ET44 should be ok.

 

If you fit 235/40R19 to the front 8.5J rim, then fitting 245/40R19 to the rear 8.5J rim will mean that the rear sidewalls have less support than the front sidewalls. So not really a good idea, as you want at least as much sidewall support for the rear rims as the front rims.

 

Many Australian owners fit 245/40R19 instead of 235/40R19 to their Superb MK3s due to it being a cheaper tyre size and providing a little more rim protection...both from kerbing and pothole damage, and that's on standard 8Jx19 ET44 rims.

 

ETRTO approved rim widths

235/40 8.0-8.5-9.5
245/40 8.0-8.5-9.5
255/40 8.5-9.0-10.0

40 in offset was the plan yes

245 in the front ? Isn’t that too much? 

Thanks for superb information

245/40R19 on 8Jx19 ET44 have been tried and tested by a number of forum members, without rubbing.

 

With 8.5Jx19 ET40 rims, I would try 255/40R19 first by purchasing just just one tyre to try in all 4 positions on the car.

 

With 245/40R19 it's possible that you could get rubbing with 8.5Jx19 ET40 rims, but I wouldn't have thought so, as it's not much different from 245/40R19 fitted to 8Jx19 ET44 rims.

 

However, there's always risk involved when trying a larger tyre, hence the suggestion to try one tyre first.

 

Outside diameter of tyres

235/40R19 670.6mm

245/40R19 678.6mm (+1.2%)

255/40R19 686.6mm (+2.4%)

@Carlston what tyres do you recommend? 

Do you want UHP Ultra High Performance summer tyres or All-Season tyres?

 

In the 245/40R19 tyre size, perhaps Continental, Goodyear, or Michelin.

 

If you go for summer tyres, the grip drops off rapidly below about 7 degrees Centigrade. So if you're going to use the tyres all year round, then using all-season tyres makes sense.

 

If you did get any rubbing with your 8.5Jx19 ET40 rims, then just change to the standard 8Jx19 ET44 rims with the slightly oversize 245/40R19 tyre size.

 

Continental also has a winter tyre in this size.

I live in Norway, so in the winter I drive with studded tyres. Wondering if all-season tires are the same as being marked m/s which is mud&snow. But before winter comes, there is a longer period of 0-10 degrees, so something that will cope with this is needed before the winter tires are put on.

 

I live far up in Norway so we have long distances here, so I need tires that can withstand a few kilometers and that don't make too much noise. Thanks for the help with everything so far, it's really appreciated

The need for good grip in 0-10 degrees Centigrade temperatures rules summer tyres out.

 

The below three tyres should all be capable of over 65,000km if you don't drive them too hard, but you would need to rotate them front to back at the halfway point, ie. 32,500km, if the front tyres are wearing quicker than the rear tyres.

 

All Season tyres have the 3PMSF symbol.

 

3PMSF means that a tyre is winter rated, which means that it has passed a test for good traction in the snow.

 

Don't take any notice of M+S, as it doesn't have a standardised test.

Can't find the right size for the first one you linked here in Norway, and I can't get the other two here either. But I see that these are what are called all-year tires, and it would certainly have worked, but I will have pure summer tires. I think I probably misunderstood earlier, but it's summer tires I'm looking for.

 

The need for good grip in 0-10 degrees Centigrade temperatures has not been a problem earlier with the summer tires

8.5Jx19 pero que compensacion?

 

ET40 a ET44 debería estar bien.

 

Si coloca 235/40R19 en la llanta delantera de 8,5J, si coloca 245/40R19 en la llanta trasera de 8,5J, las paredes laterales traseras tendrán menos soporte que las paredes laterales delanteras. Por lo tanto, no es realmente una buena idea, ya que desea al menos tanto soporte de pared lateral para las llantas traseras como para las llantas delanteras.

 

Muchos propietarios australianos colocan 245/40R19 en lugar de 235/40R19 en sus Superb MK3 debido a que es un tamaño de llanta más económico y brinda un poco más de protección a la llanta... tanto contra bordillos como contra daños por baches, y eso es en llantas estándar 8Jx19 ET44.

 

Anchos de llanta aprobados por ETRTO

235/40 8,0- 8,5 -9,5
245/40 8,0- 8,5 -9,5
255/40 8,5- 9,0 -10,0

 

For the next tire change I will install 245/45/18. In addition to gaining 6 mm in height, and 10 in width, they are between 20 and 30 euros cheaper (Michelin Primacy 4 in Spain)

Michelin Primacy 4 are really rubbish tyres and as fitted to EV's to help with range due to the lack of grip /friction /traction.

 

Maybe OK if the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains and you just drive where dry and warm.

Los neumáticos Michelin Primacy 4 son realmente basura y están instalados en vehículos eléctricos para ayudar con el alcance debido a la falta de agarre/fricción/tracción.

 

Tal vez esté bien si la lluvia en España cae principalmente en las llanuras y conduces por lugares secos y cálidos. 

I live in Madrid, in the center. It does not rain much. For me, the Primacy offer me durability with sufficient features for urban and extra-urban use and highway trips to high cruisers. I've been with the current 50,000 kms and they still have a lot of drawing left, although they sound a little more, but this may be due to the Koni Special Active.

That makes sense, as I doubt there's much demand for all-season tyres in Norway because everyone changes to winter tyres in the winter...often the softer compound "Nordic" winter tyres rather than the "Central European" winter tyres.

 

Here in the UK, most of the winter tyres that are sold are of the "Central European" winter tyre variety because they are designed to work well above 0 degrees Centigrade as well as below, whereas the "Nordic" winter tyres don't inspire confidence above 0 degrees Centigrade and would wear out quickly at warmer temperatures due to their very soft rubber compound.
