Although the current tyres fitted may not be ideal, it is highly improbable that matching tyres, whatever the make, will cause the OP's issue with bump-steer in one direction only. 

I agree I don't think it's a tyre issue 

Best reduce your speed in Germany then.  Car sounds unsafe.

Maybe go someplace for a 4 wheel alignment check and adjustment if needed.

?

What are the tyres on the rear, & how many miles has the car covered. 

That's what I suggested an alignment check, pressure check, tread check.

 

If you do all of those, then I'd get the suspension checked or changed.

Yes we're not driving it at high speeds while in Germany for safety reasons until we get it home. Car is 59K miles and same tyres all round. Yes an alignment was on my list of things to get done too

Yes I think I will do this too

Please keep us updated. I'm curious what could be the problem in your case. Myself I'm looking for some third party garage with proper equipment to check at least shocks, since Skoda can't be bothered beyond visual inspection.

Suggest looking at condition of RH strut damper first. To your knowledge, is this vehicle still at stock ride height?

Bump-steer is a normally unavoidable consequence of changes in steering geometry during suspension travel and is not always an undesirable factor - provided it is uniform and predictable. 

Normally a car with torsion bar rear suspension, with little to no adjustment available, only has alignment of the front suspension.

Still a good idea to have the rear suspension checked in case it has been knocked out of whack and causing your unusual issues.

Likewise keep me updated also and I will post on here what I found out

Yes vehicle is standard with no modifications.

Yes an alignment is on the cards along with an inspection by skoda though I'm not holding much hope with Skoda 

@TRWood   Skoda will not be inspecting your car if you take it to a Skoda Dealership in the UK. 

It will be one of their Techs or Fitters.

 

You might as well go to a good VW Group Independent and have them check the car.

Following the relevant story of @Edela and the symptoms that you describe, I'd ask the Skoda service for a shock test. That shouldn't be too complicated or too expensive.

I requested such a test on one of my previous cars (it was noise related, not car instability), the dealership said it couldn't be the shock-absorbers. I insisted, and mentioned I would pay for the test if the shocks are in order, and they should pay for it if they were faulty... Surprise: it was one of the front shocks!

Then my front left shock died and car became wobbly even on low speeds. It was changed and just a few days after the rear left died, too.

So you have newer shocks on the left than the right? Meaning the right will likely be softer as the shocks are older even if they fitted the same make & type of shocks on the left (I presume you've checked all 4 shocks are the same make and type?).

 

Worth doing a visual inspection of all 4 shocks I reckon.

Shocks are changed in pairs, so I have all 4 new.
