I only average 8 thousand miles per year, was going to put 4 new tyres on, looking at Churchill brand, anyone ever used them?

A good idea to put on all four tyres of the same model to keep handling even and balanced as far as the tyres go.  The tyres need to suit your car and you, the amount of annual mileage doesn't really matter other than perhaps if you're concerned about how quickly they wear if you do very high annual mileage but even then as the tyres are a very important part (and component) of braking, steering and suspension you what the best reasonably suitable.  8k-miles isn't too low and isn't high.  Handling, incidents and accidents can happen regardless of mileage.

 

Driving a big heavy car like a Superb (a L&K at that) personally I'd want the the most suitable tyres for that type of car and Churchill brand tyres may include a model in their range that is suitable to some level, the level might be high or it might not I don't know.  What you really need is a 2016 Superb owner that uses four Churchill tyres on the car and has very similar driving situations to you and then also drives in a similar way to you with similar expectations of the tyres as you.  This is why general tyre reviews have to be taken as a generalisation.  I possibly have higher expectations of tyres than an average VW / Skoda owner but that doesn't mean I'd turn my nose up at any tyre just because of it's country of manufacturer but the day of me being able to afford to buy tyres and give them 1,000 miles and change them if they didn't suit me are a long time in the past so personally I'd not take a chance on an unknown brand unless the qualifications I put earlier were meet.

 

Churchill is the type of brand name that Chinese companies would use to see  to the British market.  Doesn't make them god or bad tyres just possibly good marketing for the market.

From Bond "UK’s leading independent tyre wholesaler " and they seem to promote Churchill on their vans.- https://www.bondint.uk/tyre-brands/churchill
