Hi everybody,

Questions for all who are using allseason tires on Superb 3 tdi. 215/55/R17 94V.

Which ones, what do you like and what do you don't like?

Secondly, has someone used 98V/98W rated all season tires for long time? Has that affected/damaged suspension .......or was it just a bit stiffer ride, if any?

Thanks

I've had Michelin Cross Climate of both generations on numerous cars and vans.

They are quiet and comfortable and excellent in snow, but there are better cold wet performers if you don't see much snow.

The CrossClimate 3 is now out together with a CrossClimate 3 Sport.

I wouldn't be concerned fiiting XL tyres with 55 profile, plenty of sidewall there. All seasons are usually a bit softer anyway.

How did you like CC2 in summer, was it too soft or steering was ok?

I had Kleber Quad 3 for last 5-6 years and never had a problem. Thou it was smaller tire profile and much lighter car. Aquaplaning was great which for me is the most important wet road category, I don't do racing in rain 🫤.

CC3 will probably have rip off high price snd according to few rare tests wet performance is only marginaly better(4%) ...... not worth it.

CC2 is pretty decent in summer but you only get the usual All Season turn in bite feel. No where as good as a premium summer.

I suppose the CC3 Sport is the solution for that.

Sorry, would you elaborate a bit about "turn in bite feel", not sure what that means. Thanks

Most All seasons have pretty soft sidewalls and flexible tread. You don't get the same direct feeling from the steering wheel that you would from a premium summer tyre.

The new CC3 Sport has stiffer side walls and modified tread blocks so they feel more like a sports summer tyre.

But everthing is a compromise. The CC3 Sports are not as comfortable as the CC3 and have a higher wear rate.

car is not stable with all seasons like on summer tyres.

i am tired of changing wheels every six week, and or karoq last year bought Bridgestone Turanza All season 6, feeling is better than on CC2.

I am using allseasons for over 10 years, never had any problem, winter/summer or all in between. As long as driver knows limitations of the tire and his car everything is ok and sometimes they can even be driven "sportier".

My question is for people who use, lets say premium allseason tires, on Skoda Superb 3 diesel. It is rather heavy so I 'd like to hear personal experience of driving in different road conditions.

Usual suspects would be tires from Goodyear, Continental, Michelin.......and now Pirelli SF3, but Pirelli is brand new so probably no "allseason" opinions.

Ouch!

I hope they drop a bit before I need to swap.

As warm as parts of the UK are now it is nothing like it is in Slovenia or Croatia.

All Seasons might well feel a bit less stable when the roads and tyres at at pretty high temps.

Location location location can make a difference, and if you make an allowance for what the car is wearing.

It also makes a difference to the cost of tyres in the EU or non EU.

Yep, thats true.

But also weather changes a lot here in last 3-5 years...... monthly and even daily temperature oscilations. In summer we can get even 34-35°C but it lasts for a week or two and than drops a lot. Winters can be either "milder" or cold but snow is becoming rarity. We do have more thunderstorms in Summer. Rainy in Autumn and Spring also with temp oscilations. Hence the allseasons.

I was using Kleber Quad 3 on Octavia and was rather satisfied with them (except for some "dead spot" in straight line steering)

Superb Combi is 300+ kg heavier than Octavia so I'm wondering which one of those 3-4 top rated allseason models would be the best fit and has most precise steering.....etc.

I am based in the UK and can confirm that the Cross climate 2s are excellent in the summer as well as brilliant in the snow. I run on 19 inch rims and find the cross climate 2 a lot more quiet and a smoother ride than the OEM Bridgestones they replaced.

They are very stable and I have no idea what you mean by turn in and feel bite- can you please explain?

How are CC2 in rain , puddles?

I was also sking logiclee what he meant by "turn in bite". Probably alternating between light skidd and traction.

I find them good and stable even in heavy rain /puddles . My car is a SEL Hatch 190 TSI FWD and I would never go back to summer tyres all year round because the CC2s winter driving advantage far far outweighs any summer driving "disadvantages" that may exist which I personally have never experienced

Hope this helps

Thanks, already saw that 😉.

Leaning more and more toward Pirelli.....wear or no wear.

The only concern is, in my size they only come as 98W and Skoda recommendation is 94V.

On my MINI Electric i have Maxxis AP3 Premitra. Excellent All-Seasons, wet, dry / hot and Snow / Cold.

They come in 215/55 R 17 98 W.

Thanks.

Maxxis was off my radar, will take a look at them now.

On my 2016 Superb 2.0 TDi, I had Vredestein all season tyres. It had 19" wheels and when I had those tyres fitted, there wasn't as much choice for all season tyres as there is now. There're ideal for where I live in Wales, where it's often wet and not very warm, but where there's very little snow in the winter.

I took the car to many other countries in the summer, including places such as Croatia, Italy and the south of France where it was very hot at times. I didn't have any problems with them, though these days I'm a very steady driver and I don't press on too quickly and put the tyres under much strain.

I've now got a 2023 2.0 TSi with 18" Continental tyres and I'll swap them to all seasons when they're due to be replaced.

I ran Michelin CrossClimate 2's on my previous car (Honda Accord, 16" wheels) for years. They are a great all round tyre, I used to have a dedicated set of Winter tyres but in the UK it just wasn't worth it.

Once the current tyres on my Superb wear out I'll definitely go the same route, all be it with the Cross Climate 3's. The only thing I need to decide is if I stick with the 19" alloys the car has it switch to 18" for slightly more tyre profile and cheaper tyres.

I have used all seasons on our second car, and nowadays on my daughter's car for at least 8 years. They have moved on a lot in that time.

Don't worry about the heavy car bit, the tyre load rating deals with that, unless you normally load it up and carry lots of big people don't bother with a higher load rating or XL rated tyres.

There is not that much between the premium all season brands, it is marginal, (typically less than 4% difference). In tests one might be better at 2c in rain, but another better at 10c, one better at cornering, but not so good at braking etc.

In practice, what is available in your required size, and the prices being charged (and prices go up and down regularly) might determine which you pick. You won't go wrong with any of these :

Bridgestone Turanza all season 6

Continental all season contact 2

Goodyear vector all season gen 3

Michelin Cross Climate 2 (there is a new 3, but not commonly on sale yet)

Nokian season proof 2

Pirelli cinturano all season SF3

Hankook have a new Ion flex climate (so new, not seen it in tests), replaces Kinergy 4S

Could also consider these :

Vredestein Quatrac or Quatrac Pro+

Falken euro all season AS220

Uniroyal all season expert 2

Dunlop all season 2

You'll go with Conti Contact 2 ?

I always go to one tire shop that also have reliable service(tire check, balancing , aligment....etc)

What they have is only 3 tires with 94V rating:

Goodyear vector gen 3

Continental Contact 2

Michelin CC2.

I don't haul anything heavy other than full trunk for summer vacation.

but I am wondering which one of those has most precise steering in summer.

Also, serious candidate is Pirelli cinturato SF3 thou it comes only with 98W rating.
