I know the subject on tyres has been hammered but still cant find what im looking for.

I went into a pothole yesterday and tyres now dead.

I have 205 55 17 Michellin Primacy 4 all round.

Do i go for the same or what would you recommend.

Mk 4 1.5 TSI

Cheers

It depends? Do you get snow where you live in winter? A little or a lot?

I had the Primacy 4 on my 70 plate 1.5tsi when I got it. Lasted well and found them to be plenty good enough for my style of driving and the areas I travel (little, if any, snow).

However, I switched to Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance which I ran on my previous car (1.4 mk2 superb, 16” wheels). I find them quieter, sidewalls a little softer, and returned slightly better fuel economy. The 205/55-17s on the Octavia every bit as good as I’d hoped. Currently on my second set of the Goodyears, first set did about 38k miles.

I’ve had the Crossclimate 2 tyres since I bought my car (nearly 53,000 km in a year and a half). I live in a low-mountain area, but I often find myself driving in the mid-mountain range. I’ve driven on snow-covered roads several times, and they’ve held up well, except on one or two occasions on a road that hadn’t been cleared properly (though it had snowed heavily the night before). The car skidded a bit, but it was easy to get it back on track.

And in terms of fuel economy, it performs well; I average just over 4.8 litres, with a lot of motorway driving (a record of 3.5 litres per 100 km on a 60 km journey).
