Hi.

Just see that my 2023 skoda sportline karoq 19 inch wheels 19 inch.

Sagittarius I believe? One of the covers is missing. Unsure if has been missing long and wanted your take on whether it has been stolen or has just fell off due to bad clips or design flaws. See photo of good wheel and the trim removed. UK right hand drive. Passenger rear.

I think this is the missing piece?

Not the cheapest. And a quite bit delivered so wondering if Skoda would fit one cheaper and examine the rest to make sure the clips are okay if they were not stilen and loose.

And bonus question.

8000 miles at present. How many miles am I hoping to get out of the skoda turanza summer tyres? Looking to upgrade to all season.

Either

Prelli SF3 (SF4 when released as they have wet grip and rim protection)

Good year vector 4 (5)

Continental all season

Or Michelin cross climate.

Got the 225 40 R19 and looking to uograde to 225 45 R19.

Anyone went bigger e.g 235 45 or 225 50?

Cheers

I’ve recently fitted Bridgestone Turanza All Season, Bridgestons have a 25,000 mile guarantee promotion- not sure how that might pan out though as driving style and usage patterns vary so much. Bought Bridgestones as they have a good rim protector, fitted Continental All Seasons to our Fabia last October, as it was slightly better rating in rain. Have Cross Climates ln previous cars but expensive and ratings suggested oriented more to snow. Goodyear Vectors the tyre depot manager advised against prone to cracking apparently.

Many choices CrossClimates now, +,1,2,3 3 Sport. SUV. CrossClimate Sport might be a good choice. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 2 or SF3 (self Seal) would be my choice.

One option is to remove the other three wheel covers, clean the wheels and leave them exposed. You can get a set of wheel centres, etc from a Škoda dealer.

That was my thoughts. The SF3 as on websites they are marketed as having a rim protector too and have a good comfort profile. Not as comfortable in the motorway as continental though apparently? Best wet grip but not as good range or lifespan apparently.

But although we dont get a lot of UK snow. When we do. We need traction and apaprently Michelin or Goodyear do it better.

Pros and cons to all my options.

Guess the question is. How much are Sf3s better at rim protecting than the rest. Surely all premium all season tyres will offer some degree of rim protection?

@DGAsp If you said where you were then maybe we would have some idea how much snow where you are or go. After this scorcher of a Summer coming some of us will have Snowmageddon this coming winter

I don't think they're fitted on the current model? When we looked at Sportline a couple of years ago, we were shown the dealer "Brand Manager's" car - he'd taken the covers off as he hated them so much!

Hi DGAsp,

If you are looking for best performance on the road, we, dry or cold combined with longevity, the I believe CrossClimates are the answer.

I've got 41,000 from the rears and 19,000 from the fronts (fronts last half the mileage of the rears approx.)

These were CrossClimate 2s but in my size (225/40R19) looks like I'll have to go with CriossClimate 3 Sports next time. (Black Circles fitted price is £199.99 fitted each for 2 or 4 , so not cheap but well worth it.)
