I'm going to buy 7,0J x 17" Pegasus wheels for my Octy 1.9 TDI PD - 105 bhp

I don't know which tyres to buy: 205/50/17 or 225/45/17

Please help

Both are "regular" fitment for that size wheel on an octavia. 225 will have more tread on the ground, so in theory should be a bit grippier than the same tyre in 205/50.

I have 225/45's on mine.

Yeah mate, but yours has 140Bhp

They came with the sports suspension as a package

not shaw it the 1.9 upgrade would have lesser tyres.

Just had a look on Skoda "UK" no mention of what tyres would be fitted to 17" alloys.

Not sure if Euro spec is differant.

Standard Skoda fit on all 17" alloys is 225/45 R17.

It's the same on the vRS, Superb Elegance and new L+K, so I guess this is what Skoda would recommend. The only difference might be speed rating, as the vRS has a higher top speed than the others.

I'm guessing you would need V-rated tyres, as this goes up to 149mph. H-rated tyres only go up to 130mph.
