tyre

Got standard 16's on my standard TDI 140, I believe the tyres have been on since new and now on 17K and fronts are getting near legal limit, backs have loads of life in them, question is.. should I stay with Bridestones or try some F1's bearing in mind winter is coming, I don't drive like a...

Hi, Have a Seat Leon FR which had/has Bridgestone Potenza 225/45/R17 tyres fitted from new (2006). Had to replce the front two back in June/July, and now the back ones have been highlighted at the service as wearing on the inside. Just wondered what others think about these tyres and how...

Now i lowered the car around 3000 miles ago. (-45mm) I look at the tyres yesterday as they wee getting low, and the inside on both front sides has been wore down more than the rest. As in now i need new tyres... Apart from new tyres, what else do i need to do? I guess it's just...

Cars been a bit floaty on the rear end since I had new tyres put on, could this have knocked something out of line?

HI as the above I was wondering what the tyre pressure would be for these tyres as the pressure on the fuel cap would prob be for Std tyres Im guessing. Our tyres are 205/45/16 Many thanks

Right, here is one for you. My Altea 2.0 TDI 140 TCS light came on and stayed on a few months ago, didn't really investigate as I found it intrusive and life is better without it. Few weeks ago the tyre pressure warning light came on, found a puncture, had it repaired, was ok for a few...

Hello gents. My mk2 Cupra will soon be needing some new front tyres after 18500miles. Is anyone getting many more miles from a front set with normal driving than that? Has anybody got a recommendation as to what brands i should go for? price vs performance vs durability? At the moment i...

Well I'm sure I read some where in the manual that it was 33psi front & 30psi rear but I had my 2 rear tyres changed today & the guy said that they should be 26psi rear & 29psi front...so what is the correct pressure for standard LCR 18"s? Cheers Will

Sorry if this has already been asked but couldn't find a thread. I replaced the tyres (all round) on my FR TDI in March of this year and after about 8k notice the fronts are wearing, where as the backs look brand new. I was wondering what the opinion was on rotating the back to the front. I...

I've been reading the forums looking for help with the dreaded rear wheel running noise which is driving me mad on motorways. I finally need 4 new tyres and am getting rid of the hell that has been the factory fit Bridgestones and am going to get some Goodyear Excellence instead. My...

Hey, Ever since i've had my cupra (2 years) i've been replacing my front tyres every 6months or so. This is mainly due to them Wearing heavily on the insides. My car has had several Camber/Tracking Alignments, the wishbones have been poly bushed just before the last tyre change, and...

Does anyone have any info on whether I should vary my tyre pressures on my 08 Cupra for track-day circuit laps ? :confused: I suspect they might need to be harder than for std road use, but anyone with experience / data on this, - can you help ? Thanks

My ibiza fr has been lower 40mm but only on springs, but the inner edge on the tyres are really worn, what shall I do??? 4 wheel alignment or what???

My mate wants to fit my old Leon Cupra 17'' star fish alloys to his ibiza. We tried them on but they rub tyre size is 225/45/17. What tyre size will be needed to stop the rubbing? Thanks Paul

Uneven tyre wear is a pretty common problem on the mk4. My TDISport130 is no exception - the inside edges of the front tyres are wearing faster than the rest of the tyre, despite having a 4 wheel alignment done when the tyres were fitted. Should I switch the front tyres around to move the...

To be fair I didnt check the tyres on this when I got the car. (Well I checked the outsides and middles but not the inner) Looking at these photos however 3 tyres are all fine and have about 3mm of tread left. This tyre however (Drivers side) Looks like its very heavily worn on the inner side...

I dont want as low as the 205-40-17 that i have on because u feel every bump , i was told to try 225-45-17's would those scrub? lowered 50mm

what is the correct tyre pressure for the new ibiza cupra?

Came back from holiday the other day late at night and then headed to work the next morning quite early. A couple of minutes from home and I hit this massive pot hole that had developed since I had been away. I saw it too late. It was on quite a narrow bit of road and a lorry was coming in the...

Can someone tell me the minimum legal speed rating for the tyres? SEAT IBIZA TDI 1.9 FR (130) 205/45/16 came with W (168mph) on, but can I change them to a V (149mph) as the cars top speed is only about 130 - the handbook dosen't mention speed rating at all....:confused: Cheers
