    Sporty (summer) tyre recommendations?

    Am thinking of replacing the tyres on my 2021 Seat Ibiza FR 110 TSI for something nicer, they're currently on the original 215/45 R17 91W Nexen N Blue HD Plus tyres, they're not terrible but steering is a bit slow and vague and am sure can get something that's better in the wet and which provide...

For this I’m wondering if it could be a good idea to get all season tyres, what are peoples thoughts if you’ve had all season tyres? Also, do you know if I need to replace the spare tyre or if it...

  6. Tyres comfort question

    My wife has got her Formentor VZ310 for 11 months. It came with Bridgestone T005 19 inch tyres. These felt like a pretty harsh ride, so I had to lower the pressures from the recommended 2.7 bar to 2.5 in order to gain at least some comfort. For the winter I got her Hankook tyres, which turned...

    Cupra 300 Tyres

    2018 Cupra 300 DSG has Sumitomo HTR Z5 tyres on the front and even more budget tyres on the rear, this is how it was from the dealer. Should I bother with changing the fronts to some like the Eagle F1 or PS4s or the like for the front? As I understand I should notice the difference from...

    Cupra Ateca Wheels & Tyres (Summer/Winter)

    I have been looking into a second/replacement set of alloys for a while. Initially I wanted to try and get some of the 19" copper alloys but this has proven difficult. One quote was £2500+ which is ridiculous and I won't be paying that. My theory was, essentially to have a set of alloys with...
  12. Sidewall damage

    Hello, This is my first post/question. I recently purchased a Seat Leon FR and scuffed my alloys and tyres on the same day! Upset would be an understatement! I just wanted to some advice around whether I change my brand new tyres due to some of the tyre peeling of the side? Image attached. Moe

    Best Tyres for Front Grip

    I've had my 2017 Cupra 300 DSG since November last year. It's got Bridgestone 235/35 r19 tyres on the front. Although the front end grip round corners is awesome I find that they let go too easily from a standing start so that the traction control kicks in. Apart from that making it feel like...

    Hi all. Apologies if this has been covered before. I've got an Ibiza FR115 Sport DSG. Loving the car in almost every way (bar a really annoying rattle from the parcel shelf somewhere and an occasionally stubborn infotainment screen esp when loading AA) The issue I have is trying to get a...

  20. Winter or All Season Tyres?

    Recently bought another set of wheels to use for winter but I'm not sure whether to get some winter or all season tyres for them. I live on the east coast of Northern Ireland, relatively near the sea so I don't get huge amounts of snow in the winter, mostly rain and sleet so I'm sure if...
