All good points.I don't think that Cupra would have marketed a performance car like the VZ with inferior tyres, that would have worked destructively against them!! Bridgestone Turanza T005 are very good tyres, they are not stupid at Cupra, being a performance brand, to fit unsuitable tyres to the car they are introducing themselves with. You may find what generally may be considered a better tyre, that is however quite subjective depending individually on the usage/climate/expectations, but in no way the factory fitted tyres in this case are subpar. Cupra, as most carmakers are choosing tyres that will perform well, handle well, be fuel efficient under most conditions, there is no perfect tyre for all conditions, so you win some you lose some but in no way they are fitting inferior tyres, this would have been like shooting themselves on their foot for a brand that handling and performance is their reference point.
As mentioned, not too fussed about wear.Probably chose Turanzas as you will get decent mileage from new.
Fit something grippier then get loads of complains when everyone having to change tyres in 1st year.
Ha, ha! Indeed. Apologies!CUPRA Ateca I'll have you know 350BHP so need good tyres
I went for eagle f1 assymetric 6 I found them slightly harder than ps4 but better more reactive they just feel stickier in and out of corners car wants to nose in and go...Which particular Goodyears did you go for?

I sort of half agree, I don't really rate the turanza's at all but I don't like the car enough to spend £600 for a different set. I don't do track days, but I changed the standard Hankook's on my previous S3 to Michelin pilot sport 4's and there was a significant difference. The car just felt more planned and much more confidence inspiring. I'd love to try a decent set on my VZ 310, but it's unlikely it will need any before it is sold.Unless you're doing track days, changing the tyres from the OEM ones is going to make pretty much zero difference apart from an unnecessary £600 hole in your wallet.

Looks like it's Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSports.Not seen it yet but I'd be surprised if the VZ5 came with turanza's.
