My Seat leon cupra with 306ps (stock) doesn't really suite these tyres. Even in the dry, 1st and 2nd and Even 3rd loose traction and in the wet they have barely any traction under acceleration. One going they're good handling tyres but the traction under load isn't great at all.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What SEAT Cupra 300 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I drive my car mainly on track, I done 4 trackdays in 4 months/5,000km.
By the 4th trackday the tyres were too worn take the power of my car and give me confidence into the bends. I done 5 trackdays last year on Michelin PS4s and they were only half worn.
I do think the Goodyears are as good as the Michelins but did not last as long.
I’m undecided what to buy yet for the next year of trackdays but currently swaying towards the Goodyears again due to price difference.
Amazing tyre, done 5 trackdays in 3 months/8,000km over 9 months. Only half worn after all the hard driving.
The grip on track is unreal in the dry and wet. Great feedback also. Going to try Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport next to compare.
Been very pleased with these tyres. Give a lot of confidence in winter conditions. Very good on icy ungritted roads . Excellent on motorways in the wet .For the price , can’t recommend them enough
These tyres aren't horrible, but they have 2 big weaknesses. First straight line grip isn't great, too much wheel spin and wheel hop, making fast starts a bit of a tricky affair. The other weakness is wear. Its really terrible. I'll be lucky to see 6000 miles from them, and that mostly low speed town driving.
Handling and feedback is decent and they are safe, but the weaknesses really mean I wont get them again, and cant recommend them.

Good tyres for a winter option on a budget. Not high performance by any stretch of the imagination.
I wouldn't trust these for track use, but very good in the ice and snow!
Without snow, they're not really worth it however.
