I had these tires for four years. In the first year, I did not notice anything wrong with them but in time the grip disappeared. In the snow, on ice and even in wet and muddy winter conditions, you could not stop the car without the ABS interfering. They would lose grip in wet conditions. Going on from a standstill uphill, the wheels would span and the tires could not assure the grip needed.

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 Leon SC FR 1.4 TSI drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Feels like running on plastic tyres. You check and double check the air pressure, maybe you overinflated them. :(
No comfort, low grip on dry,with 150 hp you lose grip on accelation, on mountain curves is lacking confidence by not showing you the amount of grip you have and on wet..... Ohhhh...on wet you have to be very carefull. Extra carefull. Zero grip.
After one season i see know small cracks on it. And i don't drive sporty.
They are noisy. More noisy then the winter tyres i had this winter. It sucks.
I bought the car with those tyres. I would not pay a penny on them if i have a choice
Amazing tyre, it is by far the best UHP non premium tyre in the market. It has amazing grip in wet and dry. The drawbacks is that it wears fast ( depending of your driving style) and they are noisy, but other than that the grip and handling is amazing. They have awesone stopping distances and the sidewall is real strong which will help in steering and taking curves fast. Will buy it again, a sure bet with good price.
Best tyre in this price range . I used these tyres on my VW Tiguan last year and it was awesome on snow and icy roads . For my Leon FR , again awesome on snow , average on dry . Even the temprature is above 7 degree of celcius , good grip on dry , about wet grip , its performans is below than average . I will definetely buy again . Wear seems good after 8000 miles .
