Best Tyres for the Skoda Superb MK3 (2015 Present)

Less than a year old and 7k miles and worn down across the whole tyre. Drive carefully no wheel spinning and they are done already very poor value, skoda superb 2.0tdi 150bhp estate

Not happy to be honest, wont buy again

I have had them on my car for over 3.5 years, we have driven them in snowy mountains, in the Central European summer heat, in the city and also on the German motorway at 240 km/h. They may not be the best tyres for winter and certainly not for driving on the Nürburgring, but for everyday use they are perfect. I chose them because of their good parameters on both dry and wet surfaces, which is a priority for me, since I drive on snow at most once a year. Another advantage was the price, they were €30+ cheaper than Continental and €50+ cheaper than Michelin CrossClimate 2. The tyres currently have almost 42 thousand kilometres on them and I will use them for at least another year.

The tires were purchased thanks to TyreReviews. It's where I found them, analyzed the available tests, and decided they would be suitable for me. My wife uses the car daily, and I haven't heard any comments about the tires.
Personally, I mostly drive the car during family trips and holidays, and since I live in Germany (DE), the speeds I travel at are higher than the recommended 130 km/h. I always feel confident on the road, whether in the sun or rain; the tires have never let me down. I'm not just a 'straight-line master'; I like taking corners dynamically, and the car has 4x4 drive. The grip is always very good. I have never lost traction. I wouldn't expect excessive comfort from a 19-inch tire size, so it's hard for me to evaluate that aspect. I also don't have much comparison to top-tier brands. Previously, I had Pirellis that simply burst on the inside sidewall. The Maxxis VS5s after 3 seasons with me have micro-cracks on the edges. The tires are coated with Meguiars gel after every car wash. The tread depth remaining is 4mm. Because of this, I have a dilemma: should I buy new ones or leave them for another season? If I were to buy new ones, I would consider the same model again, but I know the Maxxis VS6 is now available, so I will likely buy the newer, improved model instead.
I am a proponent of the price-to-quality ratio and I think these tires are a very good choice. It's a shame there are so few available tests for this type of tire, because we all know that premium tires are always a good choice.

These are the original tires on my Skoda Superb 1.5 TSI (2023 model). I've driven a total of 23,000 km on them. I've noticed that the ABS occasionally engages when I brake suddenly at low speeds on dry roads. The car also slips during quick accelerations, even with gentle driving. This slipping could be due to factors like the long wheelbase or the lack of all-wheel drive. I'm looking for alternative tires but haven't decided yet. However, I'm considering changing the tires.

Dry and wet grip is really good, even with FWD 190hp car. Road feedback is quite ok but you can feel it's a little worse than on the summer tire. Tire is slightly on the firm side I would say. When it comes to noise it depends on the surface, on rough ones it's not great. At higher temperatures above 20°C this tire has tendency (at least in my size) to make buzzing sound between 80-120 km/h so it's a little bit disappointing. I haven't had a chance to test it on the snow yet. The most disappointing fact is poor quality control. I had significant problems with vibrations a higher speeds (120+ km/h) and after few balancing efforts we discovered that on of the tires had visible problems with lateral runout (it was the main problem maker) and the other two had also radial runout issues but on the smaller scale. Only one tire was really good. Of course my warranty complaint was rejected by Pirelli, everything was within their own silly quality control standards. After all I replaced 2 tires with another copies and they were good. Vibration problem is almost gone but still I can feel a little this one, not perfectly round tire. Can I recommend this tires? Of cource no, it's an expensive utter junk. Even when you are lucky enough to have 4 good and round tires, there's still problem with strange noises on certain surfaces/temperatures combo. If I've had the ability to buy CC3 in my size I wouldn't even consider this piece of sheet.

I replaced the OE Pirelli P7’s, which had outstanding wear characteristics (37k and still had 3mm) but had poor wet grip and had huge tyre roar in the cabin, with these Continental AllSeason tyres back in November 2022. They are excellent. Fantastic grip in the wet and in snow and wear seems to be going well too, having covered 16k and they still have 4mm all round. And the biggest bonus is the lack of tyre roar in the cabin too. Obviously these have now been superseded by the 2’s but I’m sure they’re just as good.

I just put this model on my Superb and did a "test" on a day of heavy rain and day after on dry and behavior looks great. I had P7 Blue years ago which I did not really like. In the meantime I had Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 that I liked and I definitely like these new C3.

Update on the Michelin Primacy 4+

I turned all the electronic driving aids of on my car and everything improved all round on my Skoda.
The car felt more sure footed and planted on the road and the steering feel was transformed.

Electronic driving aids have a use but it's up to each driver to judge the benefit of not.
