Finally changed these after 65000 miles and not because they were worn out. They still had approx 4 mm of tread across entire tire! I replaced because of age related issues. They were 8 years old and had increasing amounts of sidewall cracking notably where the tread meets the sidewall. The car does sit out in the Spanish sunshine all day everyday and the start and finish of every journey is three miles on a dusty gravel track so this cracking is not surprising. The tire did get harder as it got older and was always firm to drive on and slightly noisier than average but 65000 miles is pretty good. I would buy again but the local garages don't stock them.

Fitment comes from each tire'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 Ateca 2.0 tdi drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Good tires.
I drove around 5k miles, 1 summer and 1 winter. Noticed a bit higher rolling resistance only after switching from old summer tires, but it’s not a significant difference. After reading reviews I expected them to be much louder, but they are not.
They are great in dispersing water on wet road.
This winter has been really cold with a lot of snow and ice, and I can say they have been great, in combination with my cars ESP I felt safe and confident even in very snowy and icy roads.
