Awesome summer tires. Bought a new pair, mounted on rear axle. These are now made in Czech Republic but same are like those I had from S.Korea. These are not V-indexed, only H, and labeled B+C but 66dB, perfectly quiet tires!! Top comfort for harder trimmed car like my Ibiza. ...Ran with them about 1000 km, for now are excellent. I will buy it again and again,good price, good tire!

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 Ibiza 1.4 Sportrider drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I've bought them in january 2016 for my winter set on steel wheels. Seat Ibiza 1,4 86HP. First two seasons very good,after that they are a bit harder but quite ok. Driving on them here in Vojvodina(Serbia) and Hungary from oktober to march. During january 2019 tested in very hard snow and icy roads,job well done. Satisfied. They are cheaper brand of Continental-made in Slovakia,for my dimensions, but they are Czech brand. Wear is excellent. Not loud tire. Good choice for normal drive. Recommendations. Closest relatives are Viking,Matador,Sportiva and Gislaved tires...mid range,should buy it. Winter is not for sporty drive. I wish u all many happy kilometers and drive carefully.
Satisfied.Very good tires. I've bought first pair in 2016 and second in 2017. I saw test review in Auto Bild 2015 summer tire test. They took 4th place and were better than some majors...Bought it because Seat Ibiza is a harder trimmed car and with these soft tires I compensate bumpy cracked roads here in Serbia and Hungary. Very soft,good handling,quiet....we were 4 times in Greece during a hot summer and they made about 25.000 km. First tires that were fitted on Ibiza were Dunlop Sport 2000 and were very bad and so hard and they were losing they diameter after 10.000km....and only I can say that Nexens are awesome. Good in braking,good on highway and local way and good in curves,only problem is a bit higher wear because they are soft but for me quite ok...My recommendations. I'll buy them again. Mid range,not premium but are very close.
They are decent tires on both dry and wet, but if they're pushed a little bit to hard the tires will lose grip.
One of the downsizes of these tires, is tire wear.. after 10.000 km I found some nasty ruptures ( 3-4 cm long) along the rolling surface and also the tires started wobbling .

My car had them on since i bought it used. They were 1 year old with around 10000km on. They were planted on the road, had good feedback, i can say they were very good on the highway, but that's it. They scared me 2-3 times most in wet condition, also in dry they were trying to find grip. Conclusion overall not a bad tire, but not something special either. The car is 08 ibiza sport 3dr with sport suspension and for one year use, i changed them. (uncofortable for my suspension setup and the compound became hard until it didn't find grip and always using esp when i went faster in the corners). Wear was good and you had a good feedback on the wheel. I'd rather buy something else for the same price.
The positive point of this tires is the wear. 4 tires with normal rotation dured about 40000 km with normal driving, mainly urban. The wet grip is not good, very unsafe but in Portugal doesn´t rain that much. As long as i drive safely in wet road it´s ok. The road noise and confort is average but in the motorway they are extremely noisy. If you have a small and compact car and want a lasting tire with a budget price, this could be a good tire. Otherwise dont buy it.
I'm a huge fan of this model.
I'm very pleased with my tires!
Excelent, on wet are the GOD of all!
Reallly!

My Seat Ibiza came with these fitted as standard. Excellent tires. Just reached 39,000 and changed the front tires today. Same again. Highly recommended
