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.

Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+ 215-40-17 SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.4 TSI 23,830 miles October 22, 2026

Hello; I bought the Goodyear Ultragrip Performance Plus winter tires I was using in my Seat Ibiza CUPRA vehicle on January 23, 2023 and assembled it at 77420 kilometers, and I used it without removing it in the summer and winter months, my vehicle is 101250 as of now. It came to the kilometer, the physical condition of the tires is 65% and the handling and brake performance in all conditions are very high, it has traveled 23830.kilometers during about four years of use and in this process, the tires are 35% old, I drive an average of seven thousand kilometers per year and I am very satisfied with Goodyear ultragrip performance plus tires real rubber tires and top quality

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 215-40-17- SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.4 TSI 25,000 miles September 25, 2022
I use 215/40/17 87Y Michelin PS4s in my 2013 Ibiza CUPRA vehicle in the summer season, high performance summer tire for the summer heat on the Mediterranean coastline in the South of Turkey, it provides very safe handling even at high speeds on dry or heavy rainy roads, very safe after the tires are warmed up. it grips well, grips the road well, very fast and superior grip steering response on mountainous and tight curvy roads between cities, super slip on the panic brake on the dry city road when cold, ABS is activated very often, but I think the reason is because it is a low profile sporty tire with 40 sidewalls, about 25,000 since 2017 as a summer set of them. I use mileage, I have a separate set of tires for winter. I think that MICHELIN does not produce summer tires as long-lasting as winter tires, unfortunately PS4s were subject to rapid deformation despite low mileage and became old. I will replace them with ASYM 6s in the summer of 2023.

Michelin Alpin A4 185-60-15- SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.4 TSI September 15, 2022
Perfect in all conditions, even in hot and dry weather, winter performance, like summer tires, no words for grip, handling, and even at high speeds, top five stars, even at 225.km/h (185/60/15 88H AO) very safe, thank you MICHELIN.

Kumho Ecsta LE Sport 215-40-17-V SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.4 TSI 30,000 miles June 13, 2020
I run them on a Seat Ibiza Cupra. As as daily they are okay. Comfort isn't really the best. Wear is okay/good with 30k miles and they have 3mm left Feedback is okay but nothing special. You can tell when they start to loose grip on the racetrack. Wet grip is for sure better than dry grip. I run them twice on a trackday. They tend to overheat quite fast

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 215-40-17- SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.4 TSI 28,750 miles February 20, 2017
after 46000km with these tires i definetely say that i would not buy these tires again. why? the answer is simple. very noisy,comfort level is low. dry and wet grip is almost perfect, wear is avarage thanks to stone feeling. these tires would be more comfortable on the size 205 45 17. however, not an first choise such a car like ibiza cupra. coz cupra isolation is low, road noise and comfort are only avarage. i will replace them with hankook ventus v12 evo2 in few days.

Kumho Ecsta KU39 215-40-17-W SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.4 TSI 6,000 miles February 15, 2016
I bought the Kumho KU39s to replace factory fitted Bridgestone RE050s which were very disappointing in terms of wet grip off, with frequent loss of traction from a standing start away from a junction or roundabout. The Kumhos were a revelation with far improved levels of traction, braking and comfort in city driving and highway speeds up to 70 mph. The only real criticism I can make is the vibrations and noise levels in excess of 70 mph. This tire is an excellent budget choice proving how much progress Korean brands have made of late and certainly worth buying instead of a regular budget tire.

Goodyear UltraGrip 8 195-55-15- SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.4 TSI 1,500 miles November 24, 2011
Very nice tires, highly recommend. I've had them on the car for about 1500 miles and they're very comfortable and quite on the motorways. Wet grip is good, you get good feeling back through the steering but they do get a little "snappy" if you're right on the edge and decide to turn.

Been through some rather muddy patches and grip wise they're amazing, not once did the TC kick in and I've yet to skid (or trigger the ABS) when stopping.

Dry grip is as good as any tire, they're narrower than my summer tires so I'm bound to notice a little loss, but that's more to do with my car setup than the tires.

Wear is always hard to comment on after so few miles, but I can say the rubber still has the little nobbles on and if you jet wash a section it still looks brand new ;)
