Die besten Reifen, die ich je hatte... extrem griffig bei Nässe und Trockenheit. Die Reifen hielten viel länger als gedacht. Sehr empfehlenswert, ich habe gerade ein neues Paar bestellt. Bin vollkommen von der Performance dieses Reifens auf nasser Strecke überzeugt.

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 FR 1.8T drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Les meilleurs pneus que j'ai jamais eus, très adhérents sur le mouillé et le sec. Les pneus ont duré beaucoup plus longtemps que prévu. Je recommande fortement ces pneus, je viens d'en commander une nouvelle paire. Très confiant dans la performance des pneus sur route mouillée.
The best tires I've ever had, extremely grippy wet and dry. The tires lasted a lot longer than i expected. I highly recommend these tires, I've just ordered a new pair. Very confident in tire performance on a wet road.
I run these tires on two cars. I run them on my 1971 VW type 3 and on my 2005 Seat Ibiza FR. The tires have good grip in both wet and dry, I have not done enough miles to assess how well they wear. they seem to cope with power quite well, with the Ibiza running around 240bhp pulling away without drama on a hard launch. One thing to note with these tires is they have quite stiff sidewalls so give plenty of feedback, although they seem to tramline as a result as well, especially on my Ibiza which has a very firm ride (coilovers, polybushes etc), so if your car is set up similarly you may want to take this into account as it can be a little unnerving at first, I suspect it would not be a problem on the average vehicle with standard bushings etc. If you can adjust to this they seem to be an excellent tire for the money, more suited to the British climate than the Toyo Proxes 4's they replaced, which were a great summer tire but not so in the winter.
Not a bad tire for the money, but definitely a summer tire. Dry grip is good with decent feedback, fairly progressive. I ran these on a fast-road setup car with coilovers and polybushes and around 240bhp, and they worked well although as they worse they struggled to put the power down. Wet grip was not the best and therefore driving style should be adjusted as appropriate. The sidewalls are quite soft on these, I found I needed a few extra psi to balance that out or the ride felt a bit 'soggy'. I ran this tire on both 6.5J and 8J rims with no issues.
This is my first winter tire and if I'm honest I'm really disappointed with the experience so far.
I live in the countryside and the roads around here are damp most of the time. I have found there to be very little grip in damp, wet or dry conditions. I have to take roundabouts and bends with care as I can feel the car wanting to slide.
My car has about 250lb/ft of torque (the same as most 2.0 diesels) and it will wheelspin through all the gears at half throttle with these Hankooks on. My summer tires (Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3) are fine with half throttle.
I'm seriously considering putting my summer tires back on until the snow actually hits as I don't feel confident in my car at present.
