Skoda Octavia Tire Review Highlights
I've had now 2 sets altogether of this type, love them, bought them since 2020 and Jonathan tested them in 2021. I once changed for Kumho 4S but didn't like their wet performance.
The Nexen's last about 32000 miles, they're quiet, perform well in all circumstances and are budget-priced.
The only disadvantage might be the feedback of the tire which is a bit vage if you conform it to summier tires.

Not so much grip on wet, and not so comfortabile tire on bad roads...
Noise and stability is very good on high speed on highway even in flatout on the autobahn. When tires are heated up on road, they get much better for driving...

One of my worst experiences is with these winter tires. They have no grip in rain or snow, I just slide around, but we hardly slow down at all. Even in dry conditions, they are one of the worst winter tires I have ever used. I have them on my company car, I would never buy them for private use, and our company avoids this brand because of complaints from others. They are not much cheaper than tires from better-known tire manufacturers, and a few euros could save lives. Everyone who has driven and used them so far has complained about them!
Please, if your life is important to you, don't buy this tire. Its only advantage is that it's comfortable.

Best summer tires i have driven . On my FWD 200 Hp Octavia i just cant manage to make them slip in the dry (only launch control manages to make them squeak) and in the wet they are absolutely exemplary . better then the benchmark pilot sport 4s in pretty much everyting . maybe Pirreli PZero PZ5 can beat them by small margin in some categiries or some sizes but on my 225/40 R18 they are incredible and cheaper then michelin or pirreli .

I bought a used Skoda Octavia MK4 last summer. The car came with seemingly brand new Sailun Atrezzo ZSR2 tires in 225/50/17 size and XL load rating.
I have now reached the end of useful life for those tires and review my experience with them.
The tires have excellent grip in braking and handling on dry surfaces. I rarely managed to lose traction and if that happened I really needed to thrash on them.
I also rate wet grip as excellent.
The tires were also comfortable and absorbed bumps quite nicely. Noise was not noticeable until the end of the tire life, the worn down rear tires started humming a little of smooth road surfaces. Comfort was ok, but I rated comfort down due to the next paragraph.
Handling wise the tires are not that good. The fact that they don't lose grip is great but they do not give good confidence since the sidewalls are absolutely too soft. The car acted in such a way I was already considering upgrading shocks and springs since it handled like a boat. Bumpy roads and corners felt downrights scary. So I adjusted my speeds and took everything nice and slow, like a grandpa going to church on Sunday.
Luckily the tires wore out and I replaced them with Kumho Ecsta PS72 tires. Wow, what a difference. I do not need to change suspension after all, but that's a story for a different review.
Wear... I have never seen tires wear out so quickly. I mention buying a used car with seemingly brand new tires. I do not know the mileage these tires travelled before me but I only got 16 353 kilometres out of these tires over 2 summer seasons. They can not have had travelled more than few thousand miles, they did look absolutely brand new. After the first summer season tires were rotated to allow for more even wear. This spring as summer tires were installed they had evenly 4.5-5mm of tread left. This got worn down to legal limit in 8622 km of calm easy driving. The ones that were more worn were REARs. Front tires still had some mileage left but I never unmatch my tires. Due to the quick wear and scary wallowy handling I did not want to purchase these tires again.
So there we go. Decent tires, somewhat okay price ( new Kumhos were acutally same price as Sailuns in my area ) but they wear out very quickly.

Great value for money. Forgiving performance when nearing grip limit with a nice linear profile. They do seem to wear out a little faster though but overall a superb value offering from the Finnish manufacturer.

These tires came factory fitted in my Skoda Octavia, these are fantastic tires with excellent fuel economy, very good grip and braking they lasted 5 years and did 100,000 km (62,000 miles) with only 3 times tires rotation throughout their lifetime. Even after 100,000 km they are still okay and can go more but, I couldn’t take more risk. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find them in the local market so I just changed to the Conti Comfort Contact 6 (CC6) I hope they will do a great job. I drive in combination of town and highway driving at high speeds reaching 200 km/hr as well as driving on bad roads with gravels, stones and potholes. I just love these tires. Thank you Continental, that’s why I will always buy Continental tires only.

Worst winter tires I've ever had
tire reviewed on 2024-11-13 14:27:14
after reading reviews bought these to replace horrible factory fitted goodyear efficient grip which made a hollow, humming ringing noise on most road surfaces. What a transformation. The Octavia is now as quiet as the previous passat I traded in. They are also wearing well (about 1mm per 9000km ) so I hope they keep making these as I'm not risking any other brand while I own this car !

Good tires, especially compared to my old Debica Frigo tires. On snow, they are quite predictable: you know what to expect from them and where their limit is. They also hold up average on ice. For frequent driving on ice, I would recommend other tires. These tires perform best on wet snow, when the snow is mixed with water, like slush. In those conditions, they're unbeatable. They handle well, especially when there's a lot of snow mixed with salt or on a strong snowfall when the temperature is mild. These are probably some of the most challenging conditions in a city, because everyone is tense, driving conditions are tough, but you feel confident, both braking and handling in these conditions are excellent.

I've had one pair for about 20k and another fitted 10k ago, it looks like the lifetime is going to be around 35k. I'm an economy driver, so they are a good fit for me, an important factor was the quietness, which they deliver. If you are after a sports feel, you may be disappointed, they don't behave that well in a curve. Given the budget price and lifetime, good value for getting from A to B.
