Skoda Superb MK3 (2015 Present) Tires

I have had them on my car for over 3.5 years, we have driven them in snowy mountains, in the Central European summer heat, in the city and also on the German motorway at 240 km/h. They may not be the best tires for winter and certainly not for driving on the Nürburgring, but for everyday use they are perfect. I chose them because of their good parameters on both dry and wet surfaces, which is a priority for me, since I drive on snow at most once a year. Another advantage was the price, they were €30+ cheaper than Continental and €50+ cheaper than Michelin CrossClimate 2. The tires currently have almost 42 thousand kilometres on them and I will use them for at least another year.

The tires were purchased thanks to TireReviews. It's where I found them, analyzed the available tests, and decided they would be suitable for me. My wife uses the car daily, and I haven't heard any comments about the tires.
Personally, I mostly drive the car during family trips and holidays, and since I live in Germany (DE), the speeds I travel at are higher than the recommended 130 km/h. I always feel confident on the road, whether in the sun or rain; the tires have never let me down. I'm not just a 'straight-line master'; I like taking corners dynamically, and the car has 4x4 drive. The grip is always very good. I have never lost traction. I wouldn't expect excessive comfort from a 19-inch tire size, so it's hard for me to evaluate that aspect. I also don't have much comparison to top-tier brands. Previously, I had Pirellis that simply burst on the inside sidewall. The Maxxis VS5s after 3 seasons with me have micro-cracks on the edges. The tires are coated with Meguiars gel after every car wash. The tread depth remaining is 4mm. Because of this, I have a dilemma: should I buy new ones or leave them for another season? If I were to buy new ones, I would consider the same model again, but I know the Maxxis VS6 is now available, so I will likely buy the newer, improved model instead.
I am a proponent of the price-to-quality ratio and I think these tires are a very good choice. It's a shame there are so few available tests for this type of tire, because we all know that premium tires are always a good choice.

Dry and wet grip is really good, even with FWD 190hp car. Road feedback is quite ok but you can feel it's a little worse than on the summer tire. Tire is slightly on the firm side I would say. When it comes to noise it depends on the surface, on rough ones it's not great. At higher temperatures above 20°C this tire has tendency (at least in my size) to make buzzing sound between 80-120 km/h so it's a little bit disappointing. I haven't had a chance to test it on the snow yet. The most disappointing fact is poor quality control. I had significant problems with vibrations a higher speeds (120+ km/h) and after few balancing efforts we discovered that on of the tires had visible problems with lateral runout (it was the main problem maker) and the other two had also radial runout issues but on the smaller scale. Only one tire was really good. Of course my warranty complaint was rejected by Pirelli, everything was within their own silly quality control standards. After all I replaced 2 tires with another copies and they were good. Vibration problem is almost gone but still I can feel a little this one, not perfectly round tire. Can I recommend this tires? Of cource no, it's an expensive utter junk. Even when you are lucky enough to have 4 good and round tires, there's still problem with strange noises on certain surfaces/temperatures combo. If I've had the ability to buy CC3 in my size I wouldn't even consider this piece of sheet.

I replaced the OE Pirelli P7’s, which had outstanding wear characteristics (37k and still had 3mm) but had poor wet grip and had huge tire roar in the cabin, with these Continental AllSeason tires back in November 2022. They are excellent. Fantastic grip in the wet and in snow and wear seems to be going well too, having covered 16k and they still have 4mm all round. And the biggest bonus is the lack of tire roar in the cabin too. Obviously these have now been superseded by the 2’s but I’m sure they’re just as good.

I just put this model on my Superb and did a "test" on a day of heavy rain and day after on dry and behavior looks great. I had P7 Blue years ago which I did not really like. In the meantime I had Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 that I liked and I definitely like these new C3.

Update on the Michelin Primacy 4+

I turned all the electronic driving aids of on my car and everything improved all round on my Skoda.
The car felt more sure footed and planted on the road and the steering feel was transformed.

Electronic driving aids have a use but it's up to each driver to judge the benefit of not.

This is an update of my previous experience with the Michelin Primacy 4+ on my Skoda Superb series 3.

I have reported on numerous times to a Skoda dealer that the car judgers at low speakers when on turning the steering wheel and the wheels can bounce when load applied.

Dealer reports no issues with the car.

Most probably found the problem : my cars drive mode is always on ( traction control ) I go through the drive menu and turn the traction control off and the problem appears to go away.

These tires perform very well and certainly would purchase again but although a summer tire they are not really suited to Southern European temperatures as a permanent fitment due to tire compounds.

First kilometers from new. Did around 3000 km on these tires on summer trip. Like a tire of this class they were quite good. The only drawback of them were during hot summer days doing high speed travelling on highways. While going 140 km/h and above they sometimes felt a little to soft and car handling started to feel like riding on a jello sometimes. But, nothing dangerous. All in all tires are quite good.

Great overall tire. After 1 season and 15.000km they are down to 6mm, so i guess they will last 2 more season at least .

Driven for about 4 seasons and 60000 km/ 38000 miles. Wear was ok. Grip on wet and dry road was “not great, not terrible”

Overall a good tire all around. Low noise compared to my previous falken summer tires. Lower feedback from front tires at low speeds. Good at high speed on highways. Exceptional in wet conditions and lower temperatures. No signs of higher fuel consumption. Braking is good in wet and dry conditions. Can take some spirited driving in corners which suprises me. Not the best in everything but it does fairly okay everywhere. Overall a good tire for its price and i feel confident. I recommend
