I hated these tires from the start as they were extremely noisy on my Skoda Yeti. I got a puncture in one rith away as they are quite soft and it was not repairable so I bought a pair mid-range replacements. They were much quieter and performed better too so I got two more and sold on the Michelins with only 4000+ miles on them. Will never buy Michelin again.

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 Skoda Yeti drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Best winter tires I've had. They'll get me along slippery roads - part refrozen slush and more - with confidence. Wet and dry grip aren't so wonderful, but this isn't what these are sold and used for. I think wear may be quick too.
Bough them before last winter soon after they came out. Winter felt better than budget winter tire. In dry and wet condition they feel much better than summer Riken UHP I bought car with. I have driven on them in temperatures from -15 to +40°C and they work well in all conditions. Only on ice, they are less than ideal, just like most tires without spikes...
A generally good tire with good handling on dry and wet roads. Also good in snow with a 4x4 Skoda Yeti and on light off-road terrain. However, it's noisy on the road above 80 km/h. Finely treaded winter tires are much quieter! It might also depend on the suspension; next time I'll get a different all-weather tire.
Purchased in January and March 2021. These have covered 44000 miles on the front of a front wheel drive Skoda Yeti 1.6 TDI and over 45000 on the rear. No noticeable difference on the factory originals for noise or fuel consumption. Winter grip appears much better than factory fit. Comfort is great. Obviously wear rate is good. I would expect 50000 miles out them. Only one driver and they gets used in all areas, country lanes and tracks through to motorway.
Those tires were on the car when I bought it. There is some tread left, but I decided to get all seasons (Michelin CC3). They are good on dry road, but I cant trust them on wet...
Good solid grip at all times with traction especially good on cold slush. Comfortable ride possibly at the cost of sidewall strength.
Had Avon ZV7 fitted all round on my Skoda Yeti. All four have cracked in the bottom of the treads and on the shoulders although thy have plenty of tread left.
These tires have not done a high mileage and are not that old, so I certainly won't be buying Avon in future.

Fitted a full set on my Skoda yeti 2.0 tdi
4x4
Got 30k miles out of the fronts which is approx 10k more than the Michelin or Bridgestones I have used before
Dry and wet weather not as good as market leaders but at £50 per corner cheaper I didn’t expect them to be as good
I have just fitted a second set at value for money these are by far the best and were far more predictable towards the end of their life than others I’ve tried
Snow and off road they performed just as well as market leaders
Overall very impressed

Dunlop Japan's flagship tire. OE was Dunlop SP Sport 01, made in Germany. Didn't manage to find the limit of those tires. Max 050 plus made in Japan is completely different from Max 050 - much bigger blocks for better performance. These seem better all round than Sport 01, except lower life according to treadwear rating. Sport 01 did 50,000 miles.
