Best Tires for the SEAT Ibiza FR SC 1.2 TSI

Had these for a few thousand miles. They're super quiet and my average mpg jumped up a little so must be good on fuel. Not as sharp as the summer tires they replaced but felt good compared to other all season and winter tires I've used.

Had the tires on about 2 years/20000 miles. They are wearing slowly but both front tires have split badly and will need replacing. It looks like a manufacturing fault. Don't waste your time with these tires, they shouldn't split to be dangerous after 2 years on a small car.

These tires wear rate is amazing, have 3mm tread left and they have done 45k miles (72km). They are the original OE tires that came with my 2014 Seat Ibiza FT ST. Dry grip is good, they need to be pressurised to 36psi, car manual states 28psi for single occupant however this makes the tires feel like jelly. With the FR having stiffer spring rates and damping, you'd want lower tire pressure to compensate - with a rear torsion beam the ride is very harsh if you sit in the back. The tires do not skip over bumps when cornering even at high air pressures. Wet grip is good - I have also been driving another Ibiza FR with Kumho Ecsta LE Sport and they are scary in the wet, the Pirellis tires are predictable and confident.

I'm about to switch tires, looking at Continental Premium Contact 6. Will review them soon.

Although there are possibly better winter tires suited to the British climate, I really wanted to try out the Nokian WR D4 in snow, so was hopeful for a cold winter.

I've had the tires on from November to March and I've used them in a range of temperatures from sub zero to the mild winter days we've had this time round

My initial reactions when I first had them fitted and it was mild, was that I felt the car frequently understeer on country road corners - obvious, I guess, as there's less rubber on the road. I'm not a particularly fast driver, but I did have to change my driving style slightly while cornering.

When the temperature dropped though these tires felt amazing. Especially 4°c and below the soft compound really gripped the road. I noticed on frosty and icy mornings that the grip level was superior to my summer tires.

Then it snowed. Wow! I almost felt like I was driving in my summer tires on a bone dry road. The Nokians gripped the road to get my up steep hills without a problem, the breaking response was amazing as the car easily slowed or stopped and just general driving in the snow felt normal.

These tires gave me so much confidence in the snow and, having a young child, I felt safe.

They're definitely going back on next winter.

I had Bridgestone tires on my car I replaced them with
Lands ail tires the guy in the tire shop advised me
Not fit them how wrong was he the grip in the wet
Brilliant the road noise was less and my mpg shot up
By 5 to 8 mph .the only negative is a bit less feedback
In the steering brilliant tires

I use the tires about 8 month in 2 years. I saw all weather conditions, wet, snow, ice... It's still very good at -20 C

I was not waiting this good tires at this price!
