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.

Goodyear EfficientGrip 185-60-16 Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi 1,000 miles June 30, 2024
It is a tire that does not cause any problems while driving and goes on long distances without any problems. I recommend it to those who are considering

Nokian Line 185-60-14-H Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi 28,125 miles May 6, 2019
Imensely good on both dry and wet. 45000 Km on them and from 8 mm they are just now at 5 mm, so halfway worn. unfortunately they have a whole lot of cracks on the thread so have to change them. The dot is 4214 so not even 5 years old from production date.

Nexen N Blue HD Plus 195-55-15-V Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi 1,000 miles May 15, 2017
Fitted these tires after running remoulds over last winter. What a difference! Mpg up to 50(ish). Really nice good mannered tire.Quiet on Scottish roads.First time with Nexen.Mainly stuck to premium brands. These trees perform just as good but at half the price. Cannot tell what wear will be like yet.

Fortuna Fortuna Winter Challenger 185-65-14- Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi 20 miles November 9, 2016
Had them for about 4 years now, used only for winter season. Good traction on snow. Budget tires, rubber seems to be of a good quality, soft, deep protector. Although very noisy on high speeds, poor balance quality, after a few bumps starts to vibrate. But rather good wearing. Wont buy again, since there are some decent tires for a low price nowadays.

Apollo Alnac 4g 185-60-14- Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi June 1, 2016
Second, not the end, the other tire is now showing a same kind of mark at the outer side and I requested an online comlaint but they say it is because of allow wheels, I guess no Apollo tire should be able to bear the weight of the vehicle fitted with an alloy wheel, again there is no visit and they say it can not be replaced when I talk to them over the phone.

Nexen N Fera SU4 205-45-16-W Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi 11,000 miles October 23, 2015
I saw these tires, although they have Roadstone on the side wall, they look identical to the Nexen and Roadstone are made by Nexen. Have found these to be excellent, after 11k the fronts still have 4mm of tread and the rears 6mm. Both wet and dry grip is very good and the car feels comfortable to drive. I would recommend these tires.

Continental Premium Contact 2 205-45-16-W Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi 16,000 miles June 10, 2014
Fitted on front to replace worn out Sport Contact 2, no longer available.
Lasted about 16k, seem reasonable but disappointed with wear for £100+ tire.

Continental Sport Contact 2 205-45-16-W Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi 32,000 miles June 10, 2014
Came as OE on my Fabia Estate, disappointed only lasted 16k on the front.
Just changed the rears after 32k, down to 3mm, but no trail left on wet roads, so decided it was time for a change.
Seem quite good in the summer but, in snow no grip whatsoever.

Nexen N3000 205-45-17-W Skoda Fabia 1.4TDi July 30, 2013
Fabia TDI

Just bought 2 for the front replacing 2 Avon VZ. Only driven a few miles and immediate notice that far quieter, firm handling and smoothed out bumps in the road.
Much better than the Avons that had been on just over a year but had to be replaced.
