Best Tires for the Skoda Roomster

Budget price, feels like a premium tire. Very safe and predictable in all weathers, appears to be wearing well. Not easy to source. Mine were imported into the UK from Germany.

I had the plain EcoContact version (not HP) on my previous car and they were the best tires I had used, so got the HP version for the first change of tires my current car when the ones it had needed replacement thinking they would be even better, but was disappointed.
They felt hard and not as comfortable and with less grip and handling than the old EcoContacts. They also wore down faster than the old version and became quite shiny and with less grip in the process. OK on the flat and straight in the dry, but once the tread pattern had lost its details, was not as confidence inspiring in the wet even in a straight line. .

When new these tires were a very pleasant surprise, with excellent grip and handling which inspired confidence. Comfortable and quite also and fuel economy was also OK. But they suffered from wear and as a result the performance also dropped off relatively quickly.

Got a puncture in one so decided to change all as the tread was getting low.

Buying again would depend on the price. As tires they were good, but would need a good price level to compensate for the likelihood of early wear.

Unbelievably grippy in cold rain in UK, very good tire when there are puddles. Absorbs bumps and ruts in poor road surfaces (but keep them at lower pressure, not the higher fully laden pressure, for comfort) as they have XL sidewalls.

Only had snow once this winter, and happily went up a hill, (which is why people in UK switch to all seasons, to avoid getting stuck on rare snow days). So works in snow, brilliant when it rains, in my view a perfect solution.

Having tried these not sure why Bridgestone sells summer tires in UK, as we don't get 40c summer temps, but often get winter mornings (and whole days) below +7c

Very good tire for the price(i had the supreme vredrestein quatrac 5, before i install this viking fourtech in my car),the only negative is the noise that this tires are produse in heavy rain,maybe from the pattern of the tire,i have drove them to snow and surprize me with the grip,it sticks well but remember isn't a snow tire and finally you will need snowchain for heavy conditions.the wear after 15.000km is excellent,it is almost like new.in summer temperature(here in greece) the handling is almost like a summer tire,but if you start to drive more sportier they will start to become slippery but not dangerous in any chance.driving in highways with high speed do not expect nery good road feedback from this tire,they are soft yes but don't forget that it is four season tire.i will definitely buy them again.

Very much, very good model
5 seasons 195/60/15 on driving axle - the rest on the center of 5 mm, loss of thorns ~ 25-30%
On rear axle of 100% of thorns have remained, honor tread without wear!!!
Thorns continue to act over the surface of the tire
All tires were left without punctures and damages
It is a pity that have laid off

I put them on my 1.2Tsi 77Kw Skoda Roomster back in September of 2013. Today after ca. 72000 km I have only positive thoughts to share. It is an excellent quite tire, having excellent dry and wet grip performance. I also had them on during winter time as there were no snowy conditions where I live, except last winter. So after 60000km they were unable to cope snow covered roads, but they performed very well on salted wet roads.

They started being a bit noisier after the 60000km mark, but not being tiring on long journeys. They also handled excellent potholes without loosing air.

Excellent tire. I recommend this tire to anyone wants longevity alongside safety and low fuel consumption.

Have bought two 195/55 H15 for the front of my Skoda and felt an immediate improvement in noise levels and ride quality as soon as I drove out of the the tire fitter's garage! Was so impressed a couple of miles down the road that I seriously considered going back to buy two more for the rears. Only my wife stopped me by reminding me how I'd been complaining earlier in the day about all the expenses that were "piling up". Paid £140.98 fitted for the pair at National Tires, which was a good price, as many others were quoting £80 - 90 ea for this tire and other suitable brands. Puttingg price to one side though, I decided on the Dunlop's as I was impressed by the good ratings given in each class for economy, wet weather performance and noise levels. On the basis of my limited experience so far (re the excellent noise levels and ride quality) I hope the high test ratings for economy and braking performance will also be born out as I clock up further miles. Am looking forward to fitting a further two to the rear as soon as I've worn the originals further, and The Good Lady gives permission!
