SEAT Skoda Octavia III 1.6 TDI Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate 2 given 80% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 average miles
After a total usage of 90.000 miles, i had to replace my summer and winter tyre sets. As i will likely not keep the car for another 9 years, i opted to buy a good all season tyre set to avoid extra cost and hassle to change sets two times a year. Anyways, the finalists were Continental and Michelin. Price was high but i preferred Michelin since it looked considerqably quiet on paper.

My original choice was 94V XL version for durability but had to go for 91W due to stock issues. I am generally happy with the ride comfort. Real smooth ride after factory fit ContiEcoContact 5. Road noise is generally very low, no complaint so far. Dry grip is very good, no abs kick. As it is summer over here, not much experience on wet yet but wet grip seems good. Handling and road feedback is better then my expectataitions.

The only drawback is the fuel consumption. It noticeably increased by 4-5 percent, even after increased pressure. It is worse with recommended pressures. However, ride comfort is still good after applying higher pressure. Compared to ContiEcoContact 5 ( "A" fuel consumption rating), the car is not that agile, feeling like tyre is absorbing energy. But this should be normal as grip is much much better than before.

No comments on winter usage yet. We will see winter.

I am wondering the tread life of "W" speed rating. I hope it will not erode it that soon.
