Skoda Roomster Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Fulda EcoControl HP given 63% (195-55-15-H)
Driving on mostly motorways for 20 average miles
I had the plain EcoContact version (not HP) on my previous car and they were the best tyres I had used, so got the HP version for the first change of tyres 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. .

Writing about the Nexen N Blue ECO given 71% (195-55-15-H)
Driving on mostly motorways for 15 average miles
When new these tyres 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 tyres they were good, but would need a good price level to compensate for the likelihood of early wear.

Writing about the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 given 93% (195-55-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 average miles
Unbelievably grippy in cold rain in UK, very good tyre 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 tyres in UK, as we don’t get 40c summer temps, but often get winter mornings (and whole days) below +7c

Writing about the Viking FourTech given 80% (195-55-15-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 average miles
Very good tyre 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 tyres are produse in heavy rain,maybe from the pattern of the tyre,i have drove them to snow and surprize me with the grip,it sticks well but remember isn't a snow tyre 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 tyre,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 tyre,they are soft yes but don't forget that it is four season tyre.i will definitely buy them again.

Writing about the Gislaved Nord Frost 5 given 91% (195-60-15-T)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 spirited miles
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

Writing about the Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde given 83% (195-55-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 44738 average miles
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.

Writing about the Dunlop Sport BluResponse given 100% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 100 easy going miles
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 tyre 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 Tyres, which was a good price, as many others were quoting £80 - 90 ea for this tyre 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!

I've always thought that my previous Landsail tyres were poor on wet. Until I've tried these Infinites. Infinite horror on wet, that's what they provide. You never know where you will land after you go over a puddle. Now I'm on Hankooks V12 Evo2, but had to put a spare with Infinity Inf-05 on it for a while. And guess what. On every roundabout (the spare went on rear nearside) it was ready to catapult me into the bushes. Just a little rain was enough to loose grip.
