The VW Audi Skoda Seat Thread

Tyres will be a massive upgrade over the previous 4 year old Conti 5’s that are beginning to crack and have been quite frankly s**t.

Sorry I’m not understanding what you are saying about spacers though.

I wouldn't go too wide on the spacers otherwise imo it looks a bit overdone!

Yeah which is why I’m asking what size etc? Don’t want them poking out too much they just look a little too inset as standard.

This has probably been discussed, but would I be crazy to go for PS5s over PS4S tyres? Both available in 235/25/19, think I value the wet grip of the PS5.

PS5 are good tyres. I had PS4S on the 35d before putting PS5 on. Only reason I didn't go for the 4S's again was due to the extra cost at the time else I would've done. However I'd say they wore quicker than the PS5 are currently.
It's a bit of a balancing act with extra performance vs tyre wear and for me I'd say the 5's are sound all things considered
What car would they be for?

Yeah that's what I figured, it's for an RS3, driven normally the vast majority of the time. Dealer put some mid range tyres on the front before I bought the car to replace some worn PS4S's, really not what I want on through winter, although the tread is obviously fine. PS4S on the rear.
Extra wear would be nice, although I don't do a ton of miles so not a deal-breaker.

I have had PS4s's and now running PS5's and don't notice any real difference between either, tbh both excellent tyres!

PS4S,'s on mk7.5 performance and PS5's on my mk 8 so pretty good comparison
