Skoda Octavia VRS Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Aptany RA301 given 26% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 600 spirited miles
Dealership slapped these bargain basement boots on my Octavia just before I bought it so it would get through an MOT. My initial thought was I'd keep them on until I wore them out but turns out I'll probably meet my end before that so I'll likely swap them out for set of Eagle F1s or similar to deny the reaper for a little longer. They were... Passable in the dry, car felt like it handled poorly but not in an unsafe way. The wet was a different story, the braking distance was suddenly measured in light-years and the car struggled to both find and keep traction while cornering and in in-gear acceleration (from some moderate but not excessive driving). It felt like my tires had been replaced by some devious little gremlins with 4 circular blocks of ice.
In reality, these tires are probably fine if fitted to a small city car or underpowered hatchback with a driver who is allergic to lateral acceleration. However, I'd make sure you are a beneficiary on their life insurance policy just in the event of a wet emergency stop or alternatively they live in the middle of the Sahara desert or the centre of death valley.

Writing about the Sava Intensa UHP 2 given 87% (225-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
"Made In Germany" These Sava Intensa UHP 2 are made in Germany previous versions were made in the Kranj factory in Slovenia. And Sava is a Slovenian brand. I find these tires very quiet and suit my style of driving. Some might feel that the sidewalls are a little soft but unless you drive very agressivley this is no problem. I feel safe and secure on the road and confident in braking in both dry and wet conditions. Road noise is greatly reduced from previous factory fit Bridgestone tires. Wear wise I don't cover the mileage i once did and tires that last too long will result in tread blocks cracking. There may be better tires out there but for me the Sava Intensa UHP 2 does the job I want them too, at a reasinable price.

Writing about the Continental Premium Contact 6 given 91% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5300 spirited miles
Its not the comfiest of tires (noise). But of the other hand it works well, great stability in higher speeds and superb response from the wheels. Wet conditions performance is also solid. I can recommend this tire! Its either continental or Michelin.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport given 86% (225-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 spirited miles
I was running michelin pilot supersports, (18s so couldn't get PS4S) but after the review of these vs the PS4S I thought I'd give them a go. I will compare direct to the michelin supersports. handling is just as good, dry grip is just as good, braking just as good,so no problems there , then we come to wet grip.... wow, MUCH better than the supersports. As far as I'm concerned there are no drawbacks to these tires, excellent in every way. equally to the michelin, but better in the wet. Another good thing, much cheaper than the michelin supersports too!

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta PS91 given 45% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 5000 average miles
Dry grip was good. In general the tire was comfortable. Wet grip was scary a lot of aquaplaning when I went into any amount of water.

Writing about the Avon ZV7 given 86% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 miles
Bought a skoda vrs 230 in september that came with p zeros on which i found great in the dry but shocking in the wet so ordered some Avons zv7s on offer £67.00 per tire ! Soooo glad i did it transformed my car no horrid wheelspin in wet and after 6000 miles can say the tires fill you with confidence on wet or dry roads a superb all round tire will be putting on again as i drive a lot in our ever increasing wet weather , well done Avon !

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta PS71 given 50% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Purchased these Kumho’s to try something different, I usual use Conti, Dunlop or Bridgestone.

I found them average in the dry but shocking in the wet. They did not like any patches of water and pulled the car into water spots but then in the dry they felt like any other tire driving normal but did not take long to reach the limits when driving hard.

I will be going back to my normal choice next time.

Writing about the Sava Intensa UHP 2 given 90% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 2000 average miles
I would like to confirm the fact stated by another reviewer that my Sava Intensa UHP2 are marked "Made in Germany". So not all Sava tires are made in the factory in Kranj, Slovenia. Some are indeed made in the GY factory in Germany. My previous set of Sava UHP's were made in Slovenia, but not this set of 2's. These are the quietest tires I have driven on, they feel sure footed with just a small amount of flex in the sidewalls when cornering. I don't drive into corners like an F1 driver but prefer a more comfortable speed. The Sava's never feel they are going to let me down unlike previous Potenza's which suffered wheel hop in the wet from traffic lights.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S given 77% (235-35-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
I have Skoda Octavia vRS 2019.
Before those tires i had the original one ( Pirelli P zero).
Those tires was so much better, the feedback is amazing and the grip is perfect !
But i have to say that after 3 track days and 10K kilometers the tyers are dead !
