Just joined the forum and wanted to say Hi ! to everyone....
And pose a serious question. Yeti's (the early ones) are starting to get on, so once you've worn out your factory set of tyres which ones do you replace them with ?
I have a couple of Skoda Yetis (both 140 4x4 Diesel) one was delivered with Good Years the other with Dunlops Sport SP01s.
So, after a couple of years and over 25,000 miles on each Yeti the question was, which Factory tyre had worked best for me and do I replace the worn factory items with the same again ? OR look elsewhere.
In my experience, the Dunlops out performed the Good Years. They werequieter, gaveme better handling characteristics, but I did find that the Good Years gave a little better fuel economy (only about 0.2 litres/100km), but over 20k miles it makes a little difference.
However, when it came to replacing either tyre I was blown away by the cost of buying the same tyres again. Even buying the tyres online I was looking at over 160 Euro per corner. (Inthe UK I was getting quotes of 140 pounds).
This I didnt think thiswas value for money, a Yeti isnt a sports car or luxury limo, so I wasnt going to pay those kinds of prices.
So, to those who've had the same thoughts, what did you replace your Factory Fitted Tyres with ?
In the end I plumbed for Hankook Ventus V12 evo (K110) and saved over 100 Euro on a set over the Dunlops and more over the Good Years.
