Seat leon fr tyre help

[krispykrish]

Hi, hope everyones having a good xmas,
(new to this)
I have recently picked up a set of seat cupra 19" alloys,
its for my seat leon fr 1.5 mk3.5 2019

can anyone recommend the right tyre size for me?
i was looking through and was going to settle with eagle f1, i do quite abit of mile, say a good 15-18k+ a year, would these last a decent amount of time,
a friend of mine recommended Churchill as they lasted long for him when he owned one and got a good 20k+ mileage out of them...


would i go for 235/35/r19 or 245/40/r19
thanks in advance

Definitely 235/35/19 in size of your lowered or plan on lowering. Make of tyre is upto you as everyone has different expectations for tyres and different things they want from a tyre etc. I’ve got good year f1 on my black Leon and they seem to be a very good road tyre I have no complaints. Each to there own with tyres as everyone has there own recommendations when it comes to tyres.

No really planning to lower tbh… should I have gone bigger or..?

Churchill are a budget brand are they not

The reason tyres these last forever is because they offer no grip at all.

Goodyear Eagles are a nice grippy tyre but for grip you lose longevity.

Cannot have everything i suppose.

I would certainly pick a tyre from a decent brand if it were my choice

No 235/35/19 is the perfect size the cupra R mk2 had that size form factory mate.

Mines mk 3.5
factory mines had 17inch I think it was.
ive bought the 235/35/19. Was just contemplating on the above comment. Am thinking they might be small. If they fine then I’ll leave as is.
Just got them quiet cheap( Halfords deal over the weekend) and the deals done now….

Bridgestone Potenza's i've found are quite hard. Good for mileage. Not my fav tyre anyways

They will certainly be better than a set of Winstons anyways

Ah ok sorry thought yours was a mk2. Do the mk3.5 come with 19s? If so copy that size and you won’t go wrong.

So if I’m not lowering should I go for 235/35 or bigger?

My mk3.5 came with 17”
If I go 19”, the suggested is 235/35/19 but thinking might be small.
I’m not good with this stuff

The 19s on the cupra mk3.5 were 235/35/19 from factory if copy that size.
