Wheels and tyres for good ride on a Yeti
I agree with what you say about low profile tyres and have been trying to order a 1.8 TSI with factory fitted 16" wheels.
This seems impossible, even if I could swap with a willing Yeti owner, they come with 215/60 R16 95h tyres as opposed to 225/50 R17 94w. I assume the 95h is a lower rated tyre and may not be correct for the 1.8 TSI?
If I bought wheels and tyres on the after market, what would you recommend?
How long has the 1.8 tsi been in production? Is it due for replacement any time soon?

The Yeti 1.8TSI 4WD is probably best on the standard tyres it come on. Been around since the launch, but now better economy and lower CO2. Original tested here October 2009: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/skoda/skoda-yeti-1.../
