Skoda Superb Gets New RoadX Tyres at Pellon Tyres Halifax
Monday mornings are often busy at Pellon Tyres and Autocentre in Halifax, and this week was no exception.
The first job of the day involved a smart Skoda Superb that had arrived for one of our free tyre safety inspections. We always encourage motorists to have their tyres checked regularly, especially before setting off on longer journeys or when they begin to notice changes in the way the vehicle handles.
The owner of this particular Skoda had done exactly the right thing by calling in for a free check.
Free Tyre Checks Can Save Money: Skoda Superb Gets New RoadX Tyres
The inspection was carried out by Adam, one of our experienced tyre technicians. Adam checked all four tyres, carefully measuring the remaining tread depths and looking for any signs of uneven wear or damage.
It quickly became clear that two of the tyres had reached the point where replacement was required.
Many motorists are surprised when they learn how quickly tyres can wear on today’s modern vehicles. Cars are generally heavier than they used to be, with larger wheels, more powerful engines and increased loads all contributing to tyre wear.
The Skoda Superb is a perfect example. It is a large family car that offers excellent comfort, plenty of space and impressive motorway performance. However, like any vehicle, it relies on having safe tyres fitted if it is to perform at its best.
The History of the Skoda Superb
The Superb has become one of Skoda’s flagship models and has helped transform the company’s reputation over the past two decades.
Many older motorists will remember when Skoda was often the subject of jokes. However, since becoming part of the Volkswagen Group, the Czech manufacturer has gone from strength to strength.
Today’s Superb is a world away from those early models. It is well engineered, comfortable, economical and packed with modern technology. In fact, many drivers consider it to be every bit as capable as some of its more expensive German rivals.
The Superb has become a familiar sight throughout Halifax, Calderdale and the wider Yorkshire region, where drivers appreciate its practicality and reliability.
Why We Recommend RoadX Tyres: Skoda Superb Gets New RoadX Tyres
After discussing the available options with the customer, we recommended one of our favourite mid-range tyre brands, RoadX.
RoadX tyres have become increasingly popular with our customers over the past few years. We have fitted hundreds of them across a wide variety of vehicles and have received consistently positive feedback.
One thing we particularly like about RoadX is the excellent value for money they offer. Customers often tell us that they achieve very good mileage from the tyres whilst maintaining a comfortable and predictable driving experience.
For this Skoda Superb, we fitted two new 235/40ZR19 RoadX RXMotion tyres.
The RXMotion is designed to provide strong wet-weather performance, good steering response and excellent stability at motorway speeds. These qualities make it an ideal choice for larger family cars such as the Superb.
Why We Fitted the New Tyres to the Front
One question we are often asked is where new tyres should be fitted.
At Pellon Tyres, our general recommendation is to fit the newest tyres to the rear axle whenever possible, as this provides the greatest stability in wet conditions. However, every vehicle must be assessed individually, taking into account tyre condition, wear patterns and vehicle setup.
In this case, we rotated the wheels appropriately and ensured the vehicle left with the best possible tyre arrangement for safe motoring.
Correct tyre positioning can make a significant difference to handling, particularly during heavy rain and emergency manoeuvres.
Wheel Alignment Matters: Skoda Superb Gets New RoadX Tyres
While the vehicle was with us, we also carried out a wheel alignment check.
This is an important part of any tyre replacement. If a vehicle’s wheel alignment is incorrect, new tyres can wear unevenly and their lifespan can be dramatically reduced.
Unfortunately, potholes remain a common problem throughout Halifax, Brighouse, Elland and many other parts of Calderdale. Even a relatively minor impact can knock the alignment out of specification.
By checking and adjusting the wheel alignment, we help customers get the maximum life from their tyres and improve the overall handling of their vehicle.
Another Happy Customer: Skoda Superb Gets New RoadX Tyres
With the new RoadX tyres fitted and the wheel alignment completed, the Skoda Superb was ready to return to the road.
The owner left knowing that the vehicle was safer, the tyres were performing as they should and future tyre wear had been minimised.
Stories like this happen every day at Pellon Tyres and Autocentre. Sometimes a quick free tyre inspection identifies an issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
Whether you drive a Skoda Superb, a family hatchback or a large SUV, regular tyre checks remain one of the simplest and most effective ways of keeping your vehicle safe.
As we always say, your tyres are the only part of the car that actually touches the road. Looking after them is one of the best investments you can make.
