So, got my Ateca over the weekened, very pleased with it indeed after a couple of hundred miles. We already have 4 other cars but I can see the Ateca being used a LOT.
My car came with Falken tyres, fairly inoffensive but not top drawer tyre. Tyre spec is 215/50 R18 which is a slightly unusual size with not many options available and all a bit pricey. The 7J rim can take up to a 225 width tyre and if you go to 225/50 or 225/45 there are a lot of better, cheaper tyres compared with 215/50. There are also some runflat options which I might consider as I only have the tyre repair kit.
Has anyone else got or considering runflats? I suppose a concern would be that they might make the already firm suspension a bit harsh.
