New Skoda VRS

[K1W1]

I think that list just reflects that fact that vehicles have to be able to be manufactured for a world market with varying expectations and regulations.
Things like safety triangles first aid kits and extinguishers are mandatory in some European countries. The front child seat anchor would be no use in Victoria because to use it will be illegal after November likewise heated washer jets really have no practical purpose in the overall Australian market.

Back on the subject of tyres if anybody wants a specific tyre on their car it's a simple process to get them fitted by the dealer prior to delivery. All decent dealers have arrangements with a local tyre specialist whereby they can trade in the brand new OEM tyres for a set of whatever the customer wants. You won't get your dream tyres for free but you will get what you want at a good price. Dealers will also swap wheels between vehicles but generally whole shipments of vehicles come with the same tyre so this batch may be Michelin, the batch in two months might be all Pirelli, the next Dunlop and so on so what you usually need is some unsold cars lying around to be able to get different tyres and that is not always a good thing (unsold cars that is).
