changing wheels and tyres Superb Sedan

Yeah, of course it will cost more. My old 2005 Outback came with a spare alloy and the same tyre that was in the other 4 wheels.

My stupid Gen2 liberty had a spare tyre the same size as the road wheels...... on a steel rim. As does the Octavia in Elegance spec. Fail on the part of both manufacturers as in both cases the spare has never hit the road & will become unroadworthy due to age.

If you wanted an alloy spare, find a 2nd hand one & build the floor up around the spare wheel well.

Every dollar counts it seems. At least you got a proper wheel as opposed to one of those 80k wheelbarrow efforts, or God forbid, a can of whoosh. In some Skoda markets, e.g. the UK, a steel spare wheel is an optional extra.

My Roomster (now sadly sold) came with five alloy wheels. Although anyone who paid retail was well and truly entitled to them.
