Skoda Octavia Kombi
Skoda Octavia 1959–1971
- The classic Skoda Octavia could be fitted with 155 R15 or 165 R15 tyres.
- For 155 R15 tyres we suggest fitting the 155 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 or the 155 TR 15 Michelin X.
- For 165 R15 tyres we suggest fitting either the 165 SR 15 Michelin XZX, or the 165 HR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67.
- Period fitment data is very limited for the Octavia, evidence from other Skoda models suggests that the Octavia fitted tube-type wheels throughout its production run. If you have an Octavia with tubeless wheels as OE please get in contact so that we can update our information.
- For all these tyres we suggest the Michelin 15E innertube.
History of the Skoda Octavia
Built between 1959-1971, the Skoda Octavia was the replacement for the saloon and estate versions of the Skoda 440/445/450. The saloon version was produced until 1964, where it was replaced by the Skoda 1000 MB whilst the state version introduced in 1961 would remain in production until 1971.
The saloons weighed 1,270 kg and were equipped with 1089 cc engines generating 38.5 hp, then 50 hp, and 1221 cc engines delivering 44–53 hp. The somewhat heavier estate waggons, weighing 1,365 kg, were all delivered with 1.2-litre engines. The maximum speed ranged from 68 to 71 mph. The engine and transmission from a Skoda Octavia were utilised in the Trekka light utility vehicle, which was built in New Zealand from 1966 to 1973.
