I'm about to purchase my first ever car and have settled on a new discounted Skoda Fabia Estate from a Skoda dealer.

One area I can't find any advice on is the topic of specifying the tyres on a new car.

First, are they usually supplied with the car at no extra cost?

Second, does the buyer have any leverage on the brand supplied?

I ask, as my father worked for Michelin his entire life. Not only do I favour their tyres but I'd like to, in my own small way, support his pension.
