Specifying tyres with a new car
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.

You cannot specify the tyres unless you pay extra for the originals to be taken off and replaced. Note that a spare wheel is an optional extra on a Fabia that needs to be ordered.

Decently built and good value, cheap to run. Greenline models are very economical with low CO2 emissions.
