Cool perhaps theale next Saturday?

I can't feel any saw toothing but the tyres are new and it's tricky to tell. I think I have the results, will upload tomorrow. Thanks

Does everyone run at the recommended 2.1 front and 2.2 rear?

Mine at quiet up to almost exactly 70mph when they get noisy, take it up to 90 and it gets a 'bit' quieter, just really annoying the noise is at 70 which I am'supposed' to be doing.

225 40 r18 Dunlop sport maxx on the rear (supposed to be quiet) and super cheaps on the front which ironically are fine.

Additionally, is there a vRS owner in my area against whom I could compare or help me diagnose this? There would be a beer in it

Hi all I have an ongoing battle with road noise on my Octavia estate vRS 60 plate. I have now paid for a hunter alignment, I couldn't change the tyres at the time as they were almost new but the noise continued (which I accept), after a long journey this weekend (800 miles) the noise is worse grrr! Has anyone had any luck with soundproofing to loose this noise? I don't want to fork another 200 replacing almost new tyres only to discover the alignment hasn't sorted it. Please help a despondent vRS owner!! J

I think I will be booking in

225 40 R18 Dunlop sport maxx on the rear, I didn't want to go down the route of expensive boots as this problem has always returned on both Octavia estates I have had. The car has done 41k miles but the rears have done around 2k Max. When I got the car last December the rears were badly worn on the inside. I had a local garage do a full 4 wheel alignment but the noise came back although I don't believe they were using a hunter system. Car is the CD vRS diesel estate. Noise comes in almost dead on 70mph and gets worse the longer I drive for, that may be temp related or just me!! Nickguzzi. I will come over to you to get this sorted once and for all but any idea of cost? Thanks

I have read many many posts about tire roar from the rears,I got new tires with a low dB level and had four wheel alignment, they were fine for a few hundred miles and started to roar again. I am thinking of selling the car, has anyone actually managed to solve the problem and if so how?? Diving me crazy!! Thanks

I am booked in with angel remaps for my vRS CR 170. Now I am not a mechanical person but I do like to drive hard (not off the line), I am concerned something big is going to blow following the remap, it would only take it to 210bhp which I assume is OK as it's less than the other tuners, my car is in good nick and is at 34k miles but I am still left wondering about the odds?? Can anyone allay my fears?? Many thanks J

Thanks mate I have fired off an email to them. I am not exactly awash with cash at the moment so wanted to try and keep in the sub. £300 region but most of the big name remaps seem to be£400 plus. Cheers everyone for the advice Sent from my RM-875_eu_euro1_211 using Tapatalk

Thinking about a remap and was recommended this chap who is local to us and very cheap. What do you guys think about the claims made on the site? Should I be alarmed?? http://www.the-remap-man.co.uk/ Thanks Sent from my RM-875_eu_euro1_211 using Tapatalk

That's a good plan, thanks Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
