Hi Bidey
thanks for the message, after researching tyre reviews I fitted two Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance tyres to the rear of my car today and I have found an improvement. I have less road noise from the rear and no booming so far. I think fitting the sound proofing is a great idea and hope it works for you. I think the Rapid is prone to the road noise and tyre pressures, type of tyre and sound proffing will all help reduce the problem. So far my car has improved a lot and I plan to swap the front tyres as funds allow. I appreciate others have tried different tyres, but what can I say the Goodyears have worked for me. I know the Dunlops are bad news and only make things worse, as my experince from other cars has shown. Clearly Skoda should do something about this and offer a sound proofing kit and think about what tyres they fit to their cars.
