Sawtoothed tyres now replaced.

 

What a difference!

 

I'd swapped them to to front where they were less noisy but vibrated and juddered at certain speeds and droned at the rest.

 

VRS still a feckin noisy car but nothing like what it was.

 

Just need to swap them all around again. Tyres on back are currently the same as the pair it chewed. Alignment didn't show much I just think the pattern didn't agree with the car.

 

did you get a proper four wheel alignment done?

Yup, proper job on a Hunter rig. one rear in the red the rest were green although they did tweak them all.

Hope it stays peaceful for you.  My last Octavia (Bridgestones, 17" wheels on Sports Suspension) was noisy so at 10k I swapped tyres front to rear same side and then had full 4 wheel alignment done at around 12k miles.  All wheels were in tolerance but at opposite extremes so they were adjusted to mid-spec.   By 20k miles it was making horrendous noises from the rear especially around 25-35mph.  I could feel the saw-toothing on outer and inner edge when I ran my hand around the tyre.  I hung on to use more life from the rears but around 22k the noise and vibration got too much and I replaced all 4 tyres with Michelin Primacy 3's

 

LIke driving on carpet!  So quiet!  But by the time I traded it in 7k miles later the rear tyres were starting to sing again...
