Hi Folks, bought my black Fabia VRS in August and I cannot believe how much fun it has brought back into motoring. I am not a boy racer more of a silver racer but this thing is real fun. One query, can anyone advise on tyre noise? mine is on Bridgestones and I have been told that you can obtain quieter tyres but sacrifice grip or wear, any ideas out there?

Bets wishes for the new year and glad to be a member of this gang.

Welcome John :wavey:

I've always sacrificed noise for grip, so won't be able to help But I'm sure someone will be able to attend to you shortly...

hi and welcome ,anything other than Bridgestones will be quieter , LOL , Contis are IMO cr4p , Michelins are good for longevity ,my rears are on about 38k , but some say they are noisy also , Toyos are very good for grip , have a look in the Fabia forum at the tyre thread

Hello,

Tagged onto back of one of your posts before. Also a 'silver' racer at 54.

I too have been looking at tyres as my vRS fronts will soon need replacing.

Found this site which has a user survey database as to tyre qualities

Pneus-Online: car tyres online, motorcycle tyres, SUV tyres, new tyres for a flat price

More specifically :-

Tyre summer : tyre selling summer any brand

As a result I think I'm going for the Hankook Vertus (seem to have everything going for them + rim protection + they are not directional - but snow grip is v.poor, not hat we get much these days) available from mytyres.co.uk

Tyres for PASSENGER CARs very cheap, bargains, have a look and save
