Which tyres should I fit to my Skoda Octavia to reduce road noise?
I recently took delivery of a Skoda Octavia L&K 1.8 TSI DSG Estate and the engine/gearbox combination is superb (much better than my previous 3.2 DSG Passat). From previous Octavia Estate experience I did not expect that good a road noise performance but nevertheless am disappointed. What tyres would you recommend for minimum road noise over the current Dunlops?
