Road Noise

[clubsport]

I have GY assy 6 in 235/35/19 on mine. They are fine, an improvement over the Pirelli P Zero previously fitted. PS4S on the Pork & they work well, I don't think I would feel the benefit over the GY ASS6 the way I drive the Golf.

Thanks.

Will go with the GY.

So, just been in and they have said the rear tyres are stepped on the inside edge so are going to order a new pair.

What i did find was that when i got home, i felt the brake discs  all around and the rears were warm, but the fronts were absolutely red hot, and my journey didn't really included a lot of braking but i guess thats the nature of the beast!

Most of the braking is done on the front and they are big old brakes. Always hot when you stop even if you've been pootling...

Glad I was right about the tyres!

Stepping is common apparently from mk5 - mk7, particularly if you do lots on motorway driving, VW are aware of the issue apparently

Forgot to update!

Rear tyres replaced with the Assy6 and the car is a million times better.

I should do the fronts really but they are almost brand new so will get some wear out of them first but also keep an eye on any offers in the future.

Has anyone swapped tyres, had alignment done to have the noise return?

Had this recur on my mk6. Took longer to be a problem after full wheel alignment and new tyres.
