Hi There, I have a 2010 Octavia vRS diesel hatchback. I need to put some new tyres on it & was just wondering what others had on theirs. Cheers

High performance with great life (45k~50k)
Michelin PS3 $300 each or Goodyear F1 A2 $250 each
Hankook Ventus RS3 is another good option
Continental CS5 or MC5 are options
Bridgestone RE040/050 are good but expensive
Pirelli are expensive, noisy and don't last very long
This thread discusses Octavia tyre options

I wouldn't put the Hankook Ventus RS-3 in the same category as all the other tyres mentioned so far: bit of a motorsport-orientated road tyre. Noise, comfort and wear aren't optimised for road usage (only keen drivers need apply).
EDIT: The Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 (K117) would be a better match for the Michelin PS3 or Goodyear F1A2, if one is interested.

Quite possibly, yes.
Though as their products approach the performance levels of the more established brands, so does their price.
As always, shop around.

They are H rated! And its one of those hideous all-season tyres.

Hoyhoy.
Forget the rest, get the best, Federals 595 RS-R.
You'll be surprised with the $'s & performance.
Hooroo.

OP:
What do you actually want from the tyre? sporty performance, low noise, long life, smooth ride?
