  1. Tyre wear

    Just wondering how long tyres are lasting on people's formentors. I have the 245 VZ2 which I got on the 1st march and got a puncture the other day. Went to kwikfit and the guy said the puncture wasn't repairable and the tread of the front two tyres was 3mm so said they should be replaced...

    Tyre pressure sensor system actually works pretty well

    The Formentor doesn't come with a TPMS for actual readouts of pressure, but instead i guess it uses the ABS or suspension to gauge if the tyre pressure is off. The other day after going through roadwork I found a screw in the tyre, wen't to a tyre shop immediately and brought my little portable...
  3. New alloys + Tyre pressure monitoring

    Hi I’m looking at getting new alloys for my Seat Leon Mk2 FR CR170 and was wondering how to keep the tyre pressure monitoring? Will it just work with new alloys or do you have to transfer the sensor over or something? Has anyone changed there alloys on this model and know what the crack is?
  4. Whine when driving, dependant on speed

    I have a problem in my 2019 Leon. It's a really loud whing/whirring noise. It's dependent on speed and above 90km/h it's extremely loud, I've included a sound sample below but it's very quiet compared to real life. The noise is a lot louder in the back than front.

    Cupra ST tyre suggestions low cabin noise

    I got Continental ContiSportContact 5P on my 19" wheels. The tyres came from the factory. This is the 2nd season I'm using the summer tyres and the in-cabin noise is a lot higher than I remember it was last year. Possibly this is from wear as I've read the ContiSportContacts wear faster than...

  9. Tyre Questions

    Sorry if these are daft questions, but someone's mentioned to me that my tyres are at their legal limit (I'm assuming the front ones, because the rear ones don't look too bad) and should therefore be replaced.

    Just a quickie, Seen many recommendations for Vredestein and Goodyear F1's on here but both out of stock on camskill at the moment. Anyone tried the Toyo PX4's (Proxes 4). I think these are meant to be a performance tyre. I'll probably want to steer clear of the super sticky track tyres...
