Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

How are peoples tyre wear going with either the 19" Pirelli's or 18" Dunlops (?)?
I'm a relative newb to the Octavia section of the forums but a respected friend in suspension repair business warned me about Octavias chopping rear tyres prematurely because the alignment would be out from the factory. Has anyone else heard of this issue in relation to either Mk2 or 3 Octavias?
I wasn't able confirm with him whether it was only in relation to solid or independent rear ends, heavily laden or unladen cars.

My MK2 Octavia has 86k on the clock with no rear tyre wear issues
I changed the rear tyres to my preferred tyre choice at 14k - so I've now done 72k on 18" Michelin PS3's
My rear PS3's are about 50% worn through and have a lovey even wear pattern
