On my S3 the dials are illuminated all time. On the S4 they only come on with the headlights, is this normal? Also, the S3 has a dial to adjust the brightness but I can't find any such thing on the S4, does it have one? If they are not on, it can be changed with VAG-COM for either scales, needles o...

Have had the same problem on my S4, but only when front tyres are down to about 1.8mm then once tyres replaced (with same tyres) the noise dissapears until the tyres wear down again. This has happened on 2 sets of front tyres now.

Just my thoughts and probably not everyones problem.

I have them on my B6 and as already stated very grippy wet or dry . dont know how they compare against the PS2 but would guess you would get more milage from the PS2's , but less overall grip
