Hi Marcus, I had 38psi rear and 40 psi front cold. The mileage included 2 track days (15 mins session every hour, 6 sessions per day) On track days, I run them with 42 psi warm. Wheel alignment problem? I don't think so either as I had it done straight after when they were fitted and never hit anything plus the wear are similar on both front tyres, perhaps a touch more on the right side. imo, F1 AS have soft shoulder and can't cope when push hard (compared to my previous P-Zero Rosso which had no wear like that after 17000kms and 6 track days).

Goodyears have never been good track day tyres in my experience but are excellent on the road. I'm not surprised by your wear Oz after that amount of track time, I blistered my F1's on my S4 after 4 20 minute sessions.

I found these tyres excellent. I had new F1's on the RS4 and P-Zero's on the RS6. The RS4 was awesome and the 6 was terrible. I had them swapped over as I was using the '6 more and the '6 became a beast and the '4 turned poo in the corners. to that end we ended up going for the F1's on the wifes quattro too.

I would agree with the road noise, it is a little worse but the F1's dump piles of spray into the air where the zero's did not. Also the mileage is significantly more (no tracking) and the cost is significantly less.

They are getting better with miles it would seem, but they do make more road noise than my PZero's.
