Re: Tyres - Recommendations?
. . to complete my story.. I searched / haggled on three options :-
- Vred Sessantas
- Goodyear F1 Assymetric
- Michelin PS3
. . . I decided that the Goodyears were my preferred option, but were not readily available when I decided to buy. So, as of this week, now running a squeaky new set of Michelins... -not bedded-in yet, but will be monitoring carefully to see if I can see improvements over the Bridgestones....
Cheers for all input

Have you tried F1s?
Re: Tyres - Recommendations?
I think they're good but I've never used anything else as have never bought tyres before. They're just noisy.

Re: Tyres - Recommendations?
I was wondering is anyone running 275/30/19 at the moment?
And if so, any pics please?
My problem is my current 255/35/19 Michelin ps2 are rubbing the arches (with spacers on or off ) and I was hoping the 275s might not rub

Re: Tyres - Recommendations?
You should not be getting any rubbing on OEM suspension and tyre sizes. If you are, something is wrong and needs investigating.
I have original Super Sport + suspension and have run 265/35/19 for a week to test out and found them ok.

Re: Tyres - Recommendations?
Audi checked again last month and found nothing wrong, thing is they don't rub on even surface, only on the backroads where I live (quite bad/uneven surface it must be said) I had no probs at all with pzeros or conti (even with spacers)Surrey Sam wrote:You should not be getting any rubbing on OEM suspension and tyre sizes.

I am interested in getting Eagle F1 in size 275/30/19 for my next change, and would like to have some feedback and pics to see what it looks like
