I also run my RS4 on Pilot Super Sport tyres, 20" and Ferrari spec (K1 or K2)

The only drawback is that its hard to get the types spinning ;)

Cheers buddy. Double check you got the 96Y speed rating though. It looks like you are getting 92Y at £143 each. 96Y are coming in at £628. Still seems the best price currently though.

Brad R (I think) ran them on his B7. He's selling a 600bhp B5 in the classifieds, if you want to get his proper username.

I had a set of Goodyear F1's on my daily driver; good grip all round and reasonable wear, and they looked good but they began to crack in the tread grooves around the circumference. Had a set of Dunlop which did the same a few years ago, but as Dunlop and Goodyear are now part of the same company, then I'm not surprised as they probably have similar manufacturing techniques / compounds.
Had Michelin PS3's in my B7 and also currently on my daily driver - excellent tyres all round. Got Michelin Latitude Sports on my wife's Honda - again, an excellent tyre. Going to replace the pretty average Pirelli P Zeros (they have started cracking incidentally in the tread grooves on the shoulder) on my B8 with some PSS sooner rather than later. Tried many makes of tyre, but Michelins win the contest for me every time.
