Ah huh, I'd be interested in your notes thus far.
Hard to say early on but feel fine thus far. Usually takes me a few hundred miles to get used to them but certainly performing well in the rain

Well, no points for me putting the Assym2 at the same level as the second coming of Christ for all-year tyres. Got the RS4 at the weekend with the Ultrac Sessantas. They were off the car almost immediately and eagles all round with alignment. Near-puuuuurfect in the current weather we are experiencing, just like on the other cars.

Michy PSS don't really come close to these in the wet/cold in my experience on the 6 at least, but dry/warmer/hot weather is a different story.

The only thing I haven't experienced on them yet is snow.
Current:

23' C8 RS6 Vorsprung - 23' RS E-Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung

Gone:

"Brutus"- C5 RS6 Avant - MRC stage 2 - Milltek non-res + 100 cell cats - Wagner ICs - PSS9 - H&R ARBs - OZ Superturismo LM - C6 Custom brakes - HD RNS-E - Various other bits - 555PS/832Nm
"Taz"- C7 RS6 - MRC stage 2 745PS/1095Nm
12' Cayenne Turbo, B7 RS4, S3, Cupra R, XJR, EVO VII, STI8,5,2&WRX, 106 GTI&XSI, other crap.

These tyres are keepers.
Noticably quieter than the pirellis and fel great. Completely unfixed by the current weather.

yep i concur the supersports are sublime in the summer, but they sure dont like the cold.
i dont think they are bad in the wet if its warm, they just dont like the cold and wet combo.
