Tires online?
Re: Tires online?
I went for Pilot Super Sports as if they are good enough for the 458 then they must be good enough for the RS4 right ?!
about 1k for all 4 corners fitted so not cheapest option I guess but pleased with them so far
had Dunlop SP Maxx's before...
just noticed this was about tyres online - doh...

Re: Tires online?
+1 on the Pilot super sports. Have put them on my '6 and they're bloody grippy. Tried to provoke it into some tail out action on a nice bit of road and failed miserably! Pretty impressive.
For people that are confused, PS3 isn't a replacement for PS2. PS3 are a hard wearing compounds, PS2 is a bit softer & stickier, PSS are stickiest.

PSS do generate noticeably more road noise than PS2s did.SuprSi wrote:PS3 are a hard wearing compounds, PS2 is a bit softer & sticker, PSS are stickiest.

Re: Tires online?

yes stock wheels. good if they are cheaper now though as i'm sure I will need some more at some point soonish....

Re: Tires online?
So I got myself a set of new RS4 20x9" rims and am about to order tires now. I used to have Pilot Sport 2 tires so my first choice is Pilot Super Sports.
Now when I was reading this I started to have some doubts because i was surprised to read that PSS is more noisy than PS2. How about Good Year f1 asymmetric 2..
are they more or less noisy than Michelin tires? I believe grip of all these are sufficient.

Re: Tires online?
My experience is that the F1s are the quietest with PS2 next and the PSS the noisiest of the three you mention.rob-s wrote:So I got myself a set of new RS4 20x9" rims and am about to order tires now. I used to have Pilot Sport 2 tires so my first choice is Pilot Super Sports.

Re: Tires online?
Is there any clear difference in grip levels in either dry or wet between the F1s and PSS?

Re: Tires online?
Ben, I've got Continentals on mine, I've recently been told they are mint tyres but quite soft hence not as hard wearing and don't last as long, do you agree with this?Youngben wrote:Also on PS3's they are the best all around tire i have had on a car!! Grip is something else. They are on eBay at a quick glance for £200 a corner. Cant go wrong with that really.
Edited to say they are £175 through Camskill even better.
My car is fast approaching needing fronts replaced but not sure if I mix front and rears it will look crappy!!
Rear have loads left on them!
