Hi there, I am after some advice,
I am in need of some new tires for my Rs4,
I currently have Mich PS2 and was wondering if these are a still a good choice to go for?
Also where are the best places to buy tires online? as i can get them fitted my someone locally, They usually supply my tires too,

But a friend said to check online as they can be often had alot cheaper I have found http://www.tyreleader.co.uk/?gclid=CJu9 ... wgodkRcAVQ are they legit and to be trusted?

thanks:)

I believe the pilot super sports are the PS2 replacements.

best online place i found was http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-finder/car ... 255-35-r19

Have a look at https://www.facebook.com/funkytyres I got my micheliens PS2 in 265/30/20s for £222 each including shipping I paid for the wheels on the Saturday and they where with me on the Wednesday

I used tyreleader last week, excellent price and delivered within 2 days

GY A/S F1 2's are simply stunning.

i went for pilot sport 3's very happy with them

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 for me also and they are £152 from tyreleader.co.uk at the moment as well

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.

PS3s are the replacement for the PS2 - according to Michelin "For sport-oriented vehicles and high-powered saloons"

Whereas the PSS is "Specially engineered for super sport cars and ultra high performance tuning"

Hi thanks for the replies,
would this be a good price? and the correct tyre fitment/spec for my car?
And Obviously a decent tyre?

255/35 ZR19 96Y- what does the ZR AND 96Y mean?
Do I need RO1?

If so I am going to order, I am still a but skeptical how these are so cheap, when I get quoted around 1k for 4x tyres fitted at most places,

cheers

IIRC "R" is Radial construction (as opposed to cross ply which is never used nowadays).
96 is the load rating
Y is the speed rating (in this case up to 186mph).

The Z is a bit of a weird one as it moves about. It's related to the speed rating and means in effect "some speed over 149mph".
In the old days this is where the speed rating was put.

For an extra £9 I would get the goodyear. Better economy and less noise with great traction. Best all round tyre I've used.

You don't have to get AO or RO1 tyres - generally means this is what you will get from the dealer if you ask. Some marque have slightly different compounds but for a normal car like this it won't make much difference.

Had ps3's on mine before, not massively impressed so tried the good year eagle f1 assmetric 2's and they make it feel like its on rails, got them online on camskill £159 a corner delivered

These were all stamped march14 watch out with cheap prices online as some can be old stock

Been quoted 64 squids to fit all....
