just wondering what the favourite tyre is among the forum members for the rs4??

Michelin Super sport
Michelin Pilot Sport 2
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

Have a back look through these pages, it's been discussed over and over.
For me it's Egale F1.

ive only had mine on gy eagle f1,s and they feel great. they do come well recommended on here.

Michelin ps2 or pilot sports if your going to track it.

I have one RS4 on GY F1 and the other on Michelin PS3, I personally prefer the Michelin tyres. However, I only run these tyres for 6 months of the year as I then swap over to winter tyres which far out perform summer tyres in the cold/wet winter weather we have.

why do you prefer the michelins sam?

I go for Nankangs

To be honest Jay, outright grip is pretty much equal between them both.

However, the GY F1's I've found to be a little embarrassing when nipping up the inside on a roundabout, as it makes you look like a 'boy racer' when they start to squeal. The Michelins are barely audible when grip is near to being lost. I also prefer the stiffer sidewall of the Michelin Pilot Sports as they squirm less under hard braking and I also find that the tread pattern and the stiffer sidewall gives greater confidence in high speed cornering.

I do stress that this is all in summer time weather. Historically I've been very disappointed when the sub-zero temps arrive and the summer performance tyres go rock hard offering little grip.

As they say in Formula 1 - you need to be on the right tyre, for the right weather conditions.
