For the last 5 years of b7 ownership I've always put Goodyear asymmetrics on my car, and god I miss them, the Pirellis just don't compare!!

Pzero? Had them in my RS6 when I purchased it, shockingly bad tyres.

I really don't think I can stick with them until they need replacing, I'm going to see If I can get hold of some asymmetric 2's

Are you on 20s? The C7 RS6 lads can't get good years for theirs. Hmm, are they running 21s?
Ah Bugger it, if you can get assym 2s then that's all I'd have.

RS5 runs 275/30, not sure whether these would work on rs4. This size is available for Assym 2s.

My B7 RS4 came with factory fitted PZeros, which were utter 5H1TE - inconsistent in the dry, seriously lacking grip in the wet, lacking in feel. The only good thing about them was that they only lasted 9k miles!

Yeah, they survived about 12k miles, but were next to useless for the last 5k
Donnington track day finished them off... along with my brakes
