Tyres for RS6

[RS6Mike]

21s look better but that's it. They cost more and have far fewer options for tyres. The Sport Contact 6 is supposed to be a very good tyre. Also worth considering is the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S which is available for the 20s and not the 21s and meant to be slightly better than the Continental although I think I read someone rate the conti better than the PS4S. And it's cheaper and better than the MPSS.

Cracking piece of advice, thanks. And thanks to everyone else that posted on here. I've gone ahead now and ordered so will have these on Friday.

Thanks for comments. Am I one of the few saddos still to have 20" rather than 21"

How much better are the 21"s from a cost benefit point of view?

Nothing sad about us Mike

I obviously run 21 on my RS6 Performance the best deal I could get was £1000 fited less £80 for my old continetals with 4 to 5mm on them, I went for the Dunlops which like the contientals are RO1

The Michelin naming convention took a turn recently.

Pilot Super Sports (MPSS) used to be better than the Pilot Sport 3 (PS3)
The recent release Pilot Sport 4 are actually more like an improved MPSS.

I have yet to try any of the new Continental 6 on anything but can confirm the PS4 are excellent.

PS4 or PS4S - VERY different beasts! I have PS4S on my S8.....
(Mine are 20's, not sure if they have 21's yet) See for example: http://www.automobilemag.com/news/miche ... per-sport/
