Based on what I am reading, I am hoping the car is shod with PZero's. I'll take them over the Conti ( never tried ) or the Dunlop, which I didn't like.

However why fret about stuff you cant change, but still riles me that you cant spec/ request tyres on spec, hey ho!

Came with Dunlops, not great, will have to try and wear them down quickly I guess.

Car is amazing, super quiet, much smoother than the old when you want smooth and much more welly want you want it too.

Very Very much an improved vehicle.

Fab look forward to the post 1000 easy does it miles and then look forward to driving it properly!

Pzero NPSS 21-185's on my which was what I was hoping.... no complaints. Surprised how quite they are !

I have the audi complete deal at 88 pounds per month which includes tyres and discs/pads so not really bothered how long they last for.

I'd recommend this package if you are buying a new car.

It isn't how long they last for its how well they grip. As long as you're happy it doesn't matter though

I just don't like the feed back from the Dunlops, feel like you have to wrestle with them at time, the MPSS so much better. Anyway, enjoying the car, and with more enjoyment the advent of new tyres will come sooner!

So had chats with Mich, and the 285/35/R21 100Y is not Audi Homologated according to them. Bugger. Audi have yet to reply to the same question.
