I have converted those images to 1 PDF and have hosted it from the misc section in the tech archive link below. 14 Meg so too big to try attaching on here. No mention of my Pilot Super Sport tyres, which are the Michelin top dog tyre to my knowledge?
Current:

23' C8 RS6 Vorsprung - 23' RS E-Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung

Gone:

"Brutus"- C5 RS6 Avant - MRC stage 2 - Milltek non-res + 100 cell cats - Wagner ICs - PSS9 - H&R ARBs - OZ Superturismo LM - C6 Custom brakes - HD RNS-E - Various other bits - 555PS/832Nm
"Taz"- C7 RS6 - MRC stage 2 745PS/1095Nm
12' Cayenne Turbo, B7 RS4, S3, Cupra R, XJR, EVO VII, STI8,5,2&WRX, 106 GTI&XSI, other crap.

I would just hope the SC3's are now up to longevity tests as they still are the single most scary tyre on any car I've had post 5k miles of usage all the way until I replaced them. Interesting they went Ultrac Cento on the Vred's rather than the Sessantas and lie said no Michelin Super Sports unless they don't make them in S3 tyre size?
