Re: Winter Tyres
I used Vred Wintrac Extremes last winter and they were great in the cold weather and what limited snow/ice there was in the UK. I travel to Switzerland fairly regularly and drove last winter for a bit of skiing as well and the tyres were ace! I switch them straight onto my standard 19" rims. The dow...

Also look out for gearbox slipping under acceleration. Apparently, a few problems with the ZF boxes not being able to handle the power. They are sealed units so the whole thing needs replacing. About £6k fitted by Audi. I had mine replaced under warranty. If you're interested mine is about to be for...
