Re: Tyres help

They might but at 75mph on the M1, they all do a job, and that is about all it gets used for these days...
And they are brand new on rear, less than half worn on front so they will outlive my ownership I would imagine....

Re: Tyres help

Mine is on PZeros in that size - cant say I test them to the limit, but they are wearing OK (well apart from the two on the back that Audi paid to replace after the alignment was out after a recall on back axle...)

And they have a great rim protector!

Re: Replacing tyres

So just to close this one off, Audi fitted the two rear tyres, rechecked the alignment, and checked the wear on fronts. Rears with new tread 7mm, fronts between 5.1 and 4.9 so I'm happy only two needed. I'll try to just drive and forget about it now, starting with 900 miles in a week via the Cotswol...

Re: 2021 RS4 STEERING OFF CENTER . HELP!

I've just had my alignment done on a 2020 RS4, so there must be some spec somewhere..... see the replacement tyres thread for my issues! I have read that recall . The car specs list saying manufacture date before 2021, so that might not be a recall issue for me since my manufacture date is 2021/04....

Replacing tyres

Hi all, looking for the collective wisdom for some advice..... my RS4 was subject of a recall when it was serviced last Oct (late) - didnt really ask much about it, these things happen. Anyway, a couple of weekends back the tyre pressure monitor came on but all tyres were reasonable pressure. made s...

Re: DRC or sports suspension?

I'm also a grumpy old man and would never track my car..... and I suppose my answer is it depends what you are coming from / used to / looking for. <snip> Not sure where in the world you are but surely someone has a second hand one that you can test drive to see. I'd also be nervous at ordering now...

Re: DRC or sports suspension?

I'm also a grumpy old man and would never track my car..... and I suppose my answer is it depends what you are coming from / used to / looking for. My previous car was an M5 (non comp) which has pretty firm suspension. The non DRC equipped car is at least as good as that if not better. Mine is a Car...

Re: Shall I sell??

Yes hence why I just did a quick tester. WBAC is the last place I’d sell my car-I’d rather run the obnoxious auto trader gauntlet (especially when it comes to selling RS cars) than them. Incidentally mine does come with full warranty-as it was only released from Audi’s care last May it came with a ...

Re: Shall I sell??

Also had a tempting offer from WBAC - £65.5k for a Carbon black edition with 8000 miles on the clock / 15 months old. Also sorely tempted as when I do drive it I never go fast as I generally have the dog with me - or my 86 year old mother! And I'm mainly on long boring motorway or dual carriageway r...

Re: Pretty dead in here… so here’s a pic of my baby

Funnily enough my white car is my first white car since my first car and the looks sort of drew me in.... Same spec/model as mine in white. Carbon black B9.5. how do your brakes sound? any squeals? They seem OK, it stands a lot then does some long journeys on motorways and so far they have been OK....

Re: Im Back

I always said I would get an M3 when there was a touring version.... but I didn’t really gel with the M5, I don’t like BMW styling these days, funnily enough the back not the front, and to be honest it’s looking like £80k plus with a few options. Given the crap bmw residuals there would need to be a...
