I need 2 new front tyres on my RS4. The car currently has P Zero Rosso's all round and I am being quoted around £160 + VAT per corner fitted.
Does anyone know if this is a reasonable price?
Thanks,
Matt.

If it's time to change them, general concensus is to try something else like PS2's. Lots of info on here...

Bobjebb,
I have just been reading about the PS2's they sound like better tyres. Do you use them?
Matt.

PS2's are overall a better tyre, but the Rosso's give good grip but not the longevity of the PS2's.
All things being equal PS2's are the way to go even with the additional cost.
Hope you're having fun in your RS4......

Hi Doc, I'm really enjoying the RS4 thanks.
I agree that tyres are not to be skimped on so I think I will make the change to the PS2 's now. Seems a bit steep when you have to buy 4 of them!
Cheers,
Matt.

Agreed. Try Costco Tyre Sales. They only deal in Michelin and buy in huge quantity so priced competitively. ATS are owned by Michelin too so worth a shot.
Alternatively source Toyo tyres with correct speed rating. You wont be disappointed and will save some cash.
Have had a set myself and would buy again.
Currently on Mich PS2 to see wot all the fuss was about. Would never use Pirelli or BF Goodrich again.

Toyos rock on the RS4. Was running S'es for years, and now on R's. Looks like I'll be getting 15000 - 20000 miles on this set, and they are sticky too

Had the T1-S's on once....agree with Doc, they're tosh compared to PS2's. Can't comment on the T1-R's, but they should be much better as they have a better load rating and stiffer sidewalls.

So are you saying the Toyo T1R's are worth a look?

Just had two Goodyear eagle F1 gsd3 tyres fitted for £137 all in and they are very good compared with the pirrelli's they replaced,also a much better tyre than the Michelin pilot sports fitted on the rear as they keep spinning and were crap on the front with limited grip and steering feel it was like driving around waiting for an accident to happen.
Personally i don't rate michelin,had them on 3 different cars and never been impressed by the grip etc too hard and wet weather grip is a lottery compared with goodyears and toyo's.
Cheers "Bingo"
