Yep, Costco usually do a 25% off deal in Jan\Feb when buying 4 tyres.
However there prices for Michelin tyres are often the cheapest anyway.

Dunlop SP Sport 9000 - an OE make (not necessarily on RS4) and chosen by one of the 3 tuners in the German article in the downloads section (MTM I think)
£122.50 each inc VAT I paid.
Everything else inc even Toyos was quite a bit more.

Great article in this month's Audi Driver on the new Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta.
They are rated very highly. No prices though!

OT I know, but how dull was the rest of the magazine? I don't know why I buy it sometimes.

Lots has been said on this in the past with the general consensus being the that the PS2's are the most expensive for a reason, they are also the best and seem to suit the RS4 pretty well. In my opinion they're the best I've used but read the past threads, there are lots of opinions.
Tyres....

Great deals on
www.mytyres.co.uk Delivery and VAT included. Add £15 per boot for fitting in almost stations. Better than costco, quick-fit.......

That is always the reason for buying AD, one, and at a push two articles. The rest, IMHO, is second rate and dull.
