PZero Corsa, but only on dry and if you can afford to replace them very often. Else I think nero are supposed to wear out faster so probably better grip (but was told there s not so much difference in wearing). I for now have Rosso assymetrico which came standard with the 18" RS wheels on the S3.

Thanks boys!!

CL, I would like to use the Corsa. However, I heard they are pretty bad in the wet but most importanat of all, Pirelli doesn't offer them in 255/30/19.

Conti, thanks for your findings!! I guess the Nero is the best choice for me!

Well corsa are very specific and heard there awfull in the wet also (just like slisk yould be), it was more a joke. If you need all around tires they re probably not the bests.
Was told by my tire dealer that wearing was not too different between rosso and nero, so probably next time I ll give the nero a try, but as I ve snow tires for winter and there s no track over here, I don t change that often.
