Very nice! Hankooks?
Ordered one
Re: Ordered one
Ian they’ve been fitting Hankooks for a couple years now. My sons A3 TDi came with them last year. I tested a S4 B9 last year and Hankooks. SQ7 I looked at was on 22inch Hankooks. They’re not a bad tyre grip wise but wear quick. My sons has only done 9000 miles on his and they’re nearly dead on the front.

Re: Ordered one
Congrats. I seem to think the lighter colours (and primer) suit the B9’s the best.

Although not seen as a premium brand they are probably no worse than the other crap tyres they supply.Eddie555 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:36 pmIan they’ve been fitting Hankooks for a couple years now.

Re: Ordered one
Yeah I know, I just wondered if they were Hankooks, Contis, Dunlops etc!Eddie555 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:36 pmIan they’ve been fitting Hankooks for a couple years now.

Re: Ordered one
I think it’s just pot luck what tyres you get nowadays. I’m sure no matter what we get they’ll be changed to fat boy ones ( Michelins)!when they wear out.

Re: Ordered one
Yes they are Hankooks Iuck of the draw I think. On the upside though they have the best rim protection I have seen. On the subject of keyless entry, yes you can turn it off in the MMI and I have done, the other thing to note is you get two keys as usual and apparently only one of them is the keyless entry key, they are different in appearance.
Went for a little blast tonight and I have to say the improvement on my previous RS4 is considerable in many ways a real step up/forward. The engine noise isn't the same and is no louder and not as deep than the B8 but the B8 noise isn't brilliant anyway even with the sport exhaust.
The quality of the interior is fantastic and the technology is going to take a while to properly understand.
One surprise is even though it is on AVS it will need an oil change at 10K miles regardless.
Very Happy.

I think it looks amazing, and a great colour choice for the B9

Re: Ordered one
That is interesting (to me at least).

I think that means there are 2 ways to disable the keyless entry. One way is via MMI and the other is to remove battery from the 'keyless entry key' and use the other key as your main key.
