Difference between PS2 and PS2-R01

[estrop77]

i thought michelins were fine on the back but a problem on the front. i had normal ps2's on the back with the big rim rim protectors and they were fine

This is the wear on the fronts, which meant they had to be replaced somewhat prematurely. You can see that the wear is even across the face of the tyre and then there's just a lot of rubbing on that one inside bit.

That is classic rubbing on the "Knobbly bit" - ie it is fouling on part of the suspension.

I would say that you have a good case to argue that the supplier has given you the wrong tyres for the RS6

andyt: came across this which explains the issue:

I'd given them the part number previously posted on here and wikipedia as "14875", but they advised this was an american product code. The uk tyre specifically manufactured for the RS6 is "255/35/ZR19RS6XL, code 054277". If that tyre is not ordered by your local tyre dealer then you have a high risk of the tyre rubbing on the front suspension, which I've previously experienced.
