Will do as soon as I’ve thrown some rubber on them. What it the boot of choice for the C5 RS6?

Oh and I detailed a TTRS that had put a dark satin grey all over their rotors yesterday. They looked very nice.

As Capt Ric says, PS4's seem to be the go to choice for tyres on most cars. If you can't quite stretch to them (premium tyres, premium price) then I can recommend Good Year F1 assy 5, never had any issues with wet or dry grip over the years I've used them and a few quid cheaper than the Mich's.
On the TT's rotors.... I'm not a fan. They need the diamond cut IMO.

Thanks guys. I’ve got the F1s on my 300 which I’m happy with but I’m happy to get the PS4S as recommended. Thought I’d double with you guys as my first port of call was national tyres and they priced up for P Zeros, good price but would rather go with recommendation. 👍

Chris. The pilot sport 4S all day long.
Just had 4 replaced on mine. Michelin gave me £100 cash back.
Great tyres. I think this is my third set.

That was a close call as I nearly took the P Zeros there and then.

I think I’m going to see if I can rub the lacquer off around the diamond cut edge and get the lacquer reapplied at a body Shop. Seems silly to get all four wheels restored when there’s only a few chips in the lacquer around the edge.

Anyone know of a better price than this for the PS4s?
Apparently there’s another £60 off when placing the order, so four tyres are £535.

Black circles. £133.45 with code BF15. Plus 0.8% cashback with Quidco. That'll be about another quid.

KwikShit doing 20% off for 4 tyres. That's 141.50 fitted each. Plus 3.25% cashback with TopCashBack. That's another 3 quid or so.

Not sure I could bear to let them touch my car.
