WINTER TYRES

[JHT]

Fecking hell Jon, you still got your 08? Unlike you to keep a car this long!! :p

Hi Ian,

Yes......coming up for 18 months which is a v good going for me.... Says a lot about the RS4!

Looking at changing in Spring but not sure what to go for. Have toyed with the idea of an RS6 avant but the fuel costs will be even worse.....am tempted by another Alpina - the D5 makes a strong case for itself but then again I've come to love Quattro...ah decisions!

I will be replacing my tyres soon and as I'm too skint to have summer and winter tyres, I need an all rounder. The many many threads on here seem to suggest that Ultrac Sessantas offer the best combination of price and peformance, but, are they any good in wet winter weather?? I have no intention of driving in snow (we rarely get it in Cornwall anyway)!! Having just spent the last hour on the net searching they do seem to be like hen's teeth at the moment though.

I've run sessanta's for the past 12 months and have been v impressed with them in the white stuff and in foul weather generally. You've just got to remember that you still don't stop particularly well on summer tyres if you're on white stuff!

Glad you are clearly still loving it!

Cheers AlmoRS. I take it you've been suitably impressed with them?

Yes. RS is amazing in snow with quattro but with Vreds is unstoppable. Just ordered same tyre set for other half's S3 for this winter from mytyres again.
