I'm in need of a new set of tyres for the B7, what are the views out there currently?

Whose got what?!

Had 4 GY asym 3's put on at the weekend... so far so good. Had the asym 2's before, but had worn them to the minimum so new rubber feeling great in comparison.

Are those the F1's?

I had to get some budget excelon performance uhp's put on mine as i couldnt afford performance ones at the time but having driven for 1000miles since fitting, they are every bit as good as the dunlops that were on it. If i had a choice of tyre tho i would get uniroyal rainsport 3's all day long. Had them on every car ive owned since they came out

What are you looking for from a tyre and what sort of driving/mileage does the car do?

Yes, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3's.

I put rainsport 3's all round on mine.
Done about 1500 miles on them now. Cant recommend them highly enough, they've been superb.

Well, I'm not too concerned about road noise. I do drive quickly but it's not a daily, I'm not too concerned about getting lots of miles to a set either. I was thinking about pilot sport 4's after good reviews from mates with BMWs but having read EVO's tyre review I'm quite tempted by the conti sport contact 6's...?

Pilot sport 3's Audi approved ones fitted

Pilot Sport 4 is out, worth checking on that one.

I've got Pilot Sport 4S's lined up for my S8 when the winter wheels come off in a few weeks time.
I've had the excellent Pilot Super Sports for summer up to now but sold them (on the wheels) recently and have a new set of diamond-cut 20" wheels waiting for summer (and the PS4S's).
