Best tyres for RS4?

Guys, had my MOT today and the car sailed through. However, my tyres are down to 4mm so I'm thinking of getting a new set before Winter takes hold. Around a year ago I would have gone for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics. However I know that Michelin have a new tyre on the block and F1 Asymmeytric 2 tyres are also out.

I want to stick with stock sizes so what's the general consensus on the best tyres for the RS4 at the moment?

I think this has been discussed on here before ;-)

Costco - Pilot Sport 3 (255 x 35 x 19) - £287.98 each but they're running their 20% off deal.

£921.54 for the best tyres money can buy.

The reviews in magazines for the Supersports are good but I can't remember if any members have tried them? Plus the Supersports are seriously expensive...

There's a few of us on here with them they are superb as Dave says expensive but well worth it. I got them when they were first released for £790 there no where near that now

Got the super sports on this year can't fault them yet great in the dry and wet quiter than my Verds only ran them for a couple of months so far and now winters on so i'll see if the extra cost is worth it and if i get more miles from the set

Costco in Reading would'nt even give me a quote when i went in there last week. Apparently they are not allowed to put PS3's or Supersports on RS4's. As you can imagine i laughed and walked out. :knob:

PSS are indeed fabulous. Have recently sold my RS4, but fitted a set about 6 months back.

First class - don't know how they do it, but better grip and it seemed wear. Really good turn in.

I fitted stock 255/35, and did not bother with the Audi RO1 fitment (not sure that they do it yet/at all in the PSS, but i believe only needed for the prior model RS6).

Just fitted another set of Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas on mine - £650 from Camskill.
Last set lasted getting on for 20K, and they're especially good in the snow!
