New tyres anyone

[Brooner]

which one S001 or the New S007

[Rev]

Picked mine up 01 May with Bridgestone S007. 800 miles in and they seem fine....

You don't get something for nothing, got to be some catch.

Many people have used them with no problems. Kev (sync24) just recently had his tyres delivered and they were very recently manufacutred tyres not old stock. In fact I'm pretty sure they state the date of an old tyres they are selling. And this seems to be the same story on lots of different forums.
Getting good reviews on Trustpilot.co.uk.

Looks like it's a new company with low prices to get a good repuation as the 'go to guys' for tyres. Pretty sure they'll ramp the prices up in a while once they have established a loyal customer base. Make they most of it and get them cheap while they last.
I've researched a bit on the t'internet and one guys said they are a chinese company but another said they were based in Germany, which concurs with their buisness address.

I just got mine on Tuesday and it came on bridgestones but 500miles later and one has split.

Anyone any idea where I can get another from as I am struggling to find one on the internet.

Not to sure what happened at all I just all of a sudden got the tyre warning light on I stopped and the air was coming out pretty fast so that was the end of the tyre not happy at all

I've got the bridgestones on my RS5, and I really rate them

Can you describe why? I'll look out for the effect! I've not really pushed the car to anything like it's limits but wherever I've played a little it seems to grip forever

it's quite difficult to quantify in words without being able to throw my arms around and gesticulate actions with noise
However, I'd suggest they slide more progressively that the Pzeros and you can get a lot more feel for where that level of grip is going without the sudden grip realise
This is by no means a definitive analysis as it's on an RS5, not a 4 and I had some time out of my 4 on Pzeros and then later PS2's, so not ideal comparison

[smudge]

Anyone got any experience of these four? I've omitted the P Zero's for obvious reasons & I'm currently running PS2's. I had some Dunners on my MkIV R32 way back when I was a yoof, and they weren't all that. But then it was in the wet that I recall them being rather <beep> & seeing as that was almost 12 years ago now, I would expect the tyres to be different now. I know some B7 owners raved about the Vredestein tyres, but they're not an RO1 'Quattro approved' tyre, what ever that is!!! I'm tempted to just get some & put them away in the warehouse until needed.....

[carsarecool]

Smudge, I had Sessantas on my TTRS and they were pretty sh1te....especially in the wet. Could spin them up easily. I did 2000 miles in them and they didn't get any better.

Haven't tried or heard anything about the Vortis.

[Ian_C]

Wouldn't touch Dunlops personally, my S4 came on them and they were crap, ended up removing them early to fit a complete set of Goodyears, best axle had about 4-5mm left!

Continental 5s have received good reviews. Continental 3 however are a very old tyre design, again were factory fit B6 S4s (my brand new spare is a Conti 3) and best avoided

[Graeme4130]

I had toyo proxies on my old mountain biking van (think 1000kg and 317bhp)
They were super grippy, such a soft compound they were almost like a track tyre but with full tread, but didn't last very long at all - about 3k miles for the fronts and 5k for the back

[Ian_C]

Ahhhhhhhhh, has the Astramax gone now?

[Graeme4130]

Yeah. Wife pressure
