Heads Up - Tyres

[neilparf]

That means my b5 rs4 pzeros now 12+ years old will remain effective bumpers at the back of the garage!!

Yep. Or if you have green fingers...

Could start a discussion on - "what could i do with those old sportscar tyres?"

Audi have just released their official advice on what to do with used tyres:

For my 2p my car has Bridgestone Potenza S007's and I personally think they are a very good tyre.
Not used them in the wet as yet however.

Thanks Alan, they certainly look like a really decent tyre, i'd love to really warm up and lean on a set.

After extensive testing at the nurburgring, I think I speak for toyneg and myself that the Pilot super sports are f'king awesome!

Yeah - I SWARE by the Michelins, even the Cups..... that's why I think the bridgestones are quite exciting though, what makes the PS2/PSS is that really solid outer tread pattern, that's why you can really really lean on them.....

....BUT I used to push the 911 so hard that I just wanted PS CUP tyres, much much better in the dry - than the PSS and PS2.... and then I saw some of those bridgestones, they look like a halfway house between the PSCup and PSS/2, and I like that idea A LOT - as long as they've got the compound right....

....I hope mine doesn't arrive on PZero's, please not PZero's, I've had to shift them off pretty much all my cars - I HATE THEM

What did it arrive on??

FYI ALL - PS2s are £181 a corner from Camskill.

Absolutely GUTTED PZEROS

They're not that bad on the RS. Remember that Audi, like all manufacturers, specify their own compounds and have them tuned to the car by the OEM manufacturer, so a Pzero isn't always a Pzero if that makes sense

I hope that's true of the B8; my B7 arrived on PZeros and they were sh*te - poor dry grip & appalling wet grip, their only redeeming factor was their very short life (< 9k miles) so I didn't have to suffer them for long.

[boff]

My car is on the service plan.....

I found them horrendous on my b8
Even the contis on my wife's old s3 performed better
