Anyone tried these on their B8 yet?

I'll need some new boots in the next month I think and iirc some of the former B7 owners liked these. Any comments or thoughts?

Anyone know what the 'Approval' tick is all about at the bottom of this comparison sheet?

I think the approval is whether it is Car Manufacturer Approved.

Make the most sense. I just had PS2's put on 2 weeks ago, £840 for the set

I'm out there somewhere - allegedly.

I've hammered 2 sets of MPS2's now. Just wanted to try something different. Getting down to the last few mm on the rear with a wet road is fun though. Quattro still lets you play if you want to doesn't it. :biggrin2:

Had the Vreds on the B7 and thought bang for buck they were great, better than the PZeros.
But looking at those prices you've posted between the Michs, i'd pay the extra and get them.

Thought you'd sold up?

I thought the same smudge.....where you been? Thought you'd sold the B8.

I am 1000 miles into some PS2s. Are they better than PZeros?......I am yet to be convinced but with autumn coming that may change.

I had Sessantas on my TTRS and they were OK but would rate the PZeros over them.

PS - Elite in Reading did a set of PS2s and a 4 wheel complete refurb for £1100. Wheels were sent away for 5 days but the job they did was great.

So after all that, I suffered a puncture on the motorway over the weekend and was in the hands of the gods. I now wanted / needed 4 tyres quicker than anticipated (I couldn't be arsed putting glue into the punctured tyre, especially with lorries hurtling past my arse). So Audi recovered me to my destination and I was left to find a set of four of my choice. Vreds weren't stock anywhere & would have left me waiting until tomorrow at the earliest. MPS it was then......

If I could have got the Vreds, I would have given them a shot. But on this occasion I couldn't.

Over to someone else I'm afraid.
