Car came with potenzas s007's, seem grippy enough, no traction light and look like slicks due to the tread pattern! Nice curb protection too.

I got a screw in one of my 8000 mile Pirelli P Zeros late last year, and combined with the fact that the Pirelli were beginning to crack in the grooves around the shoulder, I decided to get rid of them. As I had a 5 year Audi warranty on the car (it was spec'd by the supplying dealer when new), and having steering wheel alignment issues, I wanted to fit RO1 approved tyres to avoid any dispute with Audi during my steering and DRC suspension issues. Having had Michelins previously on my B7 which were far superior to the Conti's it was supplied with, I plumbed for a set of PS2's as they were the only Michelins with the RO1 fitment.
Totally transformed the car, and as a bonus, had the puncture in the P Zero repaired and sold them on the Bay for £250 which partially offset some of the cost of the new tyres.

Contributed to this thread before, but I liked the Bridgestones for grip but hated the tram lining, now on Conti's and they've been quieter, good wear, less grippy but less tramlining. In everyday driving they've been better than the Bridgestones.

Noticed that new RS4s are running Hancooks evo 3,
Are they any good as I was going to try them?

So far very pleased with them, feeling like they have made a lot of difference, I’ve also added the Canyon brace too, so double change...

Well, went for the Hankooks evo3 and although no side wall protection they look alright and seem alot quieter than the PZeros.
Only time will tell if they are any good.

Just gone to conti from Bridgestone s007’s. Bridgestones lasted an amazing 22k, and they only start at 7mm! Inside edges wore out first. First impression of conti’s are less noise but also less grip but.
