Tyres

New here so go easy....

Picked the car up last night and very pleased so far. Pics to follow.

Shod with Bridgestone Potenza S007. The last time I had Bridgestone was on the old Blackpool tyre shredding monster. :biggrin3:

They appear to be a new fitment for Audi and I was wondering if anyone has experience of these and what their views are...

My rs4 came with pzeros and I changed them for PS2's at around 12k miles. Not that I had an issue with them, but I've a contact so could get the Michelins for way less than pirellis
However, my current rs5 has the bridgestones and they seem a good tyre
It's difficult to compare exactly how they'd be against the rs4, but I'd stick my neck out and say the road noise is a little more (could be car insulation diff) and they have a more progressive release point to the ps2.
I've knocked out around 5k miles on them and they seem to be wearing a lot slower than both Michelins and pirellis
Again, it might be car differences too, but fwiw, I never had an issue with the pzeros

Possibly not the most helpful response ever, but I'm in Cape Verde on holiday and my wife's taking way too long doing her hair, so I'm occupying myself on the internet
