It seems the general consensus is Michelin ps2 or super sports but a site Sponsor has offered me
An incredible deal on some vred ultrac vorti's !! I know the b7 guys thought the vred sessantas or (secret santas) as

I just moved to PSS2's form the PZero's and they are superb, they really are a world apart. The PZero's never gave me confidence when pushing hard, the PSS's are the total opposite. I am 400 miles in and should have done when I collected the car. I wished I'd spec'd them at order time.

I've had Vreds on my B7 RS4 - as well as PZeros (same opinion as you, lethal cr*p), F1 Assymetrics, PS2s and PSS.

The Vreds have a hard compound so long life but the sidewalls are soft so the initial turn-in is very vague IMHO.

The USP of the F1s was the largest rim protectors.

My preference? - PSS > PS2 > F1 > Vred > PZero.

When the PSS I have need replacing it will be with another set of PSS.
