Re: RS4 Tyres ??
Ditch the Pirelli's ASAP.
Had Bridgestone S007's and they're a great tyre, the best for outright summer performance beating my previous favourite Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I've now moved onto the latest Michelin Pilot Sport 4s's and whilst early days, I think these are performing far better in the wet/colder weather and only a very minor summer performance trade off.

I replace my Pirelli's (5.5mm front 2.5mm rear) with Michelin PS4S's on Friday, gotta say they are quite noisy and feel pretty much the same to me.
I thought the way everyone hated the Pirelli's and raved about the Michelin's I would notice a difference besides the noice !

Have you tried driving over 30mph in the wet with the pirellis? On a road that wasn't straight?114uyc wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2017 5:40 pmI replace my Pirelli's (5.5mm front 2.5mm rear) with Michelin PS4S's on Friday, gotta say they are quite noisy and feel pretty much the same to me.

Re: RS4 Tyres ??
I dunno what all the fuss is about. The Pirelli’s on my SQ5 are the dogs danglies in the wet. They did extremely well around a very wet Donington Park track. I stayed with plenty of fast cars including FaisalJ and kept up with pule333. You numpties that need good tyres just need to learn how to drive.

Re: RS4 Tyres ??
Just for information I have purchased 4 Michelin PS4S's from Costco and currently they have a special offer on if you purchase 4 Michelin tyres , so fitted they were £967.14 ( obviously you have to be a member there to purchase tyres.

Really pleased with the PS4S's so far. A lot of grip even when cold and the only negative I can think of is that they're probably the noisiest Pilot Sport tyre I've had.

Found the P Zeros much better on the B8 than the B7, could be going from the 19s to 20s!
Had 2 Brown trouser moments in the B7 but not a twitch in torrential rain in the B8. Not saying there the best but not as bad as what people think.
