My P Zeros have only done 5k miles and I'm thinking about changing them all for PS2s to cure the tramlining - the wife finds the car too hard to drive on the Pirellis

My experience too Simon (on the S2). This raises a couple of questions :-

I wonder why Pirellis suffer from this problem; and why do Audi fit the Rosso's to the B7 RS4?

I have opted for the Goodyear F1 Assym's 275/30/19 96Y Extra Load, they fit the B7 wheels perfectley.
I have not fitted them to the car yet as i will do it when i fit my B7 brakes, so i cant compare with the PS2's yet.
Will post a picture when fitted.
