New Owner/Member. Tyre question

[22MPL]

Alright everyone, how's it going ? I traded my S3 in for an RS4 last week and i'm loving every second, what a car ! Its Phantom Black with a few toys. I wasnt planning on changing but once i drove the RS i was hooked, ive done 800mls in 6 days already. I did the exhaust valve mod and love hearing that grumble in the morning, it's an amazing sound.

When i picked the car up (from Audi Belfast), it had Mich. pilot sport 2's on the front and Pirelli PZerros on the rear. Is this ok ? I thought quattro's had to have the same tyres all around, no ? I told this to Audi and they said "no, no, thats rubbish" !! Im nearly sure it was them who told me though.
I said i wanted two new Pirelli's on the front but he doubts his boss will go for it. He's going to let me know. Should i be pushing for this ?

ps. No pics yet, sorry.

Thanks
Mo

definately wouldn't be happy with a mix of tyres! Audi customer services would sort this out for you if garage isn't playing ball i would think.

What's the exhaust valve mod - sorry sure it's been asked before.

Thanks -sorry for thread drift

That is very bad in my opinion - from a main dealer it should definitely have the same tyres all round. You shouldn't have to ask for that - let alone push! Complain to Audi UK if you don't get them.

Spoke to Audi today and they're going to put two new Pzeros on asap so im sorted.

Cheers guys
