Forget the Ao bit, it's not important. PSS are leagues above PS3 (and still above PS4 if you read the literature on them). Get the PSS, job done.

Cheers Marc!

I was thinking of PSS as I loved the PS2 and then regretted having PS3s on this car. It was the AO bit that got me lost!

I'll get them ordered tomorrow!

Interesting, I've driven all the Pilot Sport tyres and preferred the PS3's to the PS2's, the SuperSport is marginally better than the PS3's but with a tad more road noise.

I've got barely legal PS2's on the car now and I've got MOT next week. Priced up 4 PSS for £635 delivered from Camskills, thought that was pretty good..

Best I can find after a bit more digging is £648 fitted from Blackcircles but no alignment..

They are £168 each inc fitting from Formula 1 Autocentres but order on their website and not in store

Michelin have a £75 fuel voucher offer on these if you buy 4 (think it's £25 for 2) - you need to buy from an authorised dealer such as F1, Kwik Fit etc and not the main online players.

Did some spirited driving in mid-Wales with them today and really impressed by the levels of grip both wet and dry

This has been said plenty of times :roll: .....the RS4 should have RO1 tyres, not AO. AO are for a 'standard' Audi, whereas RO1 are for 'S' and 'RS' models i.e. performance models.
If you need confirmation, just visit the Michelin website.......
