Had them on my RS4 and would not get them again. Poor by comparison to Michelin PS2 and Goodyear F1 but cheaper so you pays your money.........etc. :D

Interesting that Audi are putting the new RS4 on Pirelli. they were great at Donington, but maybe that's because they are soft and won't last?

May be. Read on B7 forum that they were not standard rossos and specially designed for new RS4

I had Rosso's on my old Supra, and they where awful compared to Bridgestones. They where also on my RS6 when i bought it, and the first thing i did was change them for a set of Eagle F1's, and believe me there was no comparison, the Goodyears wipped the floor with the Pirellis in every department, Grip, noise, comfort, and looks.

Compared to what I had they're fantastic. Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's 235x40x18's. . I think Porsche use them. As well as grip they're a shed load quieter than previous rubbish.
