    what are the best tyres ?

    Hello i own an 2011 Audi a4 2.0 tfsi quattro dynamik,
    My car is currently running on dunlop sp sport maxx gt tyres which i find are ok, what tyres are other people running on ? wat are the best for high performance comfort wet and dry grip and the perfect all rounder but mostly performance and ones which last rather than scrub off in two mins,
    Not too bothered about the cost just as long as they are good tyres
    Any suggestions then please comment
    Thanks

    Michelin Pilot Sport 3 every time. Pefect blend of performance, all round use (wet + dry) and price.

    My A4 came with Michelin Pilot Sport on back and Marongoni Mythos on front, I have to say the Maringoni's are impressing me so far and at £100 a tyre fitted with lifetime guarantee I will seriously consider them when it comes to changing.

    My A3 170 has Michelins on and will only do 10k on a set of fronts. The Michelins do have more rim protection though.

    Sorry to jump on your Thread.

    I have an A4 TDI 143 SE on 17's, it currently has 225,50's on there. Can I put a 225,45 on as the Eagle F1 asymmetric only come in that size??

    Can you, well yes, would you? Well you need to consider the rolling radius which effects your speedo.
    Personally, I would stick to the correct rolling radius, if that means not using the eagle f1 then so be it, there's plenty of others out there, I've always use Falkens, never had a problem, and nice grip.

    No, Conti Sport 2 are my favourite.

    I used to race Supermoto, so kept my Rema TipTop regroover to get an extra 2mm out my car tyres. They end up looking like F1 tyres, just 4 parallel grooves round an otherwise smooth tyre .......
