Soon be time for a set what are your preferences, only really need fronts will it matter if different manufacturer.thanks
Are you on 17" rims? I got Michelin Pilot Supersports in 18" for mine on Black CirclesFactory ContiPremium Contact 2 swapped to Bridgestone S001's.
Road noise noticeably louder. Performance destroys the Conti (obviously, not a sports tyre, don't even know why it came with those tyres).
Can't get any Michellin tyres, they don't stock S1 wheel sizes according to website. I would go Michellin if I could...
Not sure, arguably on your next wheel rotation it would suck to have less grippier tyres in the front than the back. Depends on what kind of driving you do? (Straights /street or curves)
I'm on the Michelin Pilot Supersports. Really pleased with them. A lot less road noise compared with Continental conti's
What size wheel and tyres do you have?I fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the 18 inch wheels a week ago - so much happier on these than the Bridgstones it came with. I hadn't realised the difference on the S1 until I did. Not cheap (paid £294 for two all bits and bobs included) but I don't mind paying extra to keep me and the family as safe as possible....
Any idea what offset n width the rims are?225/35/r18 mate - the Quattro exterior pack wheels
I’m sure the performance out of the trees is much better, but what is the ride quality like? Are they quieter?I fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the 18 inch wheels a week ago - so much happier on these than the Bridgstones it came with.

Any chance of posting up a picture, as I would like to see the design of the tyre against the wheel. Thanks

Ha looked a proper loon in the car park taking pics of my wheels/tyres!
Bridgestones are also on mine from the factory, and I think this would be mostly the tyre used by Audi for this size. It could be a recent change in tyre supplier, hence your Continental’s.Mine came with Continentals from the factory... do they mix tyres, or did you buy a used car?
I believe that website has slightly incorrect info, fairly certain my 2015 Quattro pack alloys are ET37.5 (7.5") .Ha looked a proper loon in the car park taking pics of my wheels/tyres! (see attached)View attachment 142774

Michelin PSS fitted a few weeks back and the ride comfort is so much better! Happy days!Ordered some Michelin PSS from Camskill, so looking forward to getting them fitted soon. Seriously hoping for big improvements over the OEM Bridgestones.
