I have a Dtm, 2.0 tfsi Quattro with stage 1 remap. It's lowered too on H&R 45mm springs.

Can anyone recommend some tyres for the front of my car. I currently have Pirelli pzero Rossi all round & the fronts are shot. I found the pirellis seem to wear quite quick & had a lot of road noise. I never had tyres from new & only had the car a year so I'm not sure on comparisons.

Can you give me reasons for your recommendations please. Medium to premium budget.

Cheers

Everything you need in this quote, close topic. I have used all 3 and i believe they are the best 3 tyres you can buy, used on 280bhp Quattro, 400bhp Sierra Cosworth, 330d BMW, 400bhp track car weighing 800kg

That's just a one / few days tyre test .

People need to be concerned with real people reviews not tests .

Here's the cumulation of 128 reviews over a collective 1.3 million miles .

I can see an achillies heal...

Indeed just depends on what you prioritise and your personal experience.
They do wear quickly though.
