The Mrs got done for speeding so that has put my insurance up by £200 l expected to get around 18k miles out of a set oem tyres mate it's the Scrooge coming out of me lolCome on Jassy ... none of those are unexpected costs, surely you planned for them.
LOL road tax £450 though ... only £280 for my RS3
Plus that little lot all combined came to less than your voodoo paint upgrade
Safer taking the mrs off the insurance
She doesn't even get in the car mate, she's only on the insurance for emergency purposes only lolSafer taking the mrs off the insurance
Maybe she caused the excessive tyre wear with her speeding
Your tyres only wore around 2.5mm in 13600 miles? That almost defies belief!!
What's motorway miles got to do with wear as all my mileage has been done on the M8 and the M80/M74Your tyres only wore around 2.5mm in 13600 miles? That almost defies belief!!
I'm assuming the majority of those miles had to be motorway and possibly they weren't the original tyres the car was supplied with?
Whenever threads like this come up there's always people that seem to get amazing life out of their tyres.

It was an S3 you had....and on P Zeros?
That sounds like my old commute and even then I got 25k + out a set of good year asy2 on my a6 2.0 tdi. Traded it in with same set of tyres with 3-4mm still on it. That car had an easy life compared to my current s3
Could always sell it if it’s causing you this much hassle and get a Audi a2

Well that's strange......because the factory fit tyres on my 2018 S3 are marked A01.
Gutted. I had exactly the same happen on my old car with a new set of tyres. It was an arrow shaped piece of flint off my driveway rather than a nail. It was pretty much on the tyre wall like yours so not repairable, literally the day after I had the set of 4 fitted. Really annoying
I wasn't doubting what you were told.

I've just noticed you have an RS3....and it's possible that car requires a different specific fitment of tyre to the S3.
Considering the track use which will have scrubbed off some tread that is truly amazing life you got from your tyres.
I'm running P-Zero's on 18's and I'm just approaching 13k miles, current wear looks like I might get another 2k miles out of them.
I don't like Michelin tyres my Mrs has 4s on hers and they're actually quite noisy considering it's a small tyre 225/40/17 and they look guff ie the sidewalls and have virtually no rim protection where the pirelli P zeros look ****** awesome.. . Sucker for the looks of them and have great rim protection, l will see how the wear on the second set fairs then decide to What tyres l fit next
That was kind of where I was at with the looks as well to be honest, everything in comparison just looks a little boring and now with what you've said regarding road noise I think I'll stick with the P-Zero's. I certainly don't feel like I need better performance from them so far.
Remember you've that heavy 5 pot bearing over yer front tyres lol
Thanks but that’s my question, is there any difference (apart from one having “AO” on the tyre wall? )
, what did you replace them with?
