Have covered 7500 miles on my staggered setup and have used the max pressures since day 1, which are showing even wear across the surface. Perhaps its still early days (not sure why the image isn't being shown)

I could see it on full lock.
This was quite a good pic of mine as you can see the core tread and wear indicators, then how bad it is at edge.View attachment 196378

Wish i knew what was causing this!
I've just had the MPS4S fitted, and granted with very limited tresting so far, I can already notice the grip difference, it is insane, not to mention that I can go on full lock without feeling like i'm kangaroo jumping along the road!
Something is definetly not right with the Pirelli set up... These are my REAR tyres!!
Did you opt for the 235 or 245 MPS4S? Going to change mine soon and not sure what choose.

I went for the 235 all round mate. I don't think from what i've heard on this forum, friends or even the tyre places on my choice that I will have any regrets. And I thought the Pirelli's weren't bad, seems I was pretty wrong.
Good to hear but how’s the road noise in comparison as heard somewhere the MPS are quite loud?I've just had the MPS4S fitted, and granted with very limited tresting so far, I can already notice the grip difference, it is insane, not to mention that I can go on full lock without feeling like i'm kangaroo jumping along the road!

I took my MPS4S's back off and went back to the Pirellis because the road noise off the Michelins was awful. Seems like I'm one of the only people having this issue though as pretty much everyone else thinks they are wonderful.

You aren’t on your own.
I just went in a different direction to the Michelin crowd lol.
No complaints from nearly a year on Goodyear Supersport F1’s.

*** really?! I’ve just ordered them.
I notice that the 255/30/19 Goodyears are now available too.
However, they are rated at 73 dB. Michelin PS4S are at 71 dB and the OEM Pirellis at 69 dB.
So, assuming that this is an A-Weighted noise value, the Goodyears are more than twice as loud as the Pirellis.
Well i'm due new tyres and this thread is confusing!
I'm considering just going for the PZero and getting an alignment and starting "from right" ... the car was second-hand and the rubber isn't in the best shape.
Now i'm tempted to go square or get MPSS ... choices choices!
My gut says give fresh Pirelli a go and then risk a change if they give me any issues.

++Let me simplify things for you.....
1) you go for the Pirelli which are pretty much universally deemed as poor for the RS3
2) you go for the MPS4S which are pretty much every RS3 owners solution to the poor Pirelli’s.
3) you find another brand that is similar the the Michelin’s but maybe not something everyone will use, like say Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports.

I had a set of MPS4S (4x 245/35) installed last week, after doing ~29K on P-Zero's.
Absolute game changer.... I know the phrase gets thrown around a lot, but the difference is night and day. Much better turn in, more support on the front during cornering, massively improved wet weather performance; and little (if any) noticeable noise difference.
Note: I always drive with ESP in Sport (single click)
I ran Eagle F1's on my previous S3, which were also a great tyre.

Sorted.
I used to run F1 Asym 3 on my 8P and they were great. Sounds like "suck it and see" just don't go Pirelli
I'm on a staggered setup currently which is a bit of a pain
On the 255/235 staggered setup (I think most are tbh). Both 235 and 245 square setups work for the MP4S. Just don't try to replicate the staggered tyre setup on anything other than the P-Zero R02's245 all-round? Was that on the square 235 wheel setup?

Must be a Record. Majority of the use on Town/City Driving or Highway/Motorway driving ?My from Pirellis are now up to 10500 miles.
I don't think that they are long for this world.
I noticed this strange patternation in the inside edges yesterday.
I’ve done 8k and just had a check at Audi, 6mm on rears and 5.5mm on fronts, surprised to be honest!Must be a Record. Majority of the use on Town/City Driving or Highway/Motorway driving ?
I did 17000 miles on my Pirelli’s on the TTRS. They were like new! Must be something to do with the way the RS3 is set up.Must be a Record. Majority of the use on Town/City Driving or Highway/Motorway driving ?

Don't trust Audi to check them, they said my tyres were good but completely ignored the inner edge wear.
