Hi All,
Couldn't find a Tyre section on the forum so hopefully this is in the right place. Apologies to admin if it's not
Basically, the two front tyres on my pre-facelift S3 are in need of replacing. This will be the first time I've replaced them having bought the car last June. The previous owner has put budget tyres on it which read:
225/40ZR18 - 92W
I think given the money I have invested in the car I wouldn't be doing it justice by putting budget tyres on it so the hunt is on for a decent tyre.
I guess I really have two questions here.
Is the profile given above really what I need. A bit of research online suggested the speed rating was way higher than it needs to be and the load profile perhaps not enough?
What branded tyres would people out there with MK1 S3's go for?
Thanks in advance for any advice given
