Re: TT 3.2
 

Your obs are correct. I take the Boxster out only on w/e and days off; and
after the car been sitting for a few days the first 5 minutes you can detect
slight vibration that goes away after that. The tire is great otherwise;
taken it to 118+ mph multiple times and the Dunlop hanging tough (West
Virginia; Volentine 1 sitting high).

I'm now shopping for All season tires for the A6Q and I'm inclined to get
the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S 205/55/16 ( not sure if I'll get the H or V).

Best,

Tony

Good Year Excellence come out well in reviews by users. I've just fitted a
set to my A4 and they seem to be better than the Conti SC2s in all respects
(so far)

MyTyres.co.uk has them at £100 per tyre.

Erm - *which* Michelins?

As the OP is based in GB, then GB or European recommendations
would be more suitable don't you think! In the UK, we don't use
*summer tyres*, we use all-seasons tyres, 'cause we tend to get a
lot of that wet stuff. Quite frankly, the Dunlop SP SportMaxx is
fu*king awful in the rain, that is why VAG have now STOPPED using
them, and have gone back to either Conti SportContact2, or
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.

Oh - one other thing (bad form to reply to ones own posts, but
you can't edit on Usenet), do a search for the wholly independent
ADAC tests, they will confirm the Mich PS2 is the best high
performance tyre on the market.
