    New kicks for my baby!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I put off replacing my OE Contis long enough (only 19k miles). Thanks to the fine folks at Tire Rack.






    Look at these grooves....looks like a slip n' slide.




    My spare still has a mint condition Conti. Should I replace it?

    Ohhh, I like those. I'd keep the spare, but that's just me. It is a spare after all.

    Let us know you impression of these. Most people on here don't get all seasons since they usually run a dedicated winter wheel/tire set-up. I always see reviews of PS2's but never of the Pilot Sport A/S's.

    Re: New kicks for my baby!

    Those are the exact tires I had on my last car and they were awesome! Definitely what I plan to replace my S03's with. I'll probably put a few more miles on the Bridgestones first, but the Michelins will be returning to my garage by late fall.

    Great choice... Enjoy!

    Great set of tires, only problem I had was mine didn't wear too well. They were shot at about 23k miles

    Re: New kicks for my baby!

    I had these on my B5 S4. They were a replacement for the OE Pilot Sports. My car went from useless in snow, to a snow mobile just by changing tires.

    I used to say I could go anywhere as long as I had ground clearance, and I meant it.

    In dry conditions, maybe they went from 9/10 to 8/10 but I would get a lot of miles (mostly highway) out of them too.

    I only have 19k on my 2005 B6 and the OE Contis were silly-bad in the snow so I never drove it. I can't wait for the winter now.

    They're going on tomorrow and I'll be sure to post feedback of how these drive in dry conditions.

    They are excellent in rain / moderate snow conditions. I had them on a RWD car and it handled great. I can't wait to see how they do with Quattro!

    I'll snap some photos when I get my car back from Audi.

    so far, I am thrilled with the tires. They are quiet and they stick like gum.
