tire question

[OneBadAudi]

so apparently the yokohama s drives are on a 8 week wait so its either between the nitto invo's, or the falken RT-615....
Has anyone had any experience with either of these tires?
it looks like the falkens are going to be loud on the car but the nittos look okay.

bump, anyone have any info would be great, i gotta get back to this guy by 2moro to figure out whats goin on the new wheels...

so what did you wind up getting? I personally would not have gotten any of the above, there are much better tires out there, even w/o spending a butt load of money.

I've heard great things about the: Sumitomo HTR Z III... not the III, not the II.

I know several people with: General Exclaim UHP. They run them on audis, and they love them.

And finally: Kumho Ecsta SPT. Its a great tire for what it is, and for the price.

Those are the 3 that I'd recommend that are the cheapest at tirerack.

FWIW, the falken would ride a bit harsher than any of the above and would be louder.

I've hear mixed reviews on the S.drive. As for the nitto, I don't know nor have I heard anything about that one.

I have Nitto Invo's on 19" wheels on my A4.. They handle QUITE well. They are a bit louder, but then again, it's a 19" wheel...They get RAVE reviews
