Mr. Jones Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Derek got me hooked up with some new rubber for the B8 S4. Was the only one that could get them quickly and for a sweet price! Decided to try the new Cooper RS3-S's Only driven to work thus far, but the sidewalls are stiff and turn-in is effen fantastic. Will give them some more time to get broken in a bit and report back on overall grip. I suspect these will be awesome summer meats! :megusta::megusta::megusta: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRN96WS6 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Did you get new rims or what? Didn't you not get that car long ago? Wondering why it would need tires already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BTW, stop in an see derek here soon, you earned a set of 4 reds tickets for your purchase. Nick, Long time no see, didn't know you were working w/ NTB. The tires are excellent thus far, everything I'd hope they would be. Exceptionally firm sidewall, sharp turn in, and excellent grip with a nice progressive/ slow break away. Consequences of course being every road imperfection gets transmitted, and they are a bit noisy, approaching KDW2 NT levels. Definitely not a tire for the quiet commuter type, but perfect for an enthusiast who plans to use the car. Might be the best bang for the buck going right now, I switch tires pretty often and have to say I'm very impressed, especially at such a meager price point. Thanks again! PS: Be in soon for tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
