I was planning to go for Michelin Pilot Sport, and this test surely made me change my mind. I'll be going for Dunlop SP Sport 9000 (if I can find any here).<p><a href="http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/audis3"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/ravenx_glow.gif" BORDER=0></a>

My personal preference is still the Bridgestone S-02, ever since I had them on my previous Audi quattro.

The SP9000 has not had universal acclaim - see the summary on tyres-on line website.

Try using Good Year Eagle GS-D F1's. The best we used overall in fast cars. Best in dry handling , very good in wet handling. Also braking is above very good.
