After a road trip on Saturday, I decided that I couldn't take these Pirelli P6's anymore. Their lack of grip,poor braking, loud road noise levels, and overall lack of performance lead me back to the tires I had and loved on my WRX. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Compared to the P6's, they are soo much quieter,very progressive, much better braking(still gonna go with ss lines, tyrolsport bushings, fluid) and they don't SCREAM around turns taken at a lively clip.It's truly like driving a different car. I can now explore the handling characteristics of the A3 and it's soo much more enjoyable to drive! I would highly recommend to anyone dealing with the P6's to swap em out.Keep in mind that I do live in south florida so, I don't have to deal with changes of the seasons. My two cents worth.
