Was using ContiSport Contact 3's. Didn't seem to wear that well.

I wanted a quiet and longer wearing tire than the Contis too.

If I had not gotten sick this week I would have taken the snows off and put the 5.4s on by now.

and they had plenty of life left in them. Probably a good 25K-30K tire for the RS4 depending on driving style. My miles were mostly highway.

If you saw my post about 5 months ago I was not impressed with them at 1st but after the newness wears off the tires really start to grip.

Once I burn through the Michelins that are on the new ride I will probably go back to the Yokohama.

I am taking a heat for putting them on but I don't drive at 80-100% of the cars capability most of the time.

Great tire thus far. I almost wish they had a 275/30 version, but it's sorta dumb to have a fat all-season tire....haha :D
