Feels like these have stiffer sidewalls than the Toyo T1-R's I had. Haven't pushed them too hard yet since I've only got some 250km on them, but they seem to grip no worse than the T1-R's. At <$120 a tire, I'm, so far, quite happy. __________________ List of 3.0 owners on AW compiled by A4AdMan <big>2002 Audi A4 Avant 3.0 Quattro Tiptronic</big> Premium package, sport package, xenon headlights Modifications to date: Neuspeed Sport springs Koni shocks (50% all around) H-Sport anti-roll bars custom stainless steel rear upper spring seat spacer Silver OZ Superleggera 18x8 Sumitomo HTR Z III 235/40-18 95Y XL (current summer) Toyo T1R 235/40-18 95Y (previous summer) Falken GRB FK-451 235/40-18 91Y (previous summer) Dunlop SP WinterSport M2 235/45-17 94H (winter) Supersprint resonator and mufflers (quick video clip here) BMC CDA intake Alcon B Type calipers Coleman Racing 13x1.25" 2-piece rotors Carbotech XP8 brake pads aluminum interior trim black bumper grill opened driver side foglight grill (from 1.8T) auto-dimming blind-spot Euro side mirrors bi-xenon E-code headlights Ultraleds (ultraleds.co.uk) 1W LED H6W bulbs Sylvania SilverStar H7 (high beams) Stealth blinker bulbs 7507 (front and rear) Hüper Optik Ceramic 60 and Sech (metal) tint My alignment specs Writeup on load equalizers mounted inside e-code housing
