What is the quietest, best handling tire, wet and dry for 180 TT?...>>>

Two weeks ago I went with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s...
on the recommendation of the TireRack. The tires are quiet, smooth running, very grippy and outstanding in the rain. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this tire. The steering feel is dramatically improved and the traction is outstanding. This is the performance tire of the year.
Cordially,

John told me you have Koni + Eibach on a 180 FWD...
that's the same set up I'm looking at, the chap at Shox said it was the hottest setup... John told me that yours wasn't what you expected. I'm looking at buying the suspension at the end of next week, can you please keep me posted on what comes out of it? thanks in advance...

Re: Still a big fan of Pirelli P-zero Rossos (silent tires, man)...
Don't know about whether you drive really hard (most just think they do) but I'm loving my P Zero Neros - all season but I cannot detect any difference in dry handling from the stock Michelin Pilots that were driving me nuts with noise ( a bit cupped)

The current tires on the S4 are the Neros - So far, So Good
The only knock I have against the Neros vs. the Rossos is the profile of the tire. The Neros "bubble" out more. This can be good or bad depending upon what look you are going after. For me, I liked the tight/stretch look with small bulge of the Rossos on the 18x8 wheel. I had the 235/40/18. The same size tire in the Nero overhangs/bulges more over the side of the wheel. It gives the car a beefier hunkered-down appearance with the coilovers. Not necessarily bad, but I like the Rosso look more.
As for performance, I really could not tell the difference between the two on the street. The Neros are a quieter tire from what I can tell. But then again, they are new and I may be remember the Rossos when they had 17,000 miles on them.
