How do you like the P-zeros ?? I'm getting ready to put new tires on my A7 and still haven't decided.

My A7 came with them and and I will be replacing them with Michelin Pilot Super Sport cause they are noisy after 17,000 miles.

Thank you, It was fun figuring out how I'd really make it mine!

I like them, I know there are many who prefer the Michelins but I don't believe the price premium is worth the performance gains. Maybe I don't drive hard enough to notice the difference. I am 55 and those bursts of spirited driving are fewer and far between. lol -

I prefer Michelins over any other brands. Bridgestones for my winter set on the otherhand. Yes higher price is better because Michelin tires have better roundness and have less vibration issues compared to Continental or Pirellis and last a lot longer compared to the other brands. I hate Pirellis because they are noisy and always hard to road force balance for smooth ride and they get choppy and vibration after being used for 10k plus miles. Whereas Michelins stay in balance with no vibration throughout the lifespan of the tire with routine balancing. The handling and ride comfort balance is so much better on Michelins.

Thanks, I've been driving Audi cars since 1985, and have been modding them just as long. It's really become a hobby for me. This past spring, I've dropped major coin, and yes I could afford and could have had an S7 or RS7, just not as much fun... I really like what I have.

I think I answered that...

The seats were sourced from Germany, they came out of an S7 test car and were in like new condition. The S7 sport exhaust exactly what I wanted, sounds great, looks great and doesn't make the wife or passengers crazy. I bought the cat-back, but only used the rear mufflers. For me, it's perfect!

I don't have Carbon interior trim, mine is Piano Black. I sourced the trim from ECS and GAP.com All Carbon is exterior.
