Default Anybody has Michellin Pilot series with their A4?

I heard people saying that most A4s are under tired, however I believe the car I have now is over tired (94 Volvo 850Turbo). I enjoyed those wonderful rubbers, am wondering if they work well with sports/non-sports suspension A4s.

I have the Pilot Sports (225/40x18) mounted on SSR Integrals. They are awaiting arrival of my '01 1.8QMS. Due in late June. Terry Dawson has been running the Pilot Sports on his A4 a while and loves them.

The Pilot Sport sounds great, but is it really worth the $230 per tire? To me, that's the question.

Michelin Pilot Alpin for snow tires. If that counts.

Default Hummm... Pilot saved my life when I did a donut on beltway ~70mph

That's why I value them highly... Life vs $180 each tire... I pick $180/tire...

Still though... those tires are fantasic compare to say GY's eagle or Par's P7000

I've been running PIlot XGT-ZRs since last summer (they replaced my stock Dunlop SP8000s). They're great, although I haven't noticed an appreciable difference from the Dunlops.
