Anyone have thoughts on these tires. I am concidering them for my UrS4. No track Just highway and around town.

they have their test impressions of several tires (SP9000 included) in comparison tests, as well as user ratings. Good info, might answer all your questions.

HTH

Pete RD

but can you REALLY keep the urS4 "down"? My son has a '93, and that is one GREAT sport sedan! You are a better man than I if you can "just" do high-way and "around" town without yielding to the car's true character. Of course, he has a stage III Intended Acceleration set-up...0-60 in 5.8, and then it REALLY gets going!

SP8000 Better grip, tramline resistant, even wear

SP9000 better in rain, quieter, longer lasting

I HAVE A 2000 4.2 A6 WITH SPORTS SUSPENSION.IT HAS A SERIOUS TRACKING OR TWIST FEELING. ANY SLIGHT UNDULATION ON THE ROAD WILL SHIFT THE CAR OFF LINE.ALSO YOU NEED TO CONSTANTLY MAKE SMALL STEERING CORRECTIONS.
THE AUDI IMPORTER RECALLED THE CAR AND YESTERDAY AGREED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND AND QUICKLY FIXED BY SIMPLY FITTING PIRRELLIS.
THERE IS SOMETHING AMISS WITH THE SIDEWALLS ON THE DUNLOPS.WHEN HAND PUSHING THE CAR AT THE TRUNK FROM SIDE TO SIDE THE CAR HAS A MAJOR FLEXY MOVEMENT. NOT WITH THE PIRRELLIS THOUGH.

No problems whatsoever, ride is terrific, noise is minimal, and wet handling is superb.

and about 12,000 miles, I must say that these tires are great! And that is also the last chicago winter.

Silverstreak

Only 1000 miles so far...but I like 'em...no pulling or unusual behavior as one poster noted. Sticky enough for me and definitely good in wet as well.

I had them for about 20,000 miles.

At half the price (8000 vs 9000), it would seem like the 8000 w/b a slam dunk decision for a SoCal driver like me. Even less exp than my NCT3 Eagle Tourings per Tire Rack. Any other comments re; tires for "spirited" cty/hwy driving?
