and I hope the Pilot Sport A/S mix of abilities works well for you. I'm pleased with them. They also last quite decently.

I like the Michelin's, but I think they suit the A8 (over the S8) better.

OK, guys, I get all this stuff, but back to the Q: spacers or no spacers?

ttuling

Pro (someone please correct me if I don't have this right):
somewhat less roll when resisted by a wider track
slightly higher cornering grip due to less lateral weight transfer
some people think it looks good

Con:
possibility of less grip over bumps due to extra unsprung weight
faster wheel bearing wear
possibly squirmy steering in low traction conditions


I don't take the car racing, think it already has enough ultimate cornering grip, question its steering finesse and had a wheel bearing fail before 60k miles. So spacers are not for my car. Your priorities may be different.
