Default New tires coming next week - Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R 275/30/19

I'll put them on in mid-Sep in conjunction with my 15k mile scheduled maintenance. That gives me a couple of weeks to break them in prior to the Audi DE 2 day event at Infineon. . . now if I could just get that Stasis set-up on too.

Default I hope the sway bars are a better mod than the Hyper Shift

Because I se no difference over the OME shifter.

Are you putting these tires on the original rims or did you have to but different rims to accomodate the change in the tire size from the OEMs that came with the car ???

Default I bet. I've been working on wearing down the Pzeros

I'll have a week to break in the RE01Rs before I meet the RS4 gang at Watkins Glen. We have 4, so far that I know of, from AW going.

Default I have the rear bar set at the low setting and I find the car is perfectly balanced. You may want..

to try that and move it up if it's not enough for you. I bet they know it but make sure they put the car on the ground and have someone in the driver's seat to then tighten everything under a load. That will significantly change the way the bars affect the car. Good luck and let us know what you think.
