RS4208250

Have enjoyed reading the forum for some time. I do 5-6 events a year with the RS4. On my second set of P Zero Rossos. I am definitely getting a set of new tires (on new wheels just for the track) (squealing all the time at last event!). Several of you like the RE01R's (RIRS4) and I spoke with the Tire Rack guys. They had concern about a.) "squeezing the 275 onto the 9" wheel (though I think a 9" is within appropriate range for this tire), and more importantly b.) the max load capacity which is rated as a "92" which translates to 1389 lbs/tire. Apparently for RS4 the max load should be 1565 or "96", (is this true?). So, is there a danger using this tire for the track?? Are the load demands less with only the driver when the car is not fully loaded with 4-5 passengers--and therefore would this tire be OK? About the only other option in a 19" is the Michelin PS2 which is one category down (max performance) from REO1R (extreme performance). Any thoughts or advice??

If getting dedicated track wheels I'd strongly suggest an r-compound.

The Potenza RE-01R is the **** on the street and the track.

Maybe Toyo RA1 275/35/18 as well.
