Anyone have an idea of how the S4's handling compares with a TT?

Default I'm no racer but it does understeer less. Grip is better in my S4 but . . .

. . . I have 245's on it w/GSD3's and H&R streets. I have some cheap Kuhmos on the TT and it's bone stock. The TT feels more nicely balanced to me although in stock form it has too much body roll.

Again, I'm no racer or anything. Just my uneducated opinion based on my personal observations having one of each.

Well thanks- I'm considering trading the TT in on an S4, just wondering about the details...

Default Having had both, I can say that the S4 is much more predictable

I've had some close calls in the TT almost going sideways then all of a sudden darting straight when I tried to correct it. The S4 seems much more forgiving in certain situations. However both the suspensions on my TT and S4 are not stock so you have to take that into consideration. The TT had PSS9s on a pretty hard setting while as my S4 is set up softer on Koni coilovers and I have driven the S4 a lot longer so I could be just used to it more. Also the ESP thing plays a huge part in it as well since my S4 doesn't have it.

Default Threadjack: Do you get much rubbing with 245's?

And are they 35 or 40's? I'm thinking of going to 245/35/18 from 235/40/18. Still need to roll my fenders, though....
