New S4 Avant is in... is it worth it to have the dealer swap RE040s for P6000s ?

Default New S4 Avant is in... is it worth it to have the dealer swap RE040s for P6000s ?

or should I just get what I can from a tire dealer for a tire swap/upgrade. I would obviously prefer the Pilot SX but there aren't any unsold S4s on the lot with them.

Thanks

Default P6000's will be better, but get the Pilot Sports Those are the best of the Stock tire options!

Enjoy the new car, I got mine 2 weeks ago, was gentle throughthe first 1000 miles and have really enjoyed opening the car up now that It has 1300+miles, I'm sure you'll enjoy, but the RE040's got ta go!

Your Avant didn't come with Pilot Sports? I didn't think they came with RE040s or P6000s anymore.

Default That is what I did. I was very surprized when my dealer told me the car came in with blowtenzas.

Mine was delivered 3 weeks ago. I talked to the sales guy about this beforehand and he told me he would swap the tires for anything he had on the lot. Unfortunately he did not have Pilot Sports so I took Pirellis.

I guess Audi is confident Bridgestone has fixed all the the defects. I OTOH am not.

Default No but it was a late February build date...

I don't pick up the car for a few weeks because my A4 Avant lease isn't up until early May. Maybe an unsold S4 will come in with Pilots between now and then.

I'm pretty anxious but I live near Boston and the extra time will allow the road crews to fill up a few of the pot holes. I think I'll be the only one on the board with this color combination on an Avant - Casablanca White and silver.
