Default Put on some new shoes yesterday...

Finally had a chance (and the money) to purchase some new tires to go with the RS4 reps I got from Alloy-R-Us. The wheels look great and seem like they're good quality.

The new Falken Ziex ZE-912 tires seem pretty good so far. Hopefully I'll really be able to push them and see how well they perform when the rain comes again and the snow when I go over to Tahoe this winter. They are tons more grippy than my old "Dayton" All Seasons that came on the car for sure and handling is way less "mushy" than before.

The 18 RS4s also look SO much better than the OEM 16" 5-spokes that came on my car as well!

Default Yah, I'm kind of regretting not going with the Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S...

but I'll see how these go. They sure beat the bald, crappy tires I had on before.

I'm amazed how quite they are now though. I never realized how freaking loud my old tires were until I was going down the freeway on the new ones. Now all I hear is wind and my engine/VTDA/exhaust.

They seem like good wheels though. Mine had a couple of minor blemishes on them that I wasn't pleased about but I figured I was being too nitpicky and got over it.
