I'm not sure about Conti. I like the Michelin Sport but they are $100 more per tire.

Yeah. I have Pirellies on my A4 that I bought as a second set. I don't like them because

a couple of them have a light thump like they are out of round or something.

Im playing in my head what to get and here's what I think. If potholes arent an issue

and therefore bubbling wont be a factor then go F1s. If you need something stiffer go the KDW 2 route.

Put down the crack pipe and step away from the Conti display...

seriously, don't even consider those crappy tires. Dunlops SP01s are my preferred tire, but if you're looking for a super hi performance tire, you'll get even better recommendations here.

I love the versatility of the SPs. I absolutely hate the Contis. I got stuck with some on some new wheels I bought and they're coming off next week just as soon as my Dunlops come in.

Despite what Archimedes says, consider the Conti's. I have 4 with only 30 miles on them....

because they're not suitable for winter around here (I picked up my car on 28 Dec.).

Tire Rack sells them for $183 each. Make me a <b>reasonable</b> offer and they're yours (plus shipping).

If you live close enough to subChicago, you can pick 'em up and save the shipping.
