Going on an 8.5 wheel. And I definitely do not want the stretched tire look. Thanks

Default They run about average, IMO...

I have them in size 225/45 on 17x8 rims and they pretty much look flush. Slightly narrower than the wide-running S03s I had before, but not by a noticeable margin...

Default Thanks Pete.

Perfect picture. How many miles have you put on them thus far and what do you expect to get outta them? And what are your driving habits like? Thanks again

Andy

I only have about 4K miles on them so far. Hard to judge their life at this point, but probably around 20K. I took them to a very rough gokart track and chewed them up pretty badly, so I don't know how much longer I'll keep them.

I'll be getting Dunlop SP Maxx next.

Default FYI, the ContiSportContact2 comes as OE on B6 A4 Sport pkg, and people are reporting anywhere from

5k (seems extreme) to 25k mileage out of them.

Personally, I have 17k on my set, and I'm sure I will get at least 20k out of them.

Default Got 6K out of mine

Liked the tires, though. Quiet and good grip wet or dry, even down at the wear bars. Just about all my driving is in the city, and the roads are lightly textured cement that run N/S E/W - so I take a high amount of 90 degree corners for the number of miles I travel. That I like to go around them fast does not help!
