Looking for an Extreme Performance Summer Tire in 245/35/19 XL for

my 2006 Audi S4. The car is equipped with STaSiS goodies, and is tracked/brought to the canyons quite frequently.

Currently I am running the Nitto Invo's but due to their "soft sidewall" they have failed to withstand the test of tracking.

Thanks for your help guys!

The Bridgestone RE01-R appears to be the best available in that size for extreme perf.

Re: The load rating is only a 89W with no XL load rating....

Those tires have 1279 lbs of load capacity. Even though the vehicle doesn't weigh anywhere near that much, this is technically below the gross axle weight rating so it cannot officially be recommended.
