I have a 2009 3.2 DSG coupe and also really dislike the P ZERO NERO runflats.
I have 12, 000 miles on them and they are wearing OK. However the noise is distracting and overbearing. Why have a quiet car with a decent sound system if background noise is too loud.
I differ from most TT owners. I use my car as a tourer only. If I could figure out how to add a spare [proper inflatable emergency spare---that would fit 3.2 brakes and well , etc...I know it is on the TT UK website but not completely definitive re exact spare].....I would buy touring tires...my tire priorities would be....Quiet, smooth, long wearing, all weather traction, and decent wear....performance would be way last.
i would love to identify that tire. I know, I could drive a buick and get that...but I like the TT

Have to say, just got my DWS Conti as well as my Trackstar 5s and it's AWESOME! I could feel/hear a considerable difference compared to the Run Flats. Will post a pic when I get a chance. Just lovin' it right now! Thanks for the advice folks!

fu13bu,

Let us know what you think of your new rubber. I really liked the ones I had on my Avant and may end up buying them again after I've blown through the new Proxes on my TTS.

So w/o the run flats do you depend on the compressor and goo? Or did you set up a compact spare?

Good to hear. Aside from the softer sidewalls of the tires, I've experienced a positive impact on ride with lighter weight "shoes".
