[A4] Tires..

[David M. Weprin]

What's the model of the Potenzas you purchased?  I had Bridgestone Potenza
RE950's on another car of mine and absolutely loved them.  They were far
superior to the stock tires, especially in the rain (it was FWD).

Wound up ordering Bridgestone Potenza's from Tire Rack  300 bucks for all
three.  Also ordered Bilstiens from Awe tuning.  Both buisnesses delivered
when they said they would, what they said they would, and at a great price.
Got everything mounted up Thursday but beleive it or not I haven't had a
chance to wring it out and see whatI think.  I will say that the
bridgestones are very squirly on rain grooves, and although the same size as
the tires they replaced they don't look as wide.  If i had realized that the
car had 8" wide rims I might have gone wider, but you really have to watch
clearance, especially in the rear.  Also, bridgestones seem to be a little
numb around center, but that may just be that I've been driving the other
car, and it's steering is a whole lot more touchy than the Audi's....
