[s-cars] Tires for B5 S4

[Postupack, Jeff]

I always wanted a set of Michelin's.. had to drive for myself..
 
so I saved up my dough and bought my PS2 255-40 x 17's Springtime 2007.
 
Mounted 4 of these on the 5 spoke  Oettinger wheels I bought from Taka.
 
Expensive?  Yes.
Grip? Unreal.. dry and rain.. and quiet.
Look?  Yeah, we got look.. fat, moderate profile, super sticky, and all.
Wear? 2 Warm seasons, would have to check records to provide miles
burned.
 
I can say I will not get another season outta them.
 
The F1 style tread design has me convinced for low noise, and the tire
compound is superb.
I've never broken loose on these yet.. although I tend to be careful
because I don't wanna smash up the S4.
 
If you're after one superlative tire, the PS2 is the one.. of it's
successor's

PS: Then I switch to the OZ SL's with 235-45 x 17 Conti rubber, Next
year. 
I want to refinish the Oetinger's and polish the lip..

I think so, although you can't really directly compare different brands'

treadwear numbers.

Check out the reviews- I don't really see too many people complaining
about

PS2s. Pretty darn expensive, though.
