[V6-12v] Tires

[John H. Clemson]

I love the Michelin Pilot Sports.....
I have PS2's on my 2003 RS6, and on my wife's 2002 S6 Avant we have the 
A/S (all season) tires as well as on a 1993 100 csq Avant that we use as 
a true Sport / Utility Vehicle for hauling stuff and letting any child 
sitters use to drive around our kid.
I don't know if this info is any help at all.............. 

In researching tires, I have always looked at TIRERack.com for their 
comments on tires, and then hit up a friendly Audi dealer for comments 
as well.  I have tires shipped to the dealer (to the attention of a 
helpful Service Rep) where they can mount and balance and allign 
everything at once which is all they charge me for.
