I thought the A4 came equipped with Eagle GAs?  If so, those tires really
suck... I've had 'em and they are not worth the effort required to put air
in 'em.  I've used Yokohoma AVS-I (very sticky) and Dunlpo D40/M2s (little
less sticky), both excellent tires when you decide to spring for rubber.  Be
warned, however, you will not get 30K miles out of 'em.  More like 18-25K.
