Re: Pirelli SV 6000 stuff (Now AVS vs World)

[Samir Shah <gofast1@home.com>]

I have the AVS Sports 205-16  on my 200tqa. Very cool looking tires. However, the
car's steering is so numb and devoid of feedback (compared to my other cars), I
don't really have any constructive feedback on the tires - I bot them in the hope
that they'd give me more feel than the stock 15 inch setup (I had A509s). Hoping
the stressbar changes that, and I also intend to add the 91 200/A8/Fox steering
damper (as per ScottMo site) at some point. Can't get the car to slide sideways at
all, which is testimony to either the tires or quattro, or both.
