RE: Tyres

Thanks for the reply, I was under the impression that provided the tyre's were the same on each axle then there would be no harm to the diffs, if I were to put P6000's on the front they would still be taller i.e. more tread depth than the rears, I was not going to change the size's, point taken though. 

Regards

Iain

It's very advisible to use the same tires with the same protector / same
size on all wheels if you have quattro. Otherwise you risk to damage your
diffs.
And P6000 ar good tires... I use them since march, and they feel very good.
