RE: Tyres
Well this a real pain, I don't really want to have to put 4 new tyre's on the car when only 2 need replacing. I have at the moment P600's on the front and as I said P6000's on the rear, these tyres have very different tread patterns with the front ones being more worn than rear. Maybe I am being stupid here but I already have a difference in tread depth as the fronts wear more quickly than the rears so I already have the this problem. Make sense to you??

>From my experience... Last winter I put two new michelins on front and two
used michelins rear (same tread pattern, same size, but different tread
depth)... on summer I had to change center diff... May be it was already
not very good, but I think the tyres give the last point.
And my friend, who is very close connected with autosport didn't recomend
me to put even the same size but different tread pattern / depth tyres on
quattro...
