Personally I like Conti Sport Contacts, always very quiet and long lasting. I fitted a set of these when I finally threw away the Dunlops.

I agree with you Jethro - I have the Conti-sport sport contact 3's on my A8 (there are more limited choices on 21" wheels" but I keep trawling the net looking for bargain new ones of those. managed to pick up my new set all around for £165 each even on the 295 x 25 rears. Conti sport recently introduced the sport contact 5's which are a horrendous price but perform even better than the earlier 2's and 3's and this has meant you can pick up the 2's and 3's out there for much better money than normal. I was originally quoted £350-400 per tyre for my back tyres so £165 each wasnt too shabby all things considered
