It's been a week now since I found my new A8. Just been too busy too find a moment to say... I'm back in the game.
Delighted. She's got everything, and more, than I wanted to replace my last ride and I bought her off a fabulous family who were only selling because they bought a new D4. Great to meet them and to see that, yet again, once bitten you've driven an A8 it's hard to go to anything else. A few cosmetics to be done over coming weeks to bring her to my taste, but overall really loving her vibe. Thanks to the cool peeps here on the forum for their support during the dark days of no A8. ;-) ![]() ![]() Last edited by d.f.; 7th October 2015 at 11:29 PM. |

Welcome back, your new 8 looks very, very nice.
Been toying with the idea of putting my 20" FE wheels on for winter and getting the standard wheels refurbished.......you may have just convinced me it's a great idea ![]() More photos soon please (once you've removed the S8 badges ![]()

No, Winter tyres can be run perfectly fine in summer, they just wear faster. I am I am putting winter tyres on either this or next weekend as the summer tyres does not grip well with reduced temperatures an wetness on the road in the late evenings, early mornings now.
Possibly sidewall was internally damaged by running underinflated at some point in life.
