I know the Sessantas were amazing, but they were superseded, I went through 3 sets in two cars over 4+ years - loved em, haven't tried the Vorti's though.
I've been considering the Quatrac 5's for all year round usage. I ran Quatrac 4s on my cabriolet when I had it and went 2 years with minimal wear, really hot summer driving in Monaco made them squeal a little on hard cornering but in winter they were sublime dispersing water super quickly and even when we went over a mountain pass in switzerland (on our way down to Menaggio) we went through about 3" of snow and had no issues, they seem a good balance for year round usage.
If I was blasting the S8 heavily around bends and B roads I would want more grip but to me, its not that kind of car at what? 2 tonnes?
If you are a spirited driver 99% of the time I can see why ultimate grip rubber would be the way forward.
Like I said, I am watching this with interest and will be good to see which way people go and what their thoughts are.
Looking at winter though - who runs winters and what ones? or summer all year round?
