Best tyres?
Im after decent wear and not costing the earth. Dont mind a bit more road noise if the wear is better. Currently on 255/40/19.
Oh and is there a limit on A8's as to the difference in trwad between front and back tyres? Ta. |

Falken 452s would be my suggestion as well. I have a set on the Projekt.

Best tyres are those which don't get slipped even it is raining.
