Hi all
I have just bought an S3 and it needs new tyres. I would like some feedback on your thoughts as I am a new S3 owner.
Given that I am mainly using the car for commuting I was looking at spending $800-$1000.
The options so far are:
Goodyear F1's GS-D3 - On the car at the moment but chewed out on the front edges which makes them noisy - had one place tell me that these would be their choice and that the Falkens were expensive, although I didn't think $255 was too bad, although I don't want to throw money away. $190
Dunlop Direzza's DZ101 - which are good on my Outback, certainly most Outbacks typically have Geolanders $190
or Falken FK452 - Apparently these are quiet and recommended by a tyre place that mainly does euro cars. I had ZE502's on my A6 and they didn't think that they were that spectacular. $255
Also heard that Bridgestone RE0040 are good but wear rapidly.
I was also offered a set of GT Radial tyres for $155 each which sounds good, but how good can they really be at that price?
Any other idea's?
