Are these the same engine as an sq5?

 

[NickR]

I'm not 100% certain but I believe so.

Yes

Tax book came at last so I got my plate on this morning and gave it another wash...the joys of a black car!

Nothing better than a shiny black car, but God it's a pain sometimes keeping it that way

 

[Mr.Mint]

I'm driving a 2.0 TDI Manual Version today and it's a fine car, so I can only imagine how nice this is to drive.

Lovely in black.

Given that the 4 tyres on this are all different, I am looking at replacing them. I have been looking at Michelin PS4 and Continental SportContact7 but have never used either before.

Any recommendations?

PS4, once you get them you’ll only use them going forward.

Best tyres I’ve ever used!

 

[Boydie]

Are they 20's?

PS4S or the new PS5/S if they are out in that size

Yeah, 20s. Quite a price differnce between the PS4s and the Contis though. The Continentals seem to get great reviews too.

Fitted 4 Michelin Pilot Sport all season plus last month. Great tyre, particularly in rain and recent snow.

 

[NickR]

I think I am swaying towards the PS4S. @RubberLover I tried to PM you for a price but your inbox is full. Is the Michelin offer still on for money back?

 

[A6Avant]

I always used PZeros on mine. They were a great tyre but didn't last long. I replaced all 4 every 12 months at about £750 a time

We have Avon ZX-7's on the Q5 20's - the Pirelli Scorpions that came on it were becoming far too expensive, even the Avon's went up £40 per tyre over the year

The PS4S are about 40-45 per tyre more expensive that the Continentals I was looking at. Tyres in general are mad money these days.

 

[richie_mck]

I'm not sure what the prices are these days but we have Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 5 on the bm and I'm very happy with them, maybe another option for you

I had Hankooks on my Allroad and they were brilliant. Just if you’d consider a slightly cheaper option.

They are OE on a lot of Audi’s now too.

Bit of chat recently in What Did You Do To Your Car Today? about MPS4S vs Conti SC7 - might help sway you.

 

[Coog]

PS4S are brilliant IME, backed up by plenty of reviews saying the same. I’ve just fitted Goodyear asy 5 to the MK5 and wouldn’t rate them as highly but they are a lower category, and to be fair, still good. Rainsport on the TT. Bit soft for my liking but a decent all rounder and were very good in the wet and snow so also worth looking at and would be absolutely bob on for a daily tbh.

 

[NickR]

I'm currently pricing getting the alloys refurbished. Can't decide on keeping them bright silver or go more grey. I do think the silver looks good against the black. Opinions?

 

[Gaz]

Silver all the way for me

 

[Woodcutter]

I think silver looks really good.

 

[Todd]

Definitely silver!

I think the grey would need the diamond cut lips. Like the finish of the OEM black edition rotors.

Seen an A6 in the classifieds thought it was yours

No but that's a nice one. Genuinely have no notion of changing mine which is unusual!
