I had these on my A4 avant a coupel years ago. They were the best tires I ever owned. I had the ultrac2 I think. The rubber is very thick. I got a nail in it once and the mechanic at my work was impressed they did not punchure the tire.
Nitto Neo Gen tire received second place overall with the editors commenting that the Nitto Neo Gen had basically tied with first place. Fifteen tires from several tire manufacturers were tested in nine categories, mainly focusing on dry handling and traction, wet handling and traction, and ride comfort. All tires in the test were sized 225/40R18. All tires were tested using an Audi A3 3.2 on a closed test course. This data was combined with results from independent tread-wear testing which evaluated tread wear up to 12,000 miles. The Nitto Neo Gen had a strong showing in all tests. The Neo Gen received a ranking of Very Good in both dry and wet braking and Good in both dry and wet handling and hydroplaning. The Neo Gen also received high marks for noise, ride comfort and rolling resistance, scoring Very Good for all categories. The Neo Gen was also one of the most affordable tires tested. Because of the Neo Gen's balance of dry and wet performance, and ride comfort, the editors recommended it as one of their top picks.
The WR G2's look like really nice tires. I've driven two winters and 6 days worth of Audi Club Winter driving school on my older generation WR's and I've only burned off 2mm of tread.
the aux water pump is leaking you can do it without taking the intake manifold off thru the driver side rear if the engine shouldnt cost you more than 200 when your all done
I used to run Dunlop SP Sport Maxx on my S4 and they were awesome. Great balance of wet & dry handling, fairly quiet, and very sticky. Loved em.
100% Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s Only summer tires I buy anymore. I've had them on a D2 A8 and loved them, now they're on my GTI in 235 35 19 still lovin them. They are expensive and wear relatively quickly, but they have superior performance in wet and dry weather.
I bought the Yellow top today . fits the TT perfectly . and also made room for the breaker for the power cable for the Audio setup . the original battery was a little taller and wouldm't clear the battery coverery. so I was worried about mounting the breaker too far from the battery, now its all good.
I ran the same pads at a track day at Sebring (Long Course). They held up very well as did the stock audi brakes in my opinion. The last car I tracked was a WRX with stock brakes and Carbotech pads and it was total disaster. I was nevous I would have similar problems with the stock brakes and heavy A3 but they performed very well. Fade: 9 Virtually no fade at this track Wear: 8 Went through about half the pads with around 3 hours of hotlaps Dust: 6 More than stock. Get it off quickly after the track day as it becomes difficult to get off. This is pretty normal though. Noise: 5 Sqeeky on track which is to be expected. They will get squeaky on the street if the brake dust starts to build up. Just wash the car every other week and you are fine. They was no major rotor wear even after street use. I also ran Carbotech Bobcats on the rear but can't really say how much difference they made.
I've just installed ebc redstuff pads (I received this and rear green for the Passat) these days I haven't many time to use the car, but first test I noticed aren't noisy and not too bad at cold.
Cooler plugs (NGK BP7ES) gapped first to .028, then to .025 have changed NOTHING.
