Ok. Loved the Michelin PS2's and now apparently out of production/ PS3's were a little stiff! On to something else perhaps.. what Summer tires do you all recommend??? Thinking of Continental Dry/ Wet?

I've been running the Bridgestone RE760 Sport - for my summer tire - "A" directional thread, good tread life, excellent value at around $150/tire -
The Conti DW's were pretty good. Not the DWS's though.
RS6 #1 904959, Daytona, Silver, tons of "stuff," went through puddle, dead engine, end of #1 for me, rebuilt by local enthusiast and thriving.
RS6 #2 904568, Avus, Ebony, no stuff, stock minus RNS-E.
Leaving cost aside- what soft 'high performance' Summer tire do you all like? Again I liked the PS2's thus far but not available???
Hi-po summer tires, I hands down recommend Pilot Super Sports. I've been running them on the Beast and can say they are phenomenal at gripping dry road. Wet road poses a bit of an issue, and I'm glad I have a second set of wheels with Blizzaks for the winter. Not sure where in NorCal you're at (whether you get any actual "winter"), and whether you make any trips to other areas, but my $0.02 are on PSS for the summer.

#905530 - Brilliant Black on Ebony. Sorted, running strong, ready for a new owner.

PSS all the way. I ran them year round (Texas) on my RS6 and on the wife's A4.

I've not tried these. However; I had "some friends" run them and tell me they liked them. Price is certainly low enough. This is more than less than .03 worth of advice as I have no experience with them.

These were on the wife's certified A4 when we bought it, they are LOUD! We had them pulled off and chucked them with 9/32 remaining. On her 2nd set of PSS's now.

19" Pilot Super Sports during summer and 18" Blizzak LM-25's during Winter.
'02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down
Super sports for me too. Although I've pretty much ruined a set running them hard on the track. I'll be going with a dedicated track tire next season.
Tim, for some reason I thought you used nokians for winter duty...
Avus Silver RS6 - Viper Stage 2 ECU/TCU - Water/Meth Injection - Frozen Rotors - Hbars - clear corners - Hella smoked tails - gutted precats

I know those are great. So dang much money though. I was thinking bfg r1.
I am looking for a decent set of wheels...

I haven't to date, but ironically just looked a set for sale tonight that are near new for less than 50% the cost of new. Might be making a switch the the Hakka's by the weekend..

My jag came equipped with Sumitomo HTR + from the previous owner and while they are economical I was never truly impressed by the performance of the Sumitomo's Def do not recommend running them on the RS6, better stuff is available.I've not tried these. However; I had "some friends" run them and tell me they liked them. Price is certainly low enough. This is more than less than .03 worth of advice as I have no experience with them.

Recently i've been running CONTINENTAL

and have had a bit of good luck with these continental tires

I have (4) TDR 1.2 18X9 ET25 Black wheels that are gathering dust since I retired Crazy from track duty. If I recall correctly, they were approximately $325/each new with lugs. Still in great shape- no bends or hits. Hit me with a pm or call me if you are interested.
