So after 6 years away from the A5 fold I am back but with a 2014 B8 RS5 in Suzuka Grey, I currently have the standard 19 inch alloys fitted to the car and they are soon to be replaced by the OEM Hyper Silver 20 inch alloys.

I have Pirellis fitted to my SQ5 plus running on 21s, just changed after 32000 miles and OEM fit.

Wondering if anyone recommends a different brand as the RS5 will be used differently from the SQ5. Any brands that complety stuff the ride or a certain brand that people have gone back to time and time again?

I had Pirellis on my S5 but changed to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Bit more money, but I think performance is better. 265/30/20

I just traded my SQ5 with P zeros for 2021 RS5 that's got Hankook Ventus S1 evo on, same as RS6 Avant and RS7. Can't really comment on then v the pirellis ATM as still running in.

I've recently fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. They also tend to come out top in many reviews.

Michelin, usually have offers on for buying 2 or 4 tyres. I paid £520 for 4 255 35 19.

Michelin PS4s very good tyres and never slips on dry! Even wet it’s fantastic grip and very predictable!

Tempted to stick the Michelin PS4s on once the wheels are delivered.

I also ran P-Zeros until I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 275 30 20 (summer use only)- waaaay better now so no looking back!

Also, like the other mine was on OEM fitment PZeros too.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for my S5

Thought I'd do a quick review on my new tyres Michelin PS4Ss! :) Got them after plenty of good reviews and decent prices now! They were replacing some worn out Pirelli Pzeros, which were decent, but suffered from tramlining and traction control light coming on even in the dry. I was expecting...

Replaced the horrible tramlining continentals with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 255/35 R19

 

[SimonRoma]

I had P Zeros on my A5, 19", great unless its damp!!!

 

[Gattmill]

Michelin Pilot Sport 4's not the 4S.
Best tyre I've owned

Currently running 20" x 285s P zeros on the RS5, can't complain, precise, plenty of grip, low noise considering profile and hard suspension.

The Michelins that came with my '18 (don't know the designation) were shot in <10K miles. (I wasn't having that much fun!)
Now on Goodyear Eagle Sports, and like them a lot (haven't tried them in snow yet, the Michelins were bad in snow too).

My S5 came with 'Blacklion Champoint' all round when I got it, rears needed replaced and I went with Goodyear Eagle F1s on the back, keeping the Blacklion on the front.

I'm a tyre snob having worked for Michelin many years ago and always disregard budget tyres when shopping for my own vehicles, but I genuinely can't fault these Blacklion tyres in summer, rain or snow. I'd never even heard of them before.

I think they're Chinese ! I am sure I've seen them out here in the desert.

Where did you pick them up from? Was that fitted too??

 

[nigelbat]

Was running Pzero changed to Hancook Kinergy 4S 2 H750 masive difrerence better feel and grip, cant wait to try in the wet

 

[Okocha-No10]

So I have gone for the Pzero, as Kwik fit the (only local to me) tyre fitters that I trust and they are doing it at the house. They fitted the tyres on the SQ5, so 20 shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Okocha-No10]

New wheels fitted. The chap from kiwi-fit was superb and had the job done in 40 minutes. Looks stunning now just needs a throughly good clean.
