As per title ,irreparable rear puncture in my R8 so only option currently looks to be replacing all 4 with something else -I know not as good but any ideas ?
From my research looks like Pirelli P Zero ( PZ4 ) is about best of the rest?
Car is used throughout year so don't really want Cup 2's instead.

Not yet according to most sources.
Conti 7 not available for fronts.
Cup 2s not really what I want for an all year driver.
Think will go with a set of PZ4.

I've read Falken 510s are good never used personally. I've always found pzero's require a decent amount of heat for traction and would never use them.

I use Pilot Sport 4s but find contact sports good but don't wear as well.

I had P Zeros' on my V12 Aston and they were fine so given the really limited options will stick with them this time round.
If I hate them then by then Michelin may just of got their act /supply together for whatever the replacement for the PS4S is.

Don’t know if they do them in the right size but Goodyear eagle f1 super sports I think are comparable

I did look at those but couldn't get them for the fronts as well.
Michelin emailed me today and said no idea when a new batch would be made or even available for supply although not discontinued as such !
I've ordered 4 PZ's and a 4S and the dealer will then swop them back to the Michelin's all round when and if that arrives.

FFS. Guess I'll be going with the F1 SuperSport again then.

Our tyre fitter yesterday had no availability, no dates for availability, and no information from Michelin (on a set of RS6 boots I need).

Size not even listed as a PS5 so isn't like we're waiting on a replacement model imminently.

I guess that the PS4S replacement will be the PS5S version so in all likelihood I wont see that 4S replacement ever !
Tbh its not the end of the world as am sure the PZ4's will be ok ( they were perfectly acceptable on my Aston ) and Audi /my dealer is paying for 3 of them.
My wife's new RS4 is due for build week in a few weeks time - maybe that will arrive with no tyres ?

I assume they're on Hankooks; RS6 certainly is (and they are available).

I’ve had Hancooks on an SQ2 and they were fine - obvs bit different to a RS - how did u find them on your 6 ?
The order sheet mentions Hancook , Pirelli and Continental as options - with no chance to choose.
I guess will be a nice surprise.
