Tyres Audi RS4 B8 - 265/30 ZR20 Advice appreciated
Discussion
Tyre advice please!
2014 Audi RS4 currently with standard P Zeros (265/30 ZR20) all around. Thanks to a nice split in a front, now looking at replacing front pair.
Had the car a year and a half and to be honest, much against general RS4 owner's opinions, I've found them to be okay. Granted a little tramlining at times, but I'm not driving on the limit and no track driving (sob!).
So options seem to be more P zeros keeping the same all around or going with general consensus the Michelin PS4 which get great reviews. Both seem around the same price on Black Circles.
But shopping around I've also seen the following which I'm keen to get opinions on:
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3
UniRoyal Rainsport 5
Both of these seem to he well rated for wet grip and (ahem) fuel efficiency and considerably less that the P zeros and MPS4.
Seen mixed opinions elsewhere for these tyres on various other models, but wanted to guage if anyone had first hand experience with the RS4 or similar.
Interestingly it appears Audi are now fitting Hankooks themselves to newer models.
Any advice appreciated!!

Uniroyal rainsports are okay but my experience of them against PS4 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy5 (on two different cars) is that they are nowhere near as good.
PS4 is my recommendation out of the ones you mentioned. (GY Eagle F1 Assy5 are a good alternative if you are looking to save a bit of money).

Thanks for your advice chaps 👍
Did lots of reading on all of them and, although I was tempted by the Hankooks, decided to go for the MPS4.
Got a good deal on Blackcircles, so now looking forward to getting them on and giving it a good run! Keeping P-Zeros on the rear for now, but hoping the difference will still be noticeable!
