Audi A8
(225/45 R17) on
a combination of roads
for 1,250
spirited miles
Just one month driving my Audi A8 W12 6.0 (Quattro) with them, size 255 40 R19 Y 100. Front wheels set at 42 psi, rear ones at 39. Single driver most of the time.
Around 2.000 kilometers made good on city, plain and mountain roads and highways, all under temperatures in the range of 15 to 38 degrees, mostly dry.
In a nutshell: simply outstanding, the best buy I have made so far after my house, my Audi itself and my digital piano as it is the best summer tire I have driven on for the last 34 years (around 550.000 kilometers made good and counting)
The way this tires are made (Twaron instead of iron, I have been told) makes me feel them as if they were 255 80 R19 instead of 255 40 R19: very comfortable indeed, even when pneumatic suspension is set to "dynamic".
Grip shows as if physical limits had disappeared like smoke.
Congratulations, Michelin, and thank you for giving us the chance to drive so. The sad side? I do not think you can improve them any bit further !!!!
Fernando.
