265/40 R20 Tyres

Ice performance as expected is bit worse compared to studded tires, but considering these days, most of the winter in the Northern hemisphere, we just have ice melted by salt to slush, it's perfect. Driving in the dry or snow, it performs great.

Bought an Audi A8 with these on, tyres were brand new and totally ruined the car, hard ride, felt everything though suspension, howled at 50mph or above but worst of all could not get them to balance despite two attempts, vibration was terrible. Replaced them with Goodyear asymmetric 3 and completely transformed the car.

These tires were above average, but my experience is they are less than equal to the Michelins Sport A/S 3 Plus I had on my previous A8L. I found the wet and dry grip to be good, but the turn-in seemed to be a bit slow, and the wear and road noise playing the largest role to my ambivalence. Good tires, but I would like to try the Conti ExtremeContact DWS06 next, or purchase the Michelins again.

Fitted to front axle of S8 and so far used only in dry warm or damp warm conditions but reasonably impressed. S8's handling dynamics are very stable and safe to start with and have not had to test braking distances yet but overall good experience so far with comfort, noise levels and handling.
