I did a track day (night) here in Sydney recently, and pretty quickly found the limitations of the stock tyres.
On the up-side, they vaporised very evenly across the faces and were trashed both front and rear, showing the basic balance is good. It was a cool night in Sydney and I think I've just driven past the OEM rubber's design brief. I'll get another track day out of them though..
I'm looking to buy a replacement set in a 200 wear rating. and these RS4's are very well regarded and praised by others for (relatively) long life, which means I can try to run them all the time. (Car is not a daily). I don't want to buy a 2nd set of wheels (18's) if I can avoid it by trying this first.
I'm on stock suspension and I will be for some time as I have a driveway with awkward geometry.

The nearest size the RS4 comes in to to stock is 275/35ZR19W XL
Stock tyre size is 265/30-19

I suspect these will fit-up and work just fine, but it seems prudent to check-in with the brains trust on this one before going ahead.
What say you tyre gurus?

Thanks.

Josh.
