These tires really wake up during spirited driving... although i only got about 4000 miles on the rears

Ouch. That is R compound wear rates.

Many burn outs ?

Yeah my rears are lacking tread depth too.

That makes more sense then. You should get 8k without burnouts and drifting from the rears.

TRZ06 · 04-07-2016, 10:26 AM

Ready for install...

The rears are definitely wider and the sidewalls are more flush and not as stretched.

TRZ06 · 04-07-2016, 11:38 AM

These are all stock sizes.

Yeah but what's the fun in that

Tires look good BTW, i just ordered my rear set

Initial impressions are very good.

All these observations are in MDM mode.

TRACTION: even with only 20 miles on them, full traction out of first gear with only a sporadic blinking of the traction light, but no noticeable computer intervention. I know it will get even better after the mold agent wears off.

S3 SHIFT MODE: Now fully usable without computer intervention.

ROAD NOISE: Both with windows up and down, there is a little more road (whirling) noise, but not a lot more. Definitely within tolerance for all the positives. Also some surfaces cause new types of noises, but again minor.

INITIAL TURN-IN: It feels a little more sharp, but not because of the sidewalls, more because of the higher grip levels. Over all not much of a change from the PSS.

LOOKS: More squared look on the sidewalls with less of a stretched look (especially in the rear), from the rear it looks proper wide now.

OVERALL: Very impressed, can't wait to get the mold agent worn off and for the first 1,000 miles to go by as that is where the tread depth drops a little and they get more stable.

I'm still playing with air pressure. Currently have them at 35 PSI semi-warm (probably 33-34 PSI cold)

Next up... Ohlin R/T as soon as they are released.
