Most dogging is anonymous anyway
Any of you guys running different tyre sizes I've got 235 front n 225 back ?

I have got 235's all round, but I keep getting told by Audi that it should be 235's in the front and 225's in the rear.

Audi don't like it when you change things ,I will be running 235 winter tyres all round in few months ...

Ditto, advisory every time it is in with them. They'll hate my winter Sportecs with 235 winters on then!

Roy, this should look nice on yours

I can get you them cheap!

Why use stickers when you can just spray paint this on & make it permanent!

Have you guys running 235 all round found any difference in handling better/worse ?

[Vito]

The different tyre brand has made a real difference, not the width.

Just got a reply from akrapovic they don't make system for the RS3 and won't be doing one anytime soon . Gutted

www.aas-exhausts.co.uk will make you a titanium exhaust but I suspect they'll also say its not worth the money. Full bespoke cat back exhaust systems made with mandrel bending but they are popular / busy

Vito 255 8.5J fronts make a world of difference especially for a mapped car and I am still on the Conti's for now.

255 front that's different what are you running on the back ?

Agreed AAS craft/workmanship is truly stunning however the guys attitude is rotten so puts a lot of folk off, but for those who put up with it end up with a thing of beauty at the end of it.

But as mentioned they have a waiting list of usually atleast 2 month which says a lot about the quality of there work.

Once you get to know Stuart he is great guy but I guess for some initial contact could be seen as stand off-ish

255 front is the Euro / later spec option with wider 8.5J fronts. I'm still running 225 at the rear they are not wearing that quick so not sure it's worth changing to 235 as they wouldn't be the same all round anyway. After vmax200 at the weekend it won't be long before I need tyres all round so my other wheels will be going back on for a bit then I'll wait for winters.

Hoping by the spring Michelin will have started making Pilot Sport Cup 2 in 255 30 for the fronts

I haven't been to a Vmax day for years since they reduced the spectators.

How did you fair?

[SK-RS3]

Just been to see my tyre guy about 255 for the front considering the change up if it improves handling

[Jmcnamee98]

Vmax was no spectators but you could take 1 passenger. Gave a few things an initial shock off the line including an orange Aventator! Ferrari 458 Italia couldnt pass me till we hit 160. I have a good video of that I'll post it with a bit more of a review if I get a chance. A45 AMG was entertaining it was a standard dealer car and 3 different guys launched it against my RS3 not one of them got anywhere at all close to me. Speeds are to be confirmed but think my highest through the beam was 176 mph. Have been faster but the braking zone was early, the runway was uphill, comes to an abrupt end and there was a 747 parked at the end of it I didn't really want to hit!

Great day out though highly recommended if you get a chance.

What alloys do you have you can't put 255's on the standard rim's they are only 8J.

Good shout I'm still running standard rims at the moment

[MikeYoung]

This BCS downpipe & cat look good, it's from TTRS so sure it would fit? Looks quality, don't know if it's good value..
