OK, I am getting ready to swap the coilovers on my Audi for a new setup and I am looking for new tires for it. The car is a daily driver, and gets driven about 100 miles a day. It's not a race car and is pretty heavy, so I am looking for a good passenger tire that is available in a 225 40 18 and will best suit my needs on a daily.

Thanks in advance.

 

No performance or visual expectations from the tire?

EDIT: I've run GS-D3s and Kuhmo MXs in that size. I didn't like the GS-D3 because they had issues with cracking the sidewalls leaving a sweet blister. No complaints from the Kuhmos though.

 

GS-D3's

 

Haha. I just edited my post and saw your reply.

That is the stock R32 tire/size and they had many problems with them. I've never heard of other sizes having the issues, but the R32 owners were ditching them quick.

 

This is one of those "if you ask 50 people, you'll get 50 answers".

I would get something with a long and quiet tread life.

 

I've been pretty happy with Pirelli PZero Nero M+S tires... for daily driving on the EVO.

 

They were the last set I had on the Cobra and no complaints, other than tread life of 10K-15K miles, but I wasn't an easy driver on them. I didn't have any issues with them at all and they were a great tire in the rain.

 

Agreed.
That is what I have on my GTI right now. 235/40-18 I actually like them.
Mine didn't last much past 8k on the R32 and it wasn't lowered or anything (no camber wear).

 

Well I read some reviews and talked to the people at tire rack and they recommend the Bridgestone RE960AS pole positions. Anyone used these?

The car is lowered about 2.5 inches on Koni full coilovers if it makes a difference.

 

Were you able to get your alignment close to factory specs?
