Tim lane Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 My A3 1.4 TFSI wants to wheel spin rather than grip when pulling away. Tyres are still legal so wondering if anyone can recommend a decent tyre that will give me more grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan3222 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I can't fault the Uniroyal rainsport contact 3 tyres. I was introduced to them via a chap who supplies to several boys who race saloons. On wet days the cars wearing these tyres were some 10 seconds a lap quicker than the next fastest cars. In the dry they were still just as fast as all the other cars too. Anyways, I have them on the A6 and the T5 and they are just the DB's in my opinion. Please stay awAy from Dunlop sports!! They are just terrible for front wheel drive cars.

Dan3222 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 No problem. I think I paid approx £115 a corner for the 18's on the Audi. But all tyres went up in price at beginning of the year by about 8% if I remember rightly. Good luck which way you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim lane Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'd rather pay a bit extra now on tyres that grip than get cheaper ones and having to keep replacing them. Thanks again for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
