After the initial wear-in period, the tires have provided excellent dry grip, and acceptable wet braking, handling. You can't expect more from what are technically semi-slicks. Would definitely recommend in generally tropical/sunny areas, they're outstanding value for money, and feels terrific on my B8.5 audi S4 avant. Have just installed a pair on an audi TT 8N (2002), with the 240PS 1.8L T, will update within 3K miles.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Audi S4 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I fitted these to my Audi S4 Avant on 18" wheels to improve the ride quality and reduce the noise, and these 69 dB tires are SO nice and quiet!
Audi S4 TDi came fitted with them excellent long distance touring tire.
Driving Experience
I spend 90% of my time driving in town at an average pace of 50-80 km/h, and these tires deliver the perfect balance. They’re not overly harsh yet still offer excellent road feedback, making daily driving a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Performance
On mountain roads, these tires shine. The grip is noticeably superior to the PS4 and F1A6, giving me the confidence to drive spiritedly. While I haven’t taken them to the track, their performance in dynamic driving scenarios has been exceptional.
Highway Comfort
On the highway, these tires are significantly quieter, with much less resonance compared to others in this range. They also handle wet conditions beautifully, providing reliable grip on rainy or damp roads without any surprises.
Durability
The biggest criticism I’ve seen about these tires is wear. However, after driving 10,000 miles, I’ve noticed no drop in performance, and I expect to get another 10,000 miles from them.
Value for Money
Best of all, they’re more affordable than the Michelin PS4S in my region. Considering their performance, comfort, and cost, I honestly don’t see a reason to choose any other competitive tire.
They're not the quietest (Michelin, Pirelli and Dunlop UHPs have better NVH) but easily superior to Toyo Proxes, Nankangs and GT Radials for highway rides. They are comfy, however; and predictable. Wear could be a concern for the spirited driver.
Precise feedback (for an audi), excellent grip and a completely predictable performance profile. Just great for hot hatches and sub 400bhp cars. Reason being they're a bit too lively in slick and wet conditions due to it's racy design.
Still, one of the better tires in it's price range
