Best Tires for the Audi TT RS

Great value for money for the tread wear (softness). Nothing unusual for a trackday tire like this to need a bit of heat to really work but still decent enough dry grip when cool. Like another review states, they make a sound like a wheel bearing or rear diff has worn at motorway speeds 60/70mph. I was glad I found that review as it helped reassure me it was the tires and not something more expensive wrong with the car.

Optimal dry grip, quite similar to a semi-slick. Wet grip is also above average. At ambient temperatures of 10°C or below, the tire loses a lot of grip. Durability is poor with sporty driving. Average mileage on the front axle: 15,000km, average mileage on the rear axle: 20,000km. The tire provides pure driving pleasure, and I've been using it exclusively for many years.

These tires are amazing, they combine road comfort and high performance. The sidewall is a little softer than I would like, but increasing tire pressure to 40 psi mostly negates this. The grip is incredible, so predictable and consistent, dry or wet, it just hooks onto the road and doesnt let go. The grip gets even better when the tires heat up. Car feels very stable under braking and hard acceleration. Definitely a good choice for a high performance car that doesnt really go on the race track much, great for normal roads. 10/10 would get a speeding ticket again.

Bought a TTRS with these tires on and I wasnt impressed. Not sure why would anyone put tires like these on a high performance car. Its fine in the drive and warm, but when it rains the car suddenly snaps and end up going sideways around the roundabout and traction control lights up even in 3rd gear. Taking these off and replacing them with Michelin PS this week

used for hill climbs 10 wins from 10 starts, loads of grip and feel, progressive slides good under brakes and go where you point them, road noise very high, wet grip good, tire wear ok about the same as any other track tire, and big bonus there cheap

I had two LS588 fitted during my last MoT. I'm an enthusiastic driver and was hesitant to switch from Toyo but they are a fantastic road tire. Very good for road noise and reassuring in the wet. Would recommend the LS588 to anyone, especially those who just need tires and aren't performance orientated, simply because they're so impressive all round.

Exceptional tires for their value.
OEM Yokohama V105's were worse...much worse not only in comfort but in both performance on dry and wet. Just the road feedback could be improved ...
Very good tire and w/o much info in the net was curious to try them and don't regret at all...

This is an initial review after enough mileage to be able to comment.

The MPS4 replaced MPSS which had replace the MPS2 prior some years back. The MPS2 had replaced a set of Pirelli tires that lasted or of 8k miles and the MPS2 lasted over 20k miles and had served me well. MPS4 also lasted over 20k miles and I was going for another MPSS however the shop only had two in stock though plenty of MPS4 in the 255/35/19 96Y that I needed. Price was 'OK', sure....I could have got them 'cheaper' if I had shopped around however I was in need so was happy to pay.
First impression walking up to the car is the smell of these new MPS4...very pleasant and more so than I remember new tires smelling...grabbed my attention for sure. Glad the thread pattern looked like they could go to work...if you know what I mean ;). These may be minor details however that is the sort of things I look out for on new changes. OS before I even got in to the car he tires had already impressed.

I had driven the 50 miles on a wet dull looking British morning to the shop using the motorway so was looking forward to the journey back on B-roads. The car felt good as always on the way there...planted; sure-footed though as the tires were getting close to end of life the ride had got firmer - which is to be expected.

2nd impression of MPS4 after driving all of 500 meters to a set of light is the comfort...gone were the sharp edges...replaced with a softened thud. So noise level was down and comfort was apparent - again new tires so that was expected. What I did not expect however was wet road grip on new tires. I usually take it easy for the best part of 50 miles and past tire changeover had been nice dry days...however today it was wet on the roads and the confidence form the car made it easier to be a little bit more liberal with the throttle. Grip in the wet was immediately impressive...sure, MPSS was great in the wet however I do not recall them being this good when new. That was the journey home and I was very pleased with the change.

Next day I checked cod tire pressures and reset these to what I prefer - they had been set 4PSI higher at the shop. The change in PSI helped with comfort further and wet or dry tarmac handling was still surefooted.

Few days later i decided to really test these tires out and in the wet you can safely move along with confidence. On a dry day the tires get sticky...judging by the debris pricked up and grip is great...only criticism is that the softer riding now means I either increase rear tire pressures to get a firmer ride which I like for spirited driving or engage the firmer suspension mode. In fact , I will be upgrading my springs to a firmer set that I usually keep for track days however with MPS4 riding this comfortable, I suspect a stiffer set of rear springs would be just fine.

I will report back after track session and a few more miles. I also note that the MPS4 S is due next year...would wait on feedback before looking in to those if indeed there is much of a benefit but for now the MPS4 are great change to form MPSS.
