    Anyone with an S3 riding on Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires?

    I'm having to put air in 3 of my 4 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tires every few days so I need new tires. I have mag-ride and I'm on 034 Motorsport dynamic lowering springs. If any of you are using Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires what are your thoughts? I live in Florida so I will be using them year-round. If you have any pics of your S3 with them please post them.

    They're an OE 19" tire on the 8Y RS3, so you might get some opinions from that group. But that it's an OE tire is usually a good sign of quality.

    I have them on my RS3. I quite like them for spirited street driving. The grip doesn't seem to be mind blowing or anything, but it's very good. The ride comfort and noise are nice. The turn-in feels very fast and responsive. Overall, I have no complaints for my use case.

    I think TireRack has a good comparison of these vs other competition. They did well as I recall. I think it "lost" to the PS4S, but it arguably depends on what you want out of a tire.

    Which Yokohamas are you on now? I was considering the Yokohama Advan Apex V601.

    i did have them before. street compliant. not harsh for a high-performance tire. i would say as for ride quality, its not far under the Michelin pilot sport but without the price tag of the Michelin.
