Best Tires for Audi S3

Blasted through a Salt Lake winter storm a few weeks ago with these. Were amazing on my S3 so I highly recommend. I'm very happy with the continentals though!

I agree, they are a phenomenal tire that is very well rounded.

I don’t own a Tesla (yet) but I am huge fan of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my Audi S3. I run them year round on Florida and have virtually unlimited grip in dry and rain. Great tires. Should last about 30k miles.

This time, with Nokian WRG3, which have the snowflake rating. Drove to work yesterday with the same Nokian tires; no problem. With decent tires, and throttle and speed control, one should be fine.

Good Info Thanks for the info on this thread, I ordered 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires for my 2015 S3 with Magnetic Ride and ECS Tuning flush spacer kit. I'll post pictures of how they fit after they get installed tomorrow. Tires are the best mod, I can't wait to be off these Continentals :laugh:

Mine came with ContiProContact rubber. I ran them at 34-35 psi instead of 37, on a stock suspension. A quiet, and compliant tire. Good for general street use and on the highway. They also worked well in the snow, to my surprise.

Ran the Vredestein Wintrac Pro on my S3 last winter. They did fine. About the same as Michelin x-ice snows I had before. A little squirmy if you do any fun driving but that’s to be expected with a winter tire. They did surprisingly well on a frozen lake auto cross for a studless winter tire.

I was on coilovers for quite a long time and wanted to let everyone know that they cars will eat through rear tires rather quickly once lowered. After the coils were installed I had a proper alignment done ASAP, and noticed that in under 9,000 miles of 97% highway driving my Michelin Pilot Super Sports were just about bald from the inner tread block outward.

I bought 18 inch and rims with Michelin all seasoned tires. I bought them from Tire Rack as a package already mounted and balanced (so they said). I start driving the car and I’m feeling a lot of vibration from my butt. My thighs are shaking, and the steering wheel is vibrating. All four tires out of all four tires are out of round. So he road force matches them check the numbers and then seems to be all good. At that point, the vibration has gone down, but still noticeable.

Pirelli tires are straight garbage.
