I put a set of RS3-As on about a week and a half ago (245/40R19). First impressions i am very impressed. Dry traction is right with my Invo's and Wet traction absolutely blows them away. I was worried putting on tires with a 500 treadwear rating after taking some with 260 off but those worries are long gone. How well they wear is yet to be determined... the old zeons used to get quite loud after they had got some miles on them.

I seriously doubt there will be any difference in mpg with any change in tire for this car. Most of the time when they talk about better fuel efficient tires they are in the range of 2 to 3% better... so in my g8 we're talking .4 mpg haThanks Cadueitt

would you mind posting a few photos of the tires on the car?

Much appreciated.

I had the Zeon summers on a 2001 530i sport, I was pretty happy with them, a friend who I bought the car from had put them on and I continued with them even after wearing out.

I would buy Coopers again based on my experience and with the new tread pattern they should not be as noisy.
