I have never been more pleased with a set of tires and I don't want to be disappointed. Thanks.

I have the P0z 970ASXL (at least, that's what the paperwork says).

I purchased them through my dealer for $289/tire. My dealer has a Hunter road-force balancer and installed my after-market TPMS for free.

I responded in another thread, but here are my thoughts:

They are quieter that the Pirelli's they replaced. They do humm at speed, but the Pirelli's "whined"
I definately notice a handling improvement and the steering inputs are much more direct
The ride is harsh compared to the Pirelli's (because the tire is more aggressive) so for those looking for a softer ride, go with the Bridestone Serenty

Personally, if I had to do it again, I'd go for the Serenty's. I definitely like a car with a sportier ride, but I also enjoy a comfort of the A8 - I think the Serenty's would be the right compromise for me, but for many, the Pole's are a great choice.
