ya, I feel same way. S4 -nominally- is to be reserved for special outings and/or road trips BUT
right now my 2 other beater (fuel efficient) cars are not in a drivable condition so I am forced to be using the UrS as the DD...sucks =( . As much as I LOVE driving that car I don't really want to put the day-to-day mileage on her, and the roads up here beat the snot out of every part on that car =( ; and then there's the expensive gas issue. Oh well, for now I am just driving less until I can get one (or both) of my beaters back and then S4 will resume her position as Garage Queen.

The bike came with D606's but the rear was worn. I needed something to roll on so I got the original
Trailwings put back on. I would like to get maybe another rear D606's since the front is still in great shape. Ideally I would like two sets of wheels. Some 17's with slicks for the day to day and some dirt wheels with real nice knobbies for the rest.
I ride to work everyday so I guess the Trailwings will do for now.

My dad just dumped his A6 2.7t for a '06 TSX
I think the first tank averaged to like 32mpg instead of the A6s 21-22mpg. Bonus points, it's a bland car so now he wants something more raw for weekends, like an aircooled porsche 
I've considered the same thing but I just like the S4 too much, although I like 240Zs more....

Yup,,those tires are perfect for your app. right now,a set...
of Motard wheels will set you back about 600 each plus rotors, sprockets, and big brake adapter. there is is an out in Van that deals only in that and you might be able to get a set of good used ones,if you get some Exell Pro Wheels then they will fit anything and you just have to buy the adapters.
