Gonna spend my Edge Racing credit. Seeking tire assistance...
As I mentioned, I won a set of wheels at TT-MW. Since I like my RS4 rims, I'll probably put the credit toward some tires instead.
Edgeracing.com (shameless plug) has plenty of different 18" tires that would fit from Kumho to Toyo, Hankook, Falken, Pirelli and Bridgestone. Obviously, I can get more tires with the Kumho versus the Pirellis, so I may or may not go that route.
I'm looking for some input on these tires, especially the Hankook, Falken and Toyos, since I'm the least familiar with these.
Any thoughts? What would you get? Click on the link below to view available 18" tires for the TT. TIA.<ul><li><a href="http://www.edgeracing.com/2004/Audi/TT_(all)/tires/18/">Tires</a></li></ul>

By far my favorites of those listed: Toyo T1-S.

Very stable and very grippy.
This was the tire created the AA traction class by stomping the crap out of everything else.
Good wet traction.
They tend to howl when you push them -- more than a lot of other tires -- but I really liked that because it let you know where the limits were (they SCREAM at the limits).
That's definitely the way I'd go...

Re: Get rims.
