Opinions on Sport Package OEM tires?
I'm just curious to know what tires come with the sport package and if those of you that have them are happy with their performance? Are they quiet and smooth riding? How would you rate them in general? And what tires might you recommend to maintain a smooth and quiet ride without sacrificing handling significantly. I would like to keep my choices between 16" tires only. Thanks in advance.

My experience in 23 K miles
Come with Dunlop SP8000. Very good overall tire - to me quiet, comfortable, good in rain, good cornering/braking. Right now they're bald, so in summer will be looking for something else.
There's been some discussion that the SP8000s you can buy as replacements are NOT the same as OE - poorer quality. If you're not lazy, search the archives. As a replacement, from what another hotshoe A4 owner I know told me, Firestone Firehawk tires are good performance tires art reasonable price. Another option I use on the Porsche 993 is the BFG Comp TA ZR.
