    Tirerack options

    Time for new tires. Tirerack has two options: Kuhmo ECSTA PA31
    and General G-MAX AS-05. BJs has a few options from Bridgestone and Michelin.

    What is the other size option people have used for the rear? It's hard to find the OEM size.

    Cooper(forget the model begins with an RS3??) and Nitto Motivo's offer OEM sizes.

    Check out www.discounttiredirect.com

    Good prices and free shipping.

    I just had my mechanic order 4 Nitto Tires based on recommendations from club members. The link is below for discount tire direct. Had Firestone Firehawks and must replace after 26,000 miles due to cracks starting to form on the edges. Didn't like them at all. Had really good set of Goodyear Eagles but weren't all season. The Nitto is all season Ultra High Performance with 60 K tread life and members who have them seem to really like them for handling and quietness of ride as well. When you go into the site you can follow a link for other matching sets for the MM and they mention Cooper and general tires.
