Thanks for the reply.

I bought the car new, and yes it is a factory fitted S-line in Avus Silver. I changed the 18" standard S-line wheels for the 19" RS4 which has filled the wheel arches nicely.

The standard tire size was 225/40/18 with pressures of 2.6 front and 2.4 rear. It was fitted with Continetal Sport Contact 3s but when I changed the wheels I had Toyo Proxes TR1 fitted. The standard pressures were fine and worked well.

I have tried all sorts of pressures and have now found that the 30 psi (2.1 bar) all round seems to work alot better as I think that the Michelin Pilot Sports have a harder side wall than the TOYO's and therefore this , coupled with the higher tyre pressures was causing the bouncing.

Oh, by the way, our roads are not much better than Greek roads at present. I don't know what the Government are spending our road tax on but it certainly isn't maintainance

Are you happy with the S3? I always enjoy giving S3 drivers a wave as I leave them behind. Revo remap, milltek cat back system enables quite a few more horses than the standard S3. One day I will be shown a clean set of heels by a remapped S3 but until that day, I will enjoy myself.

Cheers and drive safe!
