did you rotate over the course of 40,000 km ? i've been told that Contis were designed for smooth autobahns, and thus get shredded by Nz's coarse chip

i had Pirelli Cinturatos before, PS 4 were an instant NVR upgrade. plus, reviews aren't stellar - https://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Pirelli/Scorpion-Verde.htm . i don't mind hearing your comparison, though. current choice boils down to $1700 Pirellis or $2400 PS 4

3 for 1 unlikely at present, as Michelin are having supply issues for that size. originals are Contis done 30,000 km

thanks for the input, all. guess i'll have to bite the NZD 2400 bullet with PS 4. much better tyre selection for 19' Vegas in NZ, @ZacDaMan72 ?

my apologies, i’ll improve my manners @silver1011

have found the tyre options for my 20 inch Extreme alloys so limited and over-priced (here in NZ) - i'm thinking of getting higher profile tyres to broaden my selection. what downsides are there ? not bothered about speedo accuracy, as i'll drive to compensate. am quite happy to sacrifice some handling for improved ride too

anyone have a discount coupon they'd be willing to share, please ?

two of my tyres have approx 3 months of life left, the other two have approx 8 months. which should I do ? 1) rotate to even out the wear and replace all 4 at once, further down the line 2) leave alone, and replace the worst 2, soon Kodiaq RS, done 30,000 km, rotated twice since new

when the biturbo engine in my Kodiaq RS ****s itself (a near inevitability, as i intend to keep it for as long as possible), and a repair proves uneconomical, will it be possible to find a new replacement engine, bearing in mind the 176 TDI will no longer be an option for new cars ?

was hoping to buy Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tyres, but only the standard non-SUV variety is in stock. how do they differ ?

Kodiaq RS with 'Sport' selected for drive mode, does that shift more torque to the rear ? as that's my permanent default, i wonder if it's detrimental to Haldex longevity

how normal is it, given the low odometer reading ? i’ve topped it up with distilled water, off to see dealer asap

new Scala. what might be causing this ? windscreen is wet IMG_8917.MOV

would love a detailed verdict from those who’ve spend significant time with both . thank you

heard it after switching engine off. front right. brakes weren’t used much. help with possible diagnoses, please. thank you FullSizeRender.mov

(i don't mind external burble, but would like the cabin quiet) when switched off , does it stay off, or does it need to be turned off each time car is started ?
