Struggling to find P zero R02 for my R8
Discussion
I don't know exact age or model of your car, but it doesn't appear they're available as a 295 or 305; R8 fronts are a very common size by comparison (used on numerous other Audis) so come in different patterns/compounds.
I personally would be tempted to move away from the Pirellis, then match the fronts up when next required.

Don’t know where you’re based but just had a good experience at the Burton one of these -

It was less of a tyre fitters, more like a car tyre themed laboratory.
If they can’t source them, they surely don’t exist?

I think you'd need to be a far better driver than I (and going very much faster) to feel whatever minute difference there may be.
Totally see the appeal of their matching visually mind you.
That was the whole point - you are correct - aesthetics. They all cost pretty much the same.Totally see the appeal of their matching visually mind you.
I've got the back out several times on motorway roundabouts and its a non event that I don't think has much to do with the tyres - more the traction control. You can feel a slight deadness in the throttle as it gathers itself back up again :-)

Amusing, but the P-Zero on those is a bit crap by modern standards.
Yeah - read that. It's just what it came with and the official Audi recommendation (or one of), so that's what I bought when replacing the fronts.TBF - you could fit chinese remoulds on it and she'd still grip like s
t to a blanket within the bounds of road driving.I bought a super low miles one a couple of years ago that had rock hard, perished ~10 year old Continentals on. Obviously spent a lot of time sitting.
It did not grip like s*** on a blanket, but did have handling characteristics liable to make me deposit s*** on a blanket (had I been wearing one instead of pants).
