I thought it was the opposite. I have the Indy 500s and they are garbage in the rain. The only aspect of them I'm not happy with. I can't imagine the PS4S is worse.

In the rain the 4s is fine. Not great in standing water though

So driving through big puddles?

Yeah. The extreme contacts can drive through standing water just fine, I’ve personally heard

What’s the general consensus on best summer daily driver tires? Back in the MK6 Vortex days everyone said Falken.

Ventus RS4 or similar. Go big or go home.

Was planning on going small actually with some stretch. Not too much though. 215/40 on an 8.5 most likely.

I've been happy with the General GMax RS. They still grip well in cold weather so I can put them on earlier and take them off later. No problems in rain or even light snow if you don't drive like a moron.

Was thinking about getting this Rennline kit but not sure if I should get 35mm or 45mm. I’ve seen both recommended on here. Not running spacers.

Understood about 15% of what you just said…

not that I’ll have any answers, but curious what you mean!

Just wondering what top speed is per gear on the 7 speed dsg

amax = allowing the clutches some slip for way faster shifts. Mercedes and Hyundai took this to the next level. Where as a stock tune dsg can only amax after launching using launch control (I think?). So I’m wondering if the third party tuners have ever figured out a more dynamic amax experience.

I'm sure this has probably already been answered somewhere but I couldn't find it.

Outside of front/rear bumpers, headlights, and exhaust are there any other exterior differences between the mk7.5 & 7?

Rear tail lights too, maybe?

Fenders as well.
