Hello All;

I have yet to take a test drive of an A2, but from what I've read, one of the complaints is the fidgity ride at low speeds (i.e. city driving).

Subject to what I think is OK, in terms of ride quality, would it make sense to look for other shock absorbers which could make the ride more supple? How about different tyres?

On the former, I was thinking of Bilstein and for the latter, a set of Pirelli P Zero Rosso or *gasp* Continental EcoContacts as these seem to have the right sidewall characteristics and quieter tyre noise.

Opinions?

Hello All;

Have learned the A2 1.4 SE six-spoke alloys tyre size is not available for Pirelli Rossos, so that nixes that. Also the factory recommended Michelin Prems are not available either, so that leaves Dunlop or the Contis. Hmm...
