    Those who have assy 3 are they in 255/35/20 if so where did you get them as I can only find Jaguar specific in this size. Or are the Jag ones ok on Audi?

    £610 on E Bay.
    I'd rather the Uniroyals and £150 in my pocket TBH.

    I've got the 255/35/20 Goodyear assy 3, they are Jag marked, but that shouldn't make a jot of difference. Would love to see/hear the explanation of why it should make a difference, after all I would imagine all tyres have to conform to whatever tyre standard exists. The OEM manufacturer marking, AO, J, MO, etc to me seems like a money making scam!

    Just got tyres for my wife’s car and the MO spec ones were B for rain and B for economy. The non mo spec ones were c and e for economy depending on the load profile. Even the AO spec(same size/load etc) was C and B So there is a difference between them. Cost wise there’s very little difference between them.
    The oe spec ones were supposedly developed with manufacturers so there maybe a slight tweak in tread pattern or rubber compound.

    Thanks to all. I eventually went for the GY F1 assy 3 (ignoring the jag specific marking). Fitted plus disposal etc. £680 for the four.
