My ALL 4 just arrived at the dealer and I will take delivery on Fri.

I noticed on the specs that the All Season Tires are not listed, but were on the purchase order.

Should I push the dealer to swap out the standard RFs for All-season if they aren't on? option is free and recomended in northern states(I'm in CT)

 

I have the all-season and I'd recommend you get them on, unless you're already planning on building up a set of winter tires/wheels, given your location and the season.

 

My MA was sorta pushing leaving the performance P7 on. but I pushed for the all season.

What all seasons come from the factory? pirellis or continentals?

 

Mine came with Pirellis All-Seasons.

 

Mine came with Continental Contiprocontact All Seasons. They ride reasonably well for Run Flats. Unless you go to a separate winter tire/wheel package, go with All Seasons in your area.

 

I took delivery today, and mine came with the Pirelli all seasons.

 

Is there noticeable ride quality diffs between stock summer and all-season run-flats assuming standard 17" rims?

I test drove CMS with non-sport suspension and standard 17" summers and ride felt too harsh without any handling benefits compared to my GTI with stock 18" normal all-seasons.

 

i've got the sport suspension and 17" all seasons. ride is firm but comfortable. so far no traction issues. and believe me, I have tried.

the tires don't squeal at all with the DSC enabled.
I can get them to make some noise with the DTC enabled, but the car does't feel loose.
I have not tested the limits with all traction control off yet.
