the supplier in the Audi dealer ship is given me a tradeoff on the supllied tyres and alloys (18" standard alloy on sportsline, which is pretty nice) but only for EUR750 ( i persumed by the tone of his email this is for all 4)

my alloys are $700 each and EUR300 each so can i assume he means he will pay me for 750 each per tyre or am i still living in rip off ireland!!

any help guys please

The best tire of the bunch for all around performance, comfort, and noise will be the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. Incredible grip - I tried my best to break this one loose on a track and could barely do it!

For the Goodyear, are you referring to the F1 Asymmetric or the F1 All season? The All-Season has the tendency to become extremely noisy while the Asymmetric is a very good performer. The Dunlop is very good as well and has similar characteristics to the Goodyear.
The Pirelli I would not pick for price over performance.
The Hankook I would if it's the V12 Evo. Usually this is one of the best price options for some above average performance.
The Bridgestone is one of my favorites due to the ease of use. It is a very forgiving tire and extremely easy to control.

The Audi looks great! And the Pirellis are by no means a bad choice, just a bit on the higher end in price. Well done and let me know if you ever need a recommendation again.
