Hey everyone I have an 02 ws6 A4 with exhaust and intake and just about to do alittle more mods here in the near future. My question is tho is it safe to ride around on @ slicks or drag radials out the back on the stock 10 bolt?
This means ofcourse that im not gonna be launching at every street light and all that stuff. But simple driving and the normal wot. Would that harm my rearend at all if any? Thanks for any advice

since you have an automatic it is more likely to live. you should be fine as long as your not constantly launching the car everytime you are at a stop light.

i dont recommend it. youll be safe with nitto nt555

With daily driving i cant see slicks lasting long at all.

All you need is a decent drag radial. Fine for an a4 and street/strip. Slicks wear quick and too much bite will certainly break your 10 bolt.

For what its worth I never broke my 10 bolt launching with slicks and my car made 490/520 at the wheels with a cam, 373s and nitrous

10 bolts will last a while behind an automatic... I say throw some sticky tires on it and let it eat.
