Yes- average 50 miles a day, mainly motorway.....
(I would add to this that she is the most defensive, least aggressive driver you've ever seen in your life, the Polar Opposite of me, so this set of tyres will probably die through old age as opposed to going bald)
Falken are a decent choice for general driving. Actually ran them on my s2 and were very capable wet and dry. Used them on my a6 avant and octy scout....quiet, grippy and lasted well
Did they do only toe in/out or also adjusted camber? My S4 is in need of adjustment and don't know who to trust.
As for kwik-fit, I think with these it depends where you go, because they used settings for a 5 year old A3 for my brothers 20 year old 80
Just make sure everything is free moving and you should be fine with audi doing it on their biesbath (typo) rig. As long as you bring the spec with you or they have it on the system, no reason why they cant do it. I always insist on staying with the car while its done so i can see myself now...use the excuse of wanting to look at the underside while its in the air. Most are happy for you to join them
I think Audi gave me a quote of 80 all in but seems too cheap for 4 wheel alignment thus asking. I'll pop down to local Audi and see what they say.
Back to topic of tyres, Falken are very good in my opinion. Had them on my 100 fee years back and they were sticky and never let me down. Currently have Hankook V12 on the S4 and again, has never let me down, and at under £300 a set you can really complain.

I have falkens 914 on my S2 and they are good on dry roads but only ok in the wet, they loose their grip sonner than all the tyres I had before but without surprises just less grip.

Looking at the Before/After printout, the camber appears to be within tolerance whereas it wasn't beforehand...
I'm therefore assuming that this has been adjusted as well as the toe.
