Autocross Tire ??
I have a 2015 Z51 A8. The Michelins are shot after 5 events. Not impressed. Now the RE11's I ran on my 2011 Grand Sport lasted me an entire year. I know currently there are not a lot out there offered for the Z51's does anyone have experience with the
1) Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport OR
2) Bridgestone S-04 Pole Position TIRES
thanks in advance.

Just food for thought.
I, too, got tired of tearing up my expensive street tires. They performed well, but didn't last.
I bought a set of used CCW 18" wheels (18x10 front & 18x11 rear) for less than the cost of a new set of Michelins. There is abundant rubber out there for this size wheel at reasonable prices. (Lately I've been running A6 Hoosier scrubs which cost me less than $100/tire)
Running a square set up like this does mess with traction control (I run w/ it off), but it sure makes the car rotate nicely for autocross.
