235/40ZR18 95YXL

Audi A4 Quattro (B7)

I'm currently weighing up what I consider the best 3 in the game:

- Michelin PS3
- Conti SportContact 5
- Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 2

Tyre tests seem to place all three in different positions and make contradictory observations so not all that helpful. Not much to split them on cost either...

Any thoughts?

Ive had Eagle F1 asymmetric on both my previous B7 A4 and current A5. Seem to suit the quattro chassis nicely and also cheapest of the ones you mention which always good. Found Asda tyres! (yes i know smash) were cheapest when i last looked for a fitted price

Had Continental 5P in 225/45/17 (albeit on a 4WD MB) and while a good tyre - quiet, stable in the wet - it wore very fast. About 15.000 km on a set, on predominantly motorway.

I would have gone for Goodyear F1 AS2 for the replacement.

Another vote for the goodyears, got them on my A5 at the moment, they are better than the Continentals that it came with!
