my rear tyres on my 8P A3 quattro are up for replacement soon and I'd like to change from the pirellis the last owner used. I'm stuck between 3 different tyres and would like to know if anyone uses/has used any of them and their general opinion on wet and dry performance as well as how long they lasted.

Stuck between:

Bridgestone RE050A
Michelin Pilot Sport 3
Goodyear Efficient Grip

I appreciate the michelin and goodyear are fairly new but anyone currently using them i'd be interested in knowing your opinion.

Pilot sports wear quite quickly but grip like limpets.

The Goodyear I've only driven one car on (Saturday just gone oddly enough) and was pleasantly surprised by how quiet they were but it was a test drive so didn't go fast.

I have the Bridgestone's on my A4 and they're excellent, seem very hard wearing too. Useless on snow though (hehehe).
