What tyres?

[G-P]

Hi, I need to change the tyres on a A4 Avant 3.0 tdi Sline that I am buying. Can anyone recommend what tyres I should buy.

Thanks,

Hi, I am new to the site but think I can help as i own a fast fit tyre centre, what sort of driving will you be doing in the Audi? Also what is your annual mileage and how much are you willing to spend on new rubber?

I use Vredstein Ultrac Sessantas on my 3.0tdi A6 Quattro, they are the best tyre its had so far. Much better in the wet and dry than Pirelli Pzero Rossos and quieter and grippier than Dunlop Sp9000. Wear rate is good too so far 18000 miles and 6mm of tread left wheras the Pzeros were worn out at 18000.

Just drove an A6 with Contineltal Sport Contacts of some type and they seemed good too.

Many people also rate Falken 452 but I havent tried those.

I know my car is an A6 but at least its a starting point.

I rate Goodyear Eagle F1 asymetrics personally

Don't get Contineltal Sport Contacts, they wear very quickly. The front two on my Jetta only lasted about 12 miles. Doing a Google it appears others found the same.

Thanks for the suggestions, I have gone for Pirelli Rosso's.

+1 I use the Vredestien Ultrac Sessanta tyres too, still loads of life left in them , and grippy as hell. Would buy again.

I am very pleased with the P Zero's, car is the wife's car mainly and general family car and she only does 7k per year. Seems a good allrounder at sensible money.

Hey,
I've got an 05 A3 Sportback 2.0T FSI Quattro on standard alloys (225 45 17)
It came with Michelin Primacy HP, they seem ok.
Mostly town and some motorway use.

Any thoughts as to what I should go for and where.
Kwik Fit seem to be trying to shift Continentals at the moment.

Any thoughts?

kwik fit are getting money back from continental on sales of their tyres

About tyres

On my a6 the shoulders of the front tyres have a lot of life left but it is the middle of the tyre is wearing out quicker. It's an old 2.5 V6 Tdi auto, front wheel drive.

Is that normal wear for an A6 or is the tracking, toe or camber could be out?

Cheers
