Audi 3.2 A3 Tires

3 words; Sporty Fun Sticky Loving the tire so far, it sticks to the road like nothing I've seen so far..

Good tires, impressed with how they stick

I have these tires on only because they came with the car when I bought it. Even with four wheel drive the front tires (Avon zv5) manage to slip on bends at speeds even my 2008 mondeo hatchback could get around with ease. How ever the rubber compound in the Avons are to hard in a budgety attemp to prolong longetivity and greater fuel economy. Vastly sacrificing grip on even dry roads. Ever thought you could recieve grande under steer in an Audi quattro( infamous on grip)? Buy Avons. Yes I know they are mid range. But so are falkens, vredestiens and lots more.... Therefore these should be demoted to budget, along with other tires that have fashionable patterns instead of grippy tread. Apologies for the bluntness of my review but is needed to persuade people to go for actual mid range or better, premium.

Very good sports tire, soft and tacky. But I think they're too soft and suffer with the V6 3.2 engine weight over them. I beat they'd be very on the back, just need to find these with a very slightly tougher rubber for the front.

I bought a full set of these after knowing how good the other vredestein range has been on my previous cars. They gave absolute grip in absolute all conditions. Under heavy breaking they do sound like they are going to lock at anytime (like wheel bearings) but never done. Supprised by how good these were in the snow after dropping the tire pressures to 25psi alround.
These tires are ultimate performance tires and I used to drive like I stole the car but 7000 miles for rears and 10000 for fronts was a bit excessive. I really don't think other types would have lasted longer. Even with my execessive wear I would not use anything else.

Good overall grip wet and dry, car feels very neutral
Consistent wear all round would buy again if I had the money that's the one thing that is off putting ?100 a tire.

I brought a set of these and from the word go was unhappy with the noise. After a few thousand miles i started to get a pulsing road noise and eventually took the car to Audi suspecting a UJ or something. Audi said both front tires were badly misshapen !! after just 4000 miles. Driving this car now is like being back in an Army Land rover as the tires pulse at 50mph and resonate right through the car. Worst tires i have ever had !
