What Audi A3 TDI SLine Quattro 181bhp drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Ich habe diese Reifen in der Spezifikation 225/40/18/y an meinem neuen 2013er Audi A3 TDI Quattro mit 183 PS, ausgebaut zu 233 PS, montiert. Die serienmäßigen Reifen waren Continental Sportcontact 3 – die ich auf vielen Untergründen als zu laut empfand, und bei Nässe als komplett unvorhersehbar. Diese Reifen hielten bis 25.000 km und verbrauchten etwa 5,6l auf 100 km.
Jetzt bin ich 10.000 Kilometer mit dem Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 gefahren und konstatiere eine nicht zu verachtende Senkung auf 5,1 Liter und kann ohne Zweifel sagen, dass das gefällige und Vertrauen erweckende Fahrgefühl dieses Reifens auf löchrigen und unebenen Straßen ein damals schon zufriedenstellendes Auto in einen absoluten Traum verwandelt hat! Ehrlich, wenn ihr einen Audi Quattro (2013 aufwärts) habt, ist das definitiv der einzige Reifen, den ihr in die Nähe eures Wagens lassen solltet. Ich kann nichts über andere Autos sagen, aber beim A3 trifft dieser Reifen einfach den Nagel auf den Kopf und passt zum Charakter des Fahrzeugs.

J'ai monté ces pneus en 225/40/18/y adaptés à ma nouvelle 2013 181bhp quattro Audi A3 TDI qui a été poussée jusqu'à 230 ch. Les pneus d'origine étaient des Contintental SPORTCONTACT 3 - que je trouvais bruyants sur de nombreuses surfaces et sur le mouillé complètement imprévisible. ces pneus ont duré 16.000 kms et avaient une consommation de environ 42mpg.
J'ai fait maintenant 10000 k,s sur le Eagle F1 assymétrique 2 et j'ai remarqué une augmentation non négligeable à 46mpg et je peux dire sans aucun doute que sur les nids de poule et les routes inégales, la souplesse de sensation, la conformité et le sentiment de confiance de ce pneu ont transformé une voiture déjà à l'aise en un rêve absolu! Sans aucun doute si vous avez une Audi Quattro (de 2013et après) c'est certainement le seul pneu que vous devez envisager de placer sur votre véhicule. Je ne sais pas pour les autres voitures, mais pour l'A3 ce pneu est absolument parfait et convient au caractère de la voiture.

I made the change from Continental CSC5s to Davanti DX640s. Impressions after 4,000 miles, very impressed! Excellent wet grip, able to maintain road grip without wheel spinning and traction control kicking in which is brilliant considering the amount of rain we have had this winter! After giving the tires a good bedding in, they handle very well in dry conditions. Can't fault the grip and cornering even with power down. Very impressed, quiet tire with brilliant performance in both the wet and dry. Will definitely buy again!
Had these on Audi A3 when I bought it, to be fair when dry and sunny no problem car handled like a dream, slightest bit of rain or damp road from bit of fog, they are lethal, front end slid across a mcdonalds car park at 5mph, I drive quite fast when dry but when it's wet I didn't dare top 60 going straight and on roundabouts and slight bends slowed to a crawl, I agree with other reviews, these tires should be banned before they kill someone, although they probably already have, I'd bet a lot of these accidents in the rain a good few have these tires on, since replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport 3, can't believe someone on here with a 3 liter jag recommends them, ignore recommendation, bloke is an idiot
I fitted these tires in 225/40/18/y spec to my new shape 2013 Audi A3 TDI quattro 181bhp which has been chipped up to 230bhp. the stock tires were Contintental Sportcontact 3 - which I found were loud on many surfaces and in the wet completely unpredictable. these tires lasted to 16,000 and returned about 42mpg.
I have now done 10k on the Eagle F1 assymetric 2's and have noticed a not insignificant rise to 46mpg and can say without a doubt on pothole and uneven roads the supple, compliant and confidence inspriring feel of this tire has turned an already confident car into an absolute dream! hands down if you have an Audi Quattro (2013 onward) this is definitely the only tire you will ever want to be considering placing on your vehicle. i dont know about other cars but for the A3 this tire absolutely nails it and suits the character of the car.
