Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Continental Premium Contact 6 225-45-17- Audi A4 1.9 TDI 15,000 miles March 21, 2023
Very good tire for average speed driving and extreme driving, not much comfort, but it has an excellent grip on wet and dry, good performance for braking, a little bit noisier than a Michelin.

General Altimax Sport 205-55-15- Audi A4 1.9 TDI 25,000 miles March 21, 2023
This tire is just a good average tire, I have been use 205/55/15 on my audi a4 b5 with 116ps and this tire i doesn't show me some awesome perfromance what and i don't have expected. After 2 years of using the tire is losing their performance for grip on wet and comfort.

Uniroyal RainSport 5 225-55-16- Audi A4 1.9 TDI 12,500 miles January 11, 2022
Very good on dry. Not bad cornering and impeccable handling, the Uniroyal rain sport 5 is consistently great in the wet and in the snow, the tire is a little less convincing when pushing it to the limits but provides sufficient safety

Pirelli P Zero Nero GT 245-40-18- Audi A4 1.9 TDI 12,000 miles September 14, 2021
These tires have been exceptionally poor value, worn to almost within legal limits after 15 months and less than 120000 miles when one had suffered a sidewall failure. Grip has been “ok” in the dry and almost dangerous in the wet, although they were relatively quite and ride quality seemed ok compared to the tires they replaced however the lack of grip, vague feel and extremely poor wear mean I wouldn’t consider buying them again. I am much happier with the (similarly premium prices) tires that have replaced these.

Landsail LS588 UHP 235-40-18- Audi A4 1.9 TDI 20,000 miles May 19, 2021
I've been absolutely amazed by the performance of these tires on my Audi quattro. The grip is excellent even on wet or snowy roads, they handle well and lasted a long time. Brilliant value.

Westlake SA 07 235-45-17- Audi A4 1.9 TDI 500 miles December 12, 2020
These tires came with a set of wheels I bought for my Audi. Absolute HORRIBLE tires, when I put them on I immediately felt negative feedback from them and knew they was rubbish. In the wet pulling away they do nothing but spin unless I pull off very gently, going around islands in the wet can be dangerous because they can and will slide out if going at a steady pace (I had to slow right down on islands). They have a nasty habit of tram lining as well, never really had this problem before but after fitting different tires this issue is non existent again so they definitely tramline on certain surfaces. They are reasonable in the dry but nothing special, they are also fairly quiet. I thought I scored a bargain with these because they had over 4mm of thread but removing them was the best think I did. Removed after sub 500miles

Barum Bravuris 2 205-65-15-W Audi A4 1.9 TDI 15,000 miles October 6, 2020
It's a great tire, i have them form almost 15,000km now, and have most of the rubber, it's a great tire for the price

Kumho Ecsta HS51 205-55-16-V Audi A4 1.9 TDI 9,300 miles May 16, 2020
Tires grip really well in the dry, but in the they feel a bit loose. I had them fitted in a audi a4 and have them for 15k km and they have 4.5 mm letf in them. Overall they are a pretty good tire would totally buy again.

General Altimax 365AW 205-55-16- Audi A4 1.9 TDI 14,000 miles December 23, 2018
I have General 365 tires for over one year and all I can say, they are great tires.
Wet grip is fantastic on wet UK roads, great feedback even if suddenly aquaplaning if you suddenly hit deep puddle. Let's face it if you are going to fast on deep sudden puddles there is no tire which wouldn't struggle with disposing water efficiently. Unfortunately in UK we have lots of rain and deep puddles, especially on countryside.
Most importantly these tires allowing you controlling vehicle even on very wet surfaces.
In winter condition (no snow but temp below 7C) grip is great. You can easy perform quick test of emergency breaking and you'll be very surprised like myself how much actually grip they give you. Very happy.
In 2018 winter-snow condition, I have to say they took me out from even deep snow, where lots cars struggle on summer tires.
Over all highly recommending.
It's wort to add that after 14k miles still 5mm remaining on FWD(front axle) car. I hope they will rich 20k miles which is great for mid size FWD car driven 90% on country roads(accelerating braking).

Kumho Ecsta PS31 225-40-18- Audi A4 1.9 TDI 3 miles April 28, 2018
Have them only 3 months and done about 4000 km.So far so good.like I have 18 inch wheels but comfort it's very good tires are very quiet and comfortable for every day driving.My car is tdi so not going on the track but I think they are not for track because they are little bit to soft compound.
