Best Tires for the Audi A4 2.0 TDi 170 S Line

Had these tires on when I changed my car, so I can't tell how long they have lasted, but these are probably the best tires I've ever had. At least as good as Michelin PS4 on dry, and even better in wet. Maybe just a bit noisy, and wears little faster than Michelin.

Bought these as a higher end budget/low mid range tire. Paid £220 fitted for a pair. I’m coming from a set of Hankooks which lasted me around 5 years and went with the Nankangs this time as I’m sure this is roughly what I paid for the Hankooks back in 2018. Hankooks now up to £150+ so time to try something different.

Only been on the car around a months and my initial thoughts are it’s a decent tire.

Road noise is slightly greater than the Hankooks, however I would add that the old tires were on the limit. I assume any new tire with full tread will make slightly more noise than an almost bald tire?

I did also notice that the tire itself, despite being the same 255 width as the Hankooks, is slightly narrower, leaving the rim marginally more exposed and offering less protection. Shouldn’t be a big deal, but time will tell if this leads to more stone chips on the wheels which were recently powder coated.

Grip in the dry absolutely fine. No noticeable difference in wet grip between these and the Hankooks. In the first week of having these fitted we had freezing conditions and I never had any shakey moments. I’ll add that in’s a sensible driver with the odd spirited burst when situation/conditions allow.

I think for a daily driver on normal roads, this tire will serve you absolutely fine. Drive to the conditions and I don’t see you finding a ditch any time soon, certainly not because of the tires.

I only do around 4/5 thousand miles a year so I’ll be hoping to see between 4 and 5 years out of these but time will tell.

Very solid tire, value for money is hard to beat at the moment.
Tire performs very well, especially amazingly on wet roads, despite the 255 width there is no slipping, aquaplaning or spinning tires. I switched straight from Fulda Sport summer tires to this model. Comfort and actually driving behavior are better than its predecessor. I couldn't believe it myself.
At first the tires were extremely loud, so I even considered complaining. I like that the tires simply tend to sawtooth.
Luckily the noise disappeared completely after about 2000km.
In winter the tire behaves like an average winter tire. Not special but not bad either.

Its a terrible tire but its cheap. The tire overall has poor feedback, sub standard grip in the dry and poor grip in the wet. There is sufficient squeaking to alert you when your near the limit but I haven't pushed it much further. When the tire is under load you will feel the sidewall deform and squidge. It wears incredibly poorly and has lasted me 9,000 miles of mostly motorway and b road driving. The tire is soft, comfortable and quiet on the motorway. I thank the previous dealer for fitting such poor tires and making me appreciate quality tires.

Good as a replacement for real winter tires in normal European climates. No contender against real summer tires in dry&wet handling characteristics. Would buy them again, but not as an all-season tire, only driving them in the winter.

I had replaces all 4 tires (Pirelli Cinturato p7) of my Audi A4 its been a year and few month as this was the preferred tire from Audi Bangalore Service center. All 4 tires have bulges on side wall, one tire even got bulge of size "chicken egg" . Its only driver for 12K kilometer in bangalore City only. After the new tire change I mostly always go with my wife and kid who dont allow me to drive beyond a 100kmph or speeding, No long journey just a city rides only with that it got so much worse un-usable .

Had these on my new Audi A4 - only a 2L TDI FWD, but replaced front set after 14000 miles. 11000 miles later with some Pirelli P-Zeros and the same! Still have the original set of Continentals on the rear, though these need replacing asap!

Got them fitted right before a 150km long drive thru severe snow storm down from 350m above sea to 1100m. Temperatures ranged from 0°C to -5°C. Dry road to wet road to sludge to snow covered roads. What definitely stands out is snow traction. Very smooth running and extremely quiet in the first 500km. Hope they will stay like that. Only one negative point: Fresh, they only have 7mm thread depth. Not good in countries with a legal requirement of 4mm in winter conditions.

I switched to these tires after purchasing an audi a4 black edition. The car originally came with cheap jinju tires which where awful! Spinning in the wet. Under steering in the wet and abs kicking in on the motorway. These tires are night and day difference. I have never had any issues with under steering. They brake very well in the wet and dry. I have full confidence in these tires after experiencing the quality at the other end of the spectrum. They are slightly noisy but that is a small gripe for the sure footed stability they provide. I will be purchasing again.
