Best Tires for the Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI S Line 140bhp

When I first fitted these tires there was a night and day difference in terms of the performance from the Pirelli PZeros and the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 that were on the car the previous two times. Graip in dry - brilliant, wet - capable, handling - precise. Wear on the front - not that great at all. I kept them on probably longer than I should have due to how much it cost me for all 4 in one hit but the fronts wore way too fast. Rears are still going but I dread to think if I was driving a Quattro how many times I would have changed them if I stuck with them. Due to wear, I think I would try something else. May be Michelins if I can find them at a good price

After buying tires which would many would class as 'ditch finders' for a while (and coming to realise that cheap tires are a false economy) I decided to give the Avon ZZ5's a whirl after reading good reviews.

I had them fitted about a week ago so they're not anywhere close to being bedded-in properly and as a result I can't comment on how they're going to wear, but I can say that my car (an Audi A4 S-Line) is noticeably smoother and more comfortable than it's ever felt before in the 5 years I've owned it. The grip from these tires in the dry is incredible, so I can corner with confidence. In the wet they felt a little slippery but I'm chalking that down to the tires being brand new so I'm not marking them down for that. The amount of road noise that they transmit through to the cabin is considerably quieter than my previous tires, despite them being low-profile tires on big wheels. I'm seriously impressed!

Would I buy these again? Damn right I would - I recommend you do, too!

A budget priced tire, but essentially a re-branded Goodyear Asymmetric 2 by all accounts. Had on for approx 500 miles now, and have to say im quite impressed. Fitted two on the front of my Audi A4 Avant S-line TDI, and they cope pretty well with the mountains of torque this car generates. Handling is as good as the previous Continentals i had on the front, and seem to offer better wet weather grip and braking. I expect that they are a reasonably soft compound based on the high wet grip, so time will tell to see how long they last.
