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.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 225-40-18-W Audi A6 Avant 2.7T Quattro 3,000 miles March 21, 2017
I have an Audi A6 Avant Quattro, and these tires seem to wear fairly quickly compared to my previous experience of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym.2. For a premium tire, there is quite a lot of road noise from them, but grip is very good in all conditions. However, when it comes to the next replacement set, I will be going back to the Goodyear's as they are £25 a corner cheaper, quieter, better fuel economy and last much longer than PS3's. For anyone with Quattro / 4WD you need to ensure you have the same on each corner / front and back to ensure the best overall handling, plus a proper 4-wheel alignment.

Continental Premium Contact 5 235-55-17- Audi A6 Avant 2.7T Quattro 400 miles June 20, 2016
Very noisy at temperatures below +15C. Tires started to squeak at 75 km/h (46 mp/h) in an not hard turn at +28C in dry conditions and that was really surprising. In wet (rain) lost contact on braking for 2 seconds - really scarry. Bought them because of the reviews here. Really dissapointed, ok it's not a sporty tire but where is premium class - it's noisy even when warm!

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 245-40-18-W Audi A6 Avant 2.7T Quattro 10,000 miles May 19, 2013
Amazing grip and cornering no matter if it's wet or dry. If performance with safety is your concern, this tire will take some beating.

Nokian eNTYRE 225-55-16- Audi A6 Avant 2.7T Quattro 1,000 miles October 28, 2011
I have just completed an entire summer of driving on the eNTYRE. BACKGROUND: I have driven Audi A6' for the past 11 years, and in that time, I've tried several popular summer performance tires and have always used Nokian WR Snow tires.

Now that I've put about 1,000 miles on the eNTires in dry summer driving, I'm very interested to discover how they will handle in winter driving conditions.

To my pleasant suprise, I found that eNTYRES handled spirited driving on dry surfaces as well as any of the "performance" tires I have ever had on the A6 Quattros. (The primary difference is that the eNTYRE is not speed rated as high as the other performance tires.)

I have taken sharp 'S' curves at 75 MPH with zero slippage and in fact, of all the tires I've had, I would say that these tires best compliment my all-wheel drive Audi. And yes, you absolutely can feel the difference in the 'low rolling resistance' design. It comes across as sort of a 'tighter' roll, although these tires also seem to absorb more surface imperfections / cracks, expansion joints etc.

Snowy weather is fast approaching and they tell us that it will be a bad weather winter. I am looking forward to discovering how the eNTYREs will perform on snow and ice. I may use them up until the Montana USA snow and ice gets to a certain point, then change to my Nokian WR's -- which are nothing short of world-class snow tires.

Hopefully, I'll be able to keep the eNTYREs on all winter.

I think I may have just found the only tire I will ever need to put on my Audi. It promises to be an all-purpose, all-weather, all-class tire. With the possible exception of ultra high performance. But I'm sort of over that anyway! ;

Continental WinterContact TS830 215-55-16-H Audi A6 Avant 2.7T Quattro 4,000 miles March 26, 2011
These are extraordinary tires. I stuck them on my A6 Quattro at the beginning of the snowy weather in Southern England. The change in grip was simply astonishing. I could almost drive completely normally in snowy/icy conditions with virtually no loss of grip. Driving up steep hills covered in snow was not a problem, much to the amazement of other road users who thought I had snow chains on.

As the weather warms up the car is starting to lose its tight grip on the road, but that is to be expected. About to swap for summer tires (lets hope the snow stays away - you never know).

Bring on next winter - these seem to be able to handle anything the British weather can throw at them - a joy to drive on!
