Fine in the dry, reasonably quiet.
Cannot trust them in the wet.

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.

What Audi A6 S line drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
2014 Audi A6 Avant: After having the OEM Goodyear's for many years... Thought I'd give these a try. Excellent tire. Wear a bit quicker but they're half the price. Highly recommended.
I have never seen anything like this......absolute trash!!!!!!Yes after 25000km there was maybe 1-2 mm on the tree.However there were large bubbles on the inside of the tires which I have never seen..It wasnt just a bad wheel......It happened to all 4.....one wheel had a bubble almost the size of your fist.......
Thank god it didn't pop when my family were in it.......May take this matter legal!!!!!!
I have used these tires on my 523i F10, then I sold the car and on my audi I swapped the original tires to the michelin Ps4. The first 1000km wasn't very good on the ps4, however after that they grip was really good. Even better in the rain. It felt really good in the corners but unlike the pzeros. But the ps4's life span was not good. After 20k km it started peeling and I didn't have the confidence to drive with them. So I swapped to a set of dragon sport. Immediately notice them improvement in comfort. It felt like a comfortable touring tire, less road noise but with steering response and no float like touring tires. Comparing to the ps4, I would say maybe a 10% reduction in sporty feel but more comfortable and these tire last longer than the ps4. I used them around 35k km on my previous car. I would I buy them again, yes unless the pzero's are on discount
Fitted to an Audi A6 2.7 tdi. Both wet and dry grip good, slight noisy, but no real problem.
This car does 800 business miles per week and is driven in a reasonable manner, but not slowly.
The biggest advantage with these tires is excellent wear considering the high mileage.

Replaced factory standard Bridgestone s001 on my a6 s-line .With the zsr exactly the same performance as the premium brand So impressed with these tires I even fitted then to my daughters Mercedes. That is how much confidence I have in this brand would definitely buy again
Very hard wearing tire but very average.
The road noise is so loud when they wear off.
Personally i dont like these.

Use these under a audi A6 2,4 v6 sline. Very very good tire.... Dry grip is suberb! Wet is also good. Good feedback and quiet tire. Also the price is very good compaired with premium brands. Could not notice any negative comments about this tire. Greetings from the Netherlands
Replaced the Goodyear's who wear worn for a new set of vorti's on the front.
Great tire! Good feedback en low noise. Tires gives a save feeling on wet and dry. Cheap in comparing with other first class brands.

bought these are they are on the only option for all season tires in my size. as they came 4th in the latest all season tire test I thought they would be really quite good. not had any snow to test, but cold weather they seem very capable (at times been throwing it around pretty good) and down to -2 degrees (no snow/rain) they've stuck like glue.
unfortunately wet performance isn't great. better than my bridgestones for aquaplaning resistance but not as good as I would expect.
had to drive at 50mph today on the motorway to avoid running off the road in light slush.
fine if you dont want to drive at the speed limit in moderate weather, but if you want performance all season avoid.
would buy again because I don't really need performance tires and they are only ones in my size.
