Im reviewing these tires as alot of people review tires with only minimal miles driven. I have a Audi A6 Avant 2.0 tdi Quattro. The tires have done their job well. Dry driving and braking are very good as you would expect. A noise level of 70 db wasn't noticable and is around the average these days. Driving in the wet and anti aquaplanning is exemplory down to around 3mm of tire tread.
My driving style isn't agressive but i do carry some speed into corners and late brake more than possibly the average user. I tend to try to flatren off corners and left the car slow during a corner and increase speed gradually at an apex, ( just to give an indication of driving style with mileage).
I have around 2.4 mm tread left on the front left and 3.1 tread on the front right, after 19000 miles of mixed motorway and normal road use. It's around this point, that these tires rapidly drop off on aquaplanning in very wet condition on motorways. I would think so too would the very wet braking. On slower road use ( below 60mph), the car still handles well and grips well in most conditions. I have ordered the newer Turanza 6 at this tire wear point, as I was very impressed by the older T005 through the life of these tires. I would definately recommend these tires for a confident, predictable & reliable premium tire in all conditions.
