audi A6 Tire Review Highlights

This is a follow-up review to the previous latest review of these tires on the Audi A6 quattro with 22-23k miles to add on things I failed to mention. I have recently switched to the CrossClimate2 due to end of life of the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 with about 23k spirited miles.
-Dry Grip: I understeered more than I oversteered, in fact I never recall ever oversteering when quickly accelerating and turning or cornering at high speeds I would give a 9/10. Never had issues with braking, always stopped quickly when needed would give it an 8.5/10.
-Wet Grip: With fully wet roads pouring down rain, I always felt in control. Going around corners at high speeds 60+ mph, I felt the car lean into the corner and understeered through it no issues, 9/10. Wet and Dry performance was pretty similar for me in handling as well as braking, 9/10.
-Wear: Do not buy if you don't want to change out tires often, albeit it depends how much you drive of course. These lasted me 22k-23k miles, were very smooth, and were very loud, 3/10. Dry and wet traction did deteriorate, but not very drastic. I rotated tires every 5k miles and did alignments at 10k miles.
-Comfort: While I do not have too much of experience with different tires in comfort, these seemed alright enough. Not harsh ride, not loud.
-Snow Grip: Last snow season I had, about maybe 18k miles on the tire, it was adequate enough to get me to point a to b. I had a combination of oversteer and understeer, but primarily understeered more, the bad kind on fully covered roads with sometimes slush. When making 90 degree turns, I often understeered and kept going straight more than turning into the corner. I'm unable to turn off traction fully on my car which doesn't help sometimes, only 1 layer of TC of the 3. Sometimes it would oversteer when turning, which was actually more controllable than the understeer in more cases than not. Though, it was pretty predictable and took a little bit to regain traction at times. Going in straight lines, you will get pulled into the shoulder of the road if you're not careful. I can handle high speeds going straight in fully covered highway of light snow, about 60-70mph, your mileage will vary a lot though. Snow handling is about a 5/10 for me. Braking was fine, always practice earlier braking and give people enough space and you should be good, 6.5/10.
-Ice Grip: Finally, the only ice I was able to encounter was black ice. Braking was around a 5/10. Driving through it in a straight line on a highway around 50-60mph, it was a wavy ride, it wanted to slip out but didn't. I had confidence, however, that I would not slip out. Don't recommend it of course, I'm a crazy driver.
-Dry Grip: I understeered more than I oversteered, in fact I never recall ever oversteering when quickly accelerating and turning or cornering at high speeds I would give a 9/10. Never had issues with braking, always stopped quickly when needed would give it an 8.5/10.

I have them on my 2004 Audi A6 , and yes i will buy them again good all round tire, although it is not a premium name brand i think the Chinees did do a good product here...........

Dry grip was great, I could often push the limits of my car with no issues. Wet grip seemed very similar to the dry grip. Tires had a little noise but it's not bad. The wear isn't that great, I have about 22k-23k miles on the tires and they look smooth. Probably 5k-10k miles left in them. Deep snow wasn't that great, took a minute for me to get out of a situation I purposefully put myself in, probably about 5in of snow. Light snow was better, I pushed my vehicle to the limits on the highway with a fully covered road, about 67mph. It wanted to slip out but my traction control didn't let it and kept straight the whole way. If you lose control like I purposefully did on a fully covered snow road, I was able to recover fine, took about 10s to with my car pointing about 2oclock left and right. For winter, I firmly recommend a better tire, like a winter tire. For every season, an all weather tire. I wouldn't buy these again due to the snow and abysmal treadlife.

I drove a set of these tires for 3 years in Eastern Europe with moderate weather, mild winters without snow, and hot, dry summers. I used them for about 3 years during which I put 75k km on them, mainly used outside the city on the daily commute of 150 km, at moderate speeds. I rotated them at 15k km between the front and rear axles. Now they have reached the first wear witness, the 3 mm. Theoretically and legally they can still be used but I will replace them. I can say that they are good to very good tires, I am on my first set of all season tires and I am delighted with their performance in any weather. On dry and wet roads, the tires behave very well, they offer a greater sense of safety and for me the longer braking distance in case of emergency braking was not a problem because I have a preventive driving style. The braking system of the Audi A6 is very good and strong. The tires are quiet when running and the degree of comfort when running is premium. In cold weather the tires have the same safety feed back, they are manoeuvrable. There was no need for emergency brake. I didn't use them in the snow because there was no snow. Conclusion: Safe, comfortable tires, premium product from Dunlop. I will definitely continue with Dunlop. I highly recommend it to drivers who want a premium tire but who know how to drive cars and don't brake at the last minute. Ideal for areas where winter is more like late autumn.

I had these tires fitted last October, and testing them out in the Canadian winter, I've got to say there's no fear driving with these on snow. I can't comment on the wear of these tires as I just got them, but they seem to be doing fine.
My impression is that these tires are definitely worth the extra dollar. I say this coming off a set of Hankook I'cept Evos, which were absolutely terrible with road noise. These tires are dead silent compared to that.
Dry grip is good, there is a little bit of vibration, but that could easily be my rims. Wet grip is excellent, never had any problems in the rain with hydroplaning. My car does have four wheel drive, which could be a contributing factor, so keep that in mind.
Excellent tire, excellent drive, worth the extra money.

Have driven around 4,000 km with these tires, excellent dry and wet grip. Very good handling and solid braking but let's remember they aren't premium. Overall I am very satisfied with this Tire, my comment is that when cornering harder they do feel a bit flimsy, but are very predictable. When going over bumps or specially dents you can feel these are overall very soft. Mine are XL. Not a heavy solid tire, rather more a well made light tire. Visually they browned a bit faster than I would like but I am still very satisfied! Mine came from the newest factory in Portugal just a few months after opening it!

my mechanic strongly insisted about these tires. 5000 miles and so far they have very good grip both in dry and wet roads. very good handling and feedback. But they are a little noisy and not very comfort. (well I guess you can not have everything with 290 euros)

Do not buy these, or probably any other Nokian summer tires either. They suck, mine wore completely out after 25.000 km, one sidewall exploded without any reason while driving on the highway. Wheel-alignment was checked 2 times during the two seasons I had them as I could not understand how fast they were wearing out, no adjustments needed. Pressure definitely as should have been. Awful tires, hard, noisy, uncomfortable, constantly seeking in one direction or another. Pure waste of money. Do not trust any reviews by any magazine either regarding Nokian tires, Nokian were cought cheating on tire-tests two years back, supplying "special" tires for all tests and had been doing it for atleast 14 years. Waste of money. Absolutely not a premium or even close to a mid-class tire, I imagine Chinese brands make much better tires. I switched to Tigars (Serbian Michelin budget -tires) and they are nothing short of amazing good at half the price compared to these wastes of rubber-compound. AVOID A ALL COST!

Just bought these, and they feel AMAZING compared to Nokian Hakka Green tires. It's like a new car in the most positive of ways. Two years ago I bought Nokian Hakka Green tires as Nokian tires generally win all tire tests in Finland (by the magazine Tekniikan Maailma) as Nokian is a Finnish brand (with production in Russia also, and noteworthy that Nokian actually got caught cheating in tire-tests a few years ago, they had been cheating for atleast 14 years, ). I thought i bought a premium tire and did not know better until I got the Tigars for half the price. The Nokian tires lasted barely two seasons and 25.000km, One tires side-wall exploded without any reason and that's when I decided for something else. The Nokias also needed constant input to the steering-wheel between 80-120 kph, felt really, really hard in all bumps and were generally the worst tires Iv'e ever had. Now, the Tigars! Amazing comfort, car wants to go straight on the highway, no need for adjusting the steering back and forth, the noise-level is much less annoying and I am quite certtian they will last at least double the milage. And this is half the price, so 4 times better tire then Nokian. HIGHLY recommended!!! And P.S. AVOID Nokian Tires at ALL cost, they are wors then the worst Chinese tires although they are four times the price.

Awesome tire! Performs amazing in the dry and really good in the wet. No complains whatsoever especially for the price i got them. They were 40 pounds each so 160 for the set. Insane tire for the price.
