Best Tires for the Audi 2.7 TDi S Line Saloon

Grip in both dry and wet is simply amazing. Steering response and precision are not great, and that is putting it mildly, both of those are due to a very soft side wall, but you will have a hard time finding a tire that grips more than the evo3 (when the steerig lock is big enough to make it grip). Inspite of the lackluster responsivenes and feedback, it is really easy to drive at the limit as the tire is very forgiving to driver errors.

While the wet grip is very good, the tire does tend to aquaplane a lot sooner than similar tires from other manufacturers. This is probably the quietest tire I have ever driven. Somehow this tire eats up smaller bumps as if you are riding on air, but is terrible at handling bigger bumps. So far I also observed a surprising resistance to punctures displayed by this tire, but this seems to be one of the most often overlooked achievements of most premium manufacturers in the last 10 years.

Seemed like a great value midrange tire initially, but wore out very quickly. All 4 where put on with in a month of each other and only last 12.000s on the front. Maybe 30% left on rears. , while the fronts needed replacing. So I've replaced them all for Dunlop sportmax GTs. Only £10 more per tire.

Dont believe the negative reviews. Ive owned my a6 since new firstly running on its factory Continentals then Khumos and Avons .The Acceleras are as good as the others ive fitted , the only difference is they are much cheaper. Ive just fitted my 3rd set on the front. There are no issues with wet grip .The people who complain about them need to learn to drive properly and keep tires inflated to the correct pressure.

I've had Goodyear F1s XL on the front of the car for the last 22K and they have finally worn to
