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 A4 3.0 liter TDI S Line Quattro drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Found them to have excellent grip on the wet and dry. Felt confident driving at speed when overtaking.
Great tires in day to day use, smooth, low road noise, great road feel, did not push them too hard... only one problem, too soft!
I guess you can say it is easy to make a great tire if you make a soft compound?
On my A4 only got 12k miles from a set! and I look after my tires, the OE Hankook tires lasted much longer 25k

Never done a tire review before, but fitted these Michelin Pilot Sort 4 245/40 ZR18 to my 2012 Audi A4 Avant 3.0 tdi quattro, about 18 months and 10,000miles ago. Still plenty of tread ( 4mm ) but oh dear the noise of them now is terrible.It sounds like a dodgy wheel bearing, but my garage have told me that all tires have stepped on the inner edge ( rub smooth one way and rough in the opposite direction )
The tires have performed fine prior to this occurring.
Disappointing and I am now considering to either live with it ,or change to possibly the continental contacts.
I would be interested to know of anyone out there has had a similar issue.

great tire lots of feedback and never feel hard worked no matter how hard you push them,
as of today they have been on for 1 year and ive done 13,900 miles, ive also turned these
tires twice in the past year, so wear rate is no issue and still legal,

I use these tires for 10000 km now. On dry they have average grip, but if at curve you drive with more speed they lose grip very rapid and the control is hard. Bad tire.
Now just about to buy my fourth set of these tires (on two different cars, Audi A4 3.0 TDI Avant and a Audi TT 3.2 V6(both Quattros). Fantastic value for money even on performance cars like these two. OK they arent as good as Michelin PS3's or Bridgetones that I used before but they are now costing me under £200 for 4 inc carriage (less than half what I can Buy the Michelins for). They are a bit "squidgy" on turn in but improve once they have done a few 100 miles. The latest tread pattern has much wider grooves than the original ones and I find wet weather performance is excellant. I I thought this might be at the expense of more tread wear but the last set did nearly 17k miles on the A4. I dont think you can ask for more than that?
Distinctive tread pattern,superb handling in wet,sticks to the road like glue,far better than Continental as originally fitted,slightly noisier but not a problem.Tread design seems to pick up a lot of stones in tread and 2 punctures in same tire in first 3 weeks since fitting but no doubt just down to bad luck.To early to comment on wear but recommended by my local tire dealer who says all his staff( him included) have them on their cars.Mid price tire but top quality tire.
Drive them on Audi A4 3.0 quattro - last winter they performed perfectly. Tried to find a road to make them loose tracktion - I did not. On ice also very good, lost tracksion just for a bit once... The ride is smooth (the car is s-line, suspention is stiffer than ususal) low noise, I could not say about the wear, but no visual signs of such... Did not like much the price 450 Euro for a set of 4 tires. But costs every cent. Recommend!
the best tires ive ever had. recently purchased an a4 quattro 3.0tdi and it would under-steer like no other, i had rubbish auto-grip on the front and pirelli pzero nero on back. i couldn't handle the grip i would lose so i purchased these ps4 and definitely the best decision ive made. car can handles like no other in dry and feels exactly the same in soaking wet. i can throw the car round sharp bends like never before. you can never lose control of the car when youve got these on the wheels.
a lot more comfortable than previous tires, and i have tires pumped to 40 psi as the car recommends and the car doesnt feel like it has soft sidewalls any more.
brilliant tires and if you are hesitating like i was, honestly go for it, you will love them
