I only used them in winter for the worst 3 months moutain roads heavy snow, after 2 years they are still very good. Much better snowgrip then i expected, they are a bit harder to push hard because of not great feedback but I would buy again

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 Allroad 3.0 TDI drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Perfect tires for all seasons. On dry and wet they are absolutely brilliant. On snow and ice, you have to be careful, they are not typical winter tires. For an area where there is little snow in winter, this is the best solution if you don't want to buy two sets of tires.
These tires were nice, fun and safe to drive. First two seasons were a blast. Third one rubber got a bit harder and I noticed it on wet road. Will buy them again for new e-tron. Best price / performance ratio. Highly reccomend these tires!
An amazingly comfortable tire, great cushioning for a car weighing 2,000 kg and incredibly quiet. Road properties in winter are fully satisfactory, the car sticks to the road and does not lose traction.
Excellent tire. I'm driving A6 Allroads for the past 10 years (changed 3 cars, 4G facelift being the latest model) and I was always running on Michelin CrossClimate and CrossClimate+. However, newest Michelin CrossClimate2 was just way too expensive, so I decided to give Vredestein a try. And I have to admit that I'm totally satisfied with this tire! Everything runs smooth, I have full control over the car on both dry and wet. When driving through water, Vredestein simply does not do aquaplannung and handles perfectly, while CrossClimate always floated and couldn't handle the aquaplanning properly. The only minor drawback is it's noise that I didn't have on CrossClimate's, but since car has acoustic shielding in windshield, I really don't care. :) Plus, it's always kinda cool to see that 'Giugaro design' marking on the tire. Since there was no snow last season, I have no clue how it performs on snow and ice, but quattro is quattro and I am convinced there will be no problems with it.
Going from the stock OE Asymmetric 2's to these would be a decent step up or so I thought, while the tire is good in general the unbelievable road noise at 60mph+ is horrific and certain surfaces seem to exacerbate the problem. By far the noisiest tire i've every heard, it may be the 20" in conjunction with a harder compound and tread pattern. Apart from this the tire is rock solid performance wise, A6 Allroad 272 is heavy car but these are not phased at all.
Used Audi A6 Allroad bought recently with these tires fitted, 6mm tread depth all round, having covered 800 miles in the three weeks I will without doubt be having these tires off my car as soon as possible. Wet grip is almost non-existent having let go twice in the wet on roundabouts at very moderate speed, they roll under in moderate cornering in the dry, tire pressures are at manufacturer recommended. Cannot comment on wear though comfort, in a straight line, is reasonable. I will not buy in future
Pleased with these tires. Used on a heavy Audi A6 Quattro the fronts are obviously wearing quicker but at this rate I am estimating 15k on fronts to wear indicator and 21k rears. Not used in snow yet but best performance in wet. Slight drift when new in dry but as bedding in they're the best dry grip tires I've used when compared to Michelin, Pirelli and Continental. I would buy again but perhaps go for the all season tires from Avon due to living innorth of Scotland.
Incredible tires! Bought them in October 2015 and I'm still driving them, over 60.000km on Audi A6 Allroad 4x4! Tire wear is fantastic, I can still drive on them for at least 10000km, but I'll buy new set of CrossClimate+ for original dimension (245/45/18)...
Dry handling is perfect, on wet surface they behave very good but sometimes they do skid in sharp turns, but that might be because of my heavy foot on powerful 4x4. Snow performance is... well, it drives on snow, which is everything I need... :) Noise ... what noise?
In any case, HEAVY recommendation, especially to Audi A6 drivers!

These have lasted 6 years of mixed motoring throughout typically mixed Cornish weather, and they would be continuing if it weren't for the fact that sunshine does cause outer wall deterioration to any tire . . It sits out on my driveway.
So, I will be getting another set, as the only problem I did have within the first week of purchase an inner wall bulged . . Avon replaced it.
I feel reassuringly safe with these on my big heavy Allroad, particularly when hitting standing water on our country roads.
Despite its official noise rating, I find cabin intrusion minimal, mainly due to poor roads maintenance, and of the low frequency type, not high irritating whine.
I intend following my local garage advice of applying tire protection from month 1.
My journeys vary from pebble beach, fields, country lanes and major highways . . Good for a Quattro, very pleased with this product!
