These tires are very poor. Wet and dry grip is average at best but their wear rate is atrocious.. I have had these tires on 15 months and approx 8000 miles and they are now at the end of their life. I usually use Continental Premium Contact which normally last me two years and 20,000 miles, but this car came with these tires. I’m not a heavy accelerator and would consider my driving average. £140 for each tire to only last 8000 miles is very poor in my opinion.

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 Avant 2tdi drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
These have only lasted 15k I was expecting more if honest.
Handling was okay, decent it wet but I got a spongy boring feel to these tires especially on corners.
Not sure but I found them just about adequate but nothing special which was a bit disappointing.
The wear on these was a huge disappointment and they hum like mad when they are down to the bars .
I think I am unlucky with them. After 10000 miles start wearing on middle to the point I have to return them to garage and used warranty from Dunlop.Never see something like this before. Tire pressure was checked ones a week and suspension, tracking and alligment is bang on. They wear in 10000 miles to 2.5 mm . Very disappointed . Audi A6 2.0 tdi 190 s tronic
Great tire, specialy on full snow roads. Very quiet, comfortable, good handling. Very big fuel consumption, more than 1 liter per 100km than with summer tires.
Ok tire but quick to wear only 10,000 off front set Bridgestone or Michelin far better wearing
Got these fitted to my A6 Avant FWD winter 2010.
In heavy snow it turned into a snow plough!no trouble at all braking steering and at speed on icy roads not wavered !
got them on front axel of my wifes 307cc and the grip is second to none!
wet paddles slush snow icy roads they grip like nothing i have ever had before.

If you are looking for a tire with a reasonable life expectancy don't buy these.
Managed just 5000 miles on the front and require replaced. Much better with Michelin Primacy Sport.

Very good in dry, far less confidence in wet which gets much worse with wear becoming prone to aquaplaning. Graded as a summer tire but lose grip quickly in cold weather and like many other summer tires useless on snowy surfaces. Became noisy with wear.
I'm a 63 year old sedately driving a 2liter diesel A6 avant. 4 tires changed 8200 miles ago. Front down to legal limit, but rear only worn down 1mm from original 6mm depth.
Usually get 1800 to 22000 from Continentals, Nankan and Maxxis, shall not buy again.
