Audi Q5 Tire Review Highlights
Excellent snow and ice traction, effortless driving through 10+ cm of fresh snow.

Comfortable, quiet, plenty of grip.

I did not know what to expect from these tires when I bought them, as there were almost no tests and reviews. I am happy to report, that there are no unpleasant surprises with them! Tires grips well both dry and wet, very good road comfort, low rolling resistance, noise comfort is average - depends on the surface and I believe, they got a bit noisier with the wear, but they are not load. Special mention to the rim protection - it is superb! Saved my rims a couple of times from the scratches. Tires does not have a character to them, but they do what you want them to do. Overall, a very good touring tire. After 10000kms and one season, fronts are down to 6.0 mm, rears are at 6.7 mm. With tire rotation, they should have a decent lifespan.
P.S. Special mention to tire width - I did not measure them, but at a glance, my 255 section Firestone's don't look wider than my 235 winter Nokians...

Had to change my Audi q5 tires after 24000 miles. Not great longevity. Apart from that I had no problems and replaced them with the same new tire.

A tire that inspires great confidence on dry roads, with good durability. Excellent for SUVs. I've had Continentals before, but I prefer Michelin. I've been using them for 20 years on my X3, X5, and Q5.

Actually I have Michelin Primacy 4 235/55 R19 105W XL MO
+ rim protector (at 8 inch wheel no need to worry about scratching the disks)
+ quiet at good road
+ not floaty at hot weather
+ soft but strong sidewall
++ fuel consumption on my dashboard
++ treadwear 15000 km/per 1 mm
- I don't want to drive fast on a wet road at 2 tons car (previously had Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 it is mush more better, just another level on a wet road)
- price of a new set

These were the tires that were fitted with my new Audi 2018 Q5 by the dealer. I have driven them for 70.000km over 8 years without a problem, in a mix of city and highway (in Belgium where it rains a lot). I have also driven them in winter conditions and a bit of offroad. I have never had any problems, so I have to say they performed well for my application until their end of life.

This is a soft compound winter tire, so my scores are reflecting it. It is designed mainly for roads covered in snow and ice and boy, it sure does deliver on these surfaces! Loads of grip on winter roads - braking on ice felt like a studded tire from a couple generations ago! Very safe and predictable on winter roads - never had any grip issues with these tires. Of course, it lacks grip on dry and wet roads, but if you drive without a rush, you will not have any problems. I have Michelin X-ice Snow fitted on my second car and they feel softer on dry surfaces and I have less confidence in them to push the carComfortable and quiet tire although, when temperature goes above +5 C, it gets loud and grip drops significantly. I have covered 5000 kms on them and no signs of noticeable wear so far. Very happy with these tires, considering what these tires are designed for.

I’ve driven two full sets of Pirelli Scorpion Verde 255/45 R20 AO on my Audi Q5 (FY) since June 2024.
The first set came with the car and was immediately out of round, causing noticeable vibration. Hunter Road Force testing confirmed the tires could not be corrected.
I then purchased a new, identical set, hoping to fix the problem – but only two out of four tires were matchable. The others also had excessive radial force variation (RFV). The car continued to suffer from vibration issues, despite proper installation and balancing.
After more than four months, Pirelli now offered a credit for just two tires – despite my experience with two complete sets. For a premium product with AO OEM approval, this is very disappointing.
I will not buy this tire again.

Good: dry grip, wet grip, snow grip, comfort
Wear - above 7000 km by 1 mm of tread
Disappointed with tire width: it she should be 235, but actually 210 mm, contact with ground only 195 mm.
Nexen, WTF? Where my 1 inch?
By the way it had rim protector, but it doesn't work on 8 inch wheel, because it 210 mm. I am so angry and disappointed
Do not buy this wheel in 235/55/19

Fit a set of these Turanza T005 last year Sept. 2023 on my Audi Q5 and only have another 1-2000km left for each tire. Swopped tires around on 8000km and not as usual on 10 000km. Currently standing on 15 000km and searching for tires. Really not happy, will not recommend.

Like what others have said these tires cause some odd vibrations at 60+ I’ve even had them road force balanced which helped a bit but due to the high road force you can still feel it.
Would not recommend them.
