Best Tyres for the Audi A3 Sedan (8V) 1.4 TFSI

My Audi A 3 came with the Cinturatto P7 as OEM tires. I blew 3 of them because of potholes, so I changed it for the Dragon Sport. My take: Dry: Great Grip and traction, they gives you confidence for spirited driving. They have good braking ability, something I didnot expect because the treadwear is above 400. Wet: they have above average performance in the wet, they were a little below the Cinturatto P7. Still they have good overall performance in the wet. Noise: the noise is ok, noisier than the P7 Cinturatto, but aceptable. Tread: the tire has a hard compound, I drove the car for around 16000 miles and they seem to have mid life. Design: The tread design is assymetric and sporty, the sidewall has a Dragon with the letters which it looks cool. Conclusion: It is a great aftermarket sporty tire, it handles well in wet and dry, stiff sidewall which helps with the handling and the price is just above midrange tires but with Pirelli premium quality. And by the way it is a UHP Tire, not a extreme neither max performance tire.

Positives: Handling, high comfort against pot holes, low rolling resistance, price
Negatives: High noise level even in slow speeds, bumpy on high speeds
I do not recommend unless you have tight budget
A3 Sedan (8V) 1.0 TFSI

bought this tyre on march this year driving on daily use only lasted for 5 months clocked almost 20,000km. the tyres suprisingly good on dry road espicially during the hot day in SEA region its super grip and it feel like glued to the road, can exit the corner confident in high speed. it amazingly grip during wet for the first 3 months since the treadwear worn out too quickly. the tyre is slightly expansive but it worth buy it and would recomended for spirited driver or trackday.

the previous tyre from factory Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season.
