Audi A3 Tyre Review Highlights
I have been running these tyres now on my Audi A3 for over 2 years, and they have been some of the best tyres I've ever used. They give me confidence when the temperature drops, they've held up really well even when temperatures hit 40 degrees Celsius in 2024, and they did me proud when I went to the Nürburgring. I have pushed these tyres beyond what would reasonably be considered its designed limits and they have never let me down.
Comfort-wise, they certainly are not the best. I can quite often feel the bumps quite hard through the car, but that is the only negative in my opinion. It may well just be down to the tyre size.
I would certainly consider buying these again in the future.

Grippy on dry and wet surfaces. Very good overall refinements over bumps and pots.
As stated, this tyres are too much lean towards comfort side. Some times I missed the engagement that offered previous Potenza Sport… poor road feedback and too much understeer for my tastes when you drive really spireted. But I know that, in life, you can’t have everyting
Only one negative drawback is the loss in roundness around half of tread life due to the different wear from inside to outside, causing some frustrating noise (like a damage wheel bearing) when driving.
The PS5 has covered 41k km. I think I could manage other 5k km before change. Not bad for an UHP tyre.
In conclusione: PS5 worked very well and, probably, they are the perfect package: sporty, safe, comfortable, low wear and fuel economy in one tyre, with almost first place in every aspect is difficult to find in other tyres.

Initial impressions are very good, a bit noisy rolling but absorbing bumps very good. Grip is superb, both wet and dry.

The Audi Only version on a A3 30Tfsi was good for dry conditions, efficient and quiet. BUT it was completely destroyed after 30k km of mild city driving, down to the safety marks and with huge chunks of tread missing. Shame on Audi for using this as an OEM tire.

You crank the wheel, nothing happens, count “one-Mississippi”… then the nose finally wanders toward the apex. It feels like the sidewalls are made of chewing gum.Any half-decent bend at 70 km/h and the body just lolls over like you’re riding waves. Add a mid-corner bump and the whole car pogo-sticks. Zero confidence.Yeah, they’re legal and they roll fine in a straight line, but the moment the road bends or the sky leaks you’re captaining a barge, not driving a car. Save yourself the stress

Mid life update @ 15k miles
Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is awesome I really love these tires, dry grip is unbelievable on summer tire level and gets better as you wear the tire down. Lateral wet grip suffers after some wear just like a summer tire would because there are almost no sipes but the aggressive tread shape prevents any acquaplaning and wet braking/traction is still excellent, just be aware of slightly more understeer (progressive) in the wet as the tires wear down.
I am now at 6/32 so wear is good and even, these tires will last me around 30k miles which is good.
Driving in fresh snow is effortless, the tread design crunches the snow for extra grip and at the same time pushes out any slush/mud away from the tire, considering the width and angle of the grooves even better than a Michelin CrossClimate 2 so excellent tread design. Driving on ice is uncomfortable and a bit scary, I never slid or lost traction so the grip isn't lacking but the tire becomes very stiff and loud when cold (-17C) which makes you think you'll spin even if you don't, it's weird, safe but scary opposed to a softer tire.
Comfort is very good, at first I noticed some small vibrations in the steering wheel which bothered me at higher speeds even while going straight probably because of the super aggressive tread pattern but after some driving (3k miles) every vibration goes away. Tire noise is linear with temperature, cold=loud and hot=quiet you even notice this as you drive while tires warm up noise goes down, the compound is sensitive to temperature which is probably why on ice the tire is loud while during summer you barely notice. The only weird noise I had is a hum at precisely 58mph, not 57mph and below, not 59mph or above so it's negligible.
I'm super satisfied with the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 also because in my area it's the cheapest compared to Pirelli, Continental or Michelin all while sacrificing nothing (to be fair I haven't tested the Conti ASC2 but I had before Pirelli Cinturato SF, SF3 and Michelin CC2 and also Vredestein Quatrac Pro on this car)

These tires have exceeded my expectations—great grip, smooth ride, and noticeably quiet on the road. Handling feels confident in both dry and wet conditions. Definitely a solid upgrade that improves both comfort and performance.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is a wonderful tire, the best all season I've ever had.
I can finally floor my Audi A3 (215hp) and there's no tire slip in the dry (Vredestein Quatrac Pro had some slip, Goodyear Vector4 Seasons gen 2 had lots of spin). Accelerating in wet conditions also kicks in the traction control for maybe 1/3rd of the pull (Vredestein Quatrac Pro was slightly worse, Goodyear Vector4 Seasons gen 2 spun ridiculously).
What surprised me with this tire is the feedback when cornering, feedback is insanely accurate feels like a summer tire and you gradually feel every degree of change through the steering and the input you give to correct the line, this applies not only for dry but all driving conditions. Vredestein Quatrac Pro had some delay when steering at high speeds and the steering felt much heavier, Goodyear Vector4 Seasons gen 2 understeered dangerously in the wet and felt soft like a winter tire in summer.
As for wear, I wore down 1/32 after 7.000km, considering new was 9/32 so I have 7/32 until 2/32, the tire should last 49.000km overall which is okay. Vredestein Quatrac Pro lasted me 85.000km but the tread was very hard towards the end, Goodyear Vector4 Seasons gen 2 lasted 35.000km because it started losing random chunks of rubber and had cracks like it was melting even though I didn't use them on the track lol.
Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is soft and comfortable, dampens lots of cracks in the asphalt and they're quiet but due to the super aggressive tread design some small vibrations can be felt through the steering when going around 200-250km/h. Vredestein Quatrac Pro were much louder at 100km/h and above and passed some vibrations over cracks in the asphalt, pebbles and other irregularities. Goodyear Vector4 Seasons gen 2 were quiet.
I tested little slushy snow so and lots of mud (unpaved muddy/rocky roads, soft grass picknicking in woods, off-road in quarries) and these are the best roads tires I've ever tested on mud, they don't slip and catch very well all debris between the treads which help traction. You will get lots of water and mud splashing, pebbles and at one point I got twigs launching upwards lmao.

Just replace Bridgestone tyres with Avon ZV7 225/45/18 to my Audi A3 Saloon 2021, Ride, noise, comfort are all fine, feedback is OK but not as good as Bridgestone. better grip in the dry, however acceptable grip in wet conditions, price was good against its competitors, car feels planted when cornering.

So far so good, on just three weeks on the tires, which replaced the OEM Continentals on an Audi A3.
Definitely quieter than the Contis and a tad more compliant than the Contis. Very linear, light steering, very direct and high dry grip. No wet driving yet, hence the 'n/a' on that rating

First time i have placed anything other than premium summer sport tyres on this car, and i can tell immediately that they are more comfort orientated. There's a more noticeable delay to respond to sharper steering input, but i have no doubt in the tyre's ability to grip after the tyre wall slack is taken up.
Car is more comfortable and i think a little less noisy with these tyres fitted. Appears to handle better than summer sport tyres on gravel tracks with less slip perceived on inclines.
Doesn't seem to be well advertised but i'm impressed with the rim protectors as well, which are generous and should afford the rims a least a chance
