Best Tyres for the Audi A4 Avant 2.0T Quattro

All 4 tyres 3 years old on an A4 Quattro.............mot fail due to UV/heat damage on inside & outside edges of tread 9000 miles

Fitment - 2014 A4 B8.5 S-Line wagon, 2.0T Normal city driving, all year around Dry weather performance - no issues, grip fine, low noise, good wear Wet weather performance - poor. Front tyres lose traction under moderate corner acceleration resulting in low speed understeer. No problem with straight line and sweeping bends grip but would not recommend pushing these tyres in the wet. Recommendation - summer-only tyres - ok. Winter or all-round use - avoid.

Had these on my previous Audi A6, I now have them on my Audi A4. I know my tyres well, I have experienced many tyres over years of driving. I can say this tyre has impressive comfort and low noise. Almost silent on my Audi A4 on good roads. The soft compound absorbs the cracks and ridges on the road as if the tyre is under inflated even though it’s not. Dry grip is very high, you won’t ever get anywhere near it under normal driving but if you do the grip loss is not gradual it’s quite snappy. The wet grip is very commendable considering the price and competition. These tyres give confidence to drive through water and rain. They perform better than Barum 3hm from personal experience. Have a look at the wet grip in the tyres tests, they beat many similar price tyres. The wear is reasonable it’s not the best it’s not the worst just average. I would certainly buy them again, strong dry grip, impressive wet grip, rim protection and lastly extremely comfortable.

This tire takes a while (over 1K miles) to break-in. Initially I was a little disappointed on its grip and comfort, but after a couple thousand miles the tires have started to shine with good traction wet or dry, offer good level of comfort and quietness.

Right before F1A3 I ran Hankook S1 EVO 2, also great tire for the price, but F1A3 feels somewhat more refined in its road manners, especially on road noise.

The steering feedback is a little numb but it can be the car and not tire, because I remember when I ran 1st generation F1A1 on my previous Subaru Legacy BPE 3.0R it had wonderful steering feel.

So I have no major complaint about this tire.

I use it for my MY07 Audi A4 2.0TQ avant, feel confidence in corner with certain fast speed. it is normal in raining day and I believed that no one drive a car with this tire in fast speed. I do think I will buy again, nice tyre!

had them on my big turbo 2.0 quattro a4 previous owner bought them in march , since i bought the car and mounted the turbo these tires went off , they are bald, changed them in november and not even one season wear from a eco tire .
on my oyher car i have falken 510 which are better for comfort handling and road noise , even my winters on my audi (245 40 r18 h449 falken) are better . never going to buy pirelli , these tires turned me off the brand :(

These tyres are excellent in snow and very good on cold wet roads. It is possible to accelerate uphill with confidence on snow, as long as your not acting the goat! This gives you that feeling of getting one over on the British winter which makes me smile! Most important though is the stopping ability. Braking quite firmly downhill on snow is an ABS free experience. You really won't believe the improvement until you experience it. Like others, I cannot see myself ever driving in winter without appropriate tyres again. I only wish everyone had to have them by law as it would make me less nervous about the safety of my rear bumper! My wife's GTi is getting a set of the same tyres in two days time, so definitely am buying again... My only criticism is that fast corners (think motorway roundabouts) are not as solid as with my summer continentals; at the start of the turn you can feel the car creep sideways slightly and then it grips firmly. I understand this is a common characteristic of winter tyres though.

Possibly the worst tyre I've ever had, and I've had a lot of cars. Terrible wear after 3,000 miles to which is suddenly loses all grip in wet and they needed changing after 9,000 because it was so unsafe.
I've since moved to Michelin PS3's which are a delight.

Grip in wet and dry conditions was great. A tad noisy on some roads, especially on the motorway when the engine is generally quieter. The only thing that let me down on these tyres was the wear - I got about 15k miles. I've used michelins for a number of years now, so would like to try something different.

good tyres, very comfortable, provides very good grip on wet and dry and overall im very satisfied. better than kumho's, nexens and even pirellis.
