Previously had continental sportcontact 5p and michelin pilot supersports and the pirellis are way better especially in the wet. So much confidence.

Fitment comes from each tyre'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 A5 2.0TFSI Quattro drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Drove these for more than 10000km since previous review and still they are great, dry performance is still not peak track performance but grip is more than enough, as long as you keep power in check, again these are not track tires.
Wet grip is also good after all those kms and I dont see any visible cracking or tearing of sipes.
As for snow this year I tried them and they are definitely very good, I even recorded a short clip and put it on Youtube(https://youtu.be/U78naTyV8zE?si=eVGzh6tM4wFk_DKb), you can check yourselves how it handles, of course car has 4WD and I activated sports mode manually to make sure it always is 4WD.
I still think except for its price it is a very good top/mid-performance tire.
Good tyre overall and would buy again for a premium middle of the range tyre
Had these tyres on a 2019 Audi A5 Sportback S-Line with 20" Rims. After 2000km, I love these tyres. My requirements were everyday comfort and minimal road noise, with a great balance in performance.
They were great in the dry, but where I really noticed their edge was in the wet. They give plenty of confidence while driving, braking, turning, and braking in the turn on wet roads, and this was exactly like the reviews I had read before.
Summary, highly recommend.

I had them on my 2023 Audi A5 45 TFSI Quattro, but i didn't like them!
The wear was awful and they were pretty noisy compared to the SportContact7.
Also, the grip wasn't that great in dry conditions and i had an insecure feeling at the wheel!

Bad under wet braking, had to do an emergency brake and the car veered to the side, never had that happen before. Do not feel confident in the wet with these. Dont buy, they were already fitted to my car when I got it.
I've been using these tyres for half a year now and they feel great.
Though i must say dry grip is kinda offset by the quattro system, i still barely have any wheelspin, even in the rain, with a stage 1 tune.
Very happy with this tyre. They have near enough eliminated the usual understeer from my A5 with a very sharp turn in and a progressive feel as the tyres load up through moderately fast corners. I’ve only experienced the wet a couple of times and it again impressed me. It’s too early to say how they will wear but I will review again in the future.
This is only an initial observation !!!!
i am comparing the pilot sport as 4 to my old tires, pilot sport as 3 worn down almost to the tread indicator.
so having driven only 10 miles on the highway on the new tires: they definitely have great feedback and feel planted to the road. However, they feel jittery and transmit road imperfections noise-wise.
on a flat, "no imperfections" road surfaces they feel smooth as ice skating. unfortunately, very few roads have no imperfections.
i am an easy going driver so i probably will not approach the performance envelope of these tires, except for avoiding dangerous situations....which is where braking and steering matter, hence for safety.
The previous owner fit this tire to the car the winter before I bought it. So they were pretty new when I started with them. The tyre itself is quiet compared to the SportContact 6s I have for the summer. But after fitting them back on the car the road feedback is very lacking and the wet grip is so bad it made an Audi with Quattro spin it’s wheels! The most shocking thing is the balance of the car and the braking distance. Driving on motorways it’s floating around all over the place and the braking distance feels dangerously long.
All in all then, the noise level is the only good thing I have to say about the tyre.
