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.
How long do tyres last on the Audi A6?
Across 49 end of life reviews from Audi A6 drivers, a typical set of tyres was worn out after 15,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 8,000 miles and 27,850 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them.
Every tyre reviewed on the Audi A6
The complete record, including discontinued tyres and tyres with too few reviews to rank, ordered by the amount of evidence. A further 143 tyres have a single review each; they count toward the totals but are not listed.

What Audi A6 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Excellent tyre, but due to the low profile and the Bilstein B6 the ride is a bit harsh over the tarmac
I only used them in winter for the worst 3 months moutain roads heavy snow, after 2 years they are still very good. Much better snowgrip then i expected, they are a bit harder to push hard because of not great feedback but I would buy again
Brought the A6 avant 2 years ago from a dealership. These tyres had just been fitted along with new brakes etc. I do above average mileage, around 24k a year with a mixture of roads but mainly motorway/ dual carriage way.
I’ve now done 52k on these tyres and I’ve just noticed this week that the handling in the wet has gone. But they were brilliant in standing water and heavy rain. These tyres are really quiet with the windows up, no road noise. Fuel efficiency, well as mentioned above I average in an Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI 2021 55mpg
850 mile to 70 litres of fuel.
Comfort levels - unfortunately its on sports suspension therefore quite a stiff ride.
However re the UKs influx in potholes these tyres have stood the time well.
Fine in the dry, reasonably quiet.
Cannot trust them in the wet.
These were new on the car when I bought it second hand and are by far the worst tyres I've ever experienced for wear. In fairness the performance is adequate in the dry, but I swear they are made out of butter. I have driven approximately 6000km on Portuguese roads in my A6 Quattro since October 2025, its end of July 2026 at time of writing and the back pair are completely worn out and the front pair have less than 2mm on the tread. I'm just glad I didn't pay for them.
I’ve previously used the Continental Procontact and the PilotSport 4 A/S and this has the best grip, handling, and feedback of them all. The PS4A/S is nearly as good just a bit smoother and quieter and the Procontact is only good for basic highway driving or grocery getting.
Tires wore out rather quickly, got one season out of them, lasted more like 20K Km if even that, otherwise good enough grip on dry and wet tarmac, kind of squirrelly/ not very confidence inspiring on gravel, although thats to be expected.
Actually in shock, how good these tires are there incredibly impressive period let alone for the money. Handling is nothing short of excellent Road. Feedback is superb and they are incredibly comfortable. If you have an older car like me that is in great condition and you don’t want to spend a fortune on tires, I highly recommend them.
Have no comparison on this vehicle with other tires yet.
Was driving on snow this year multiple times and felt safe all the time.
Never felt disadvantages on dry and wet roads.
It is a bit wobbly, since it‘s not a performance tire.
Downside is a whine at about 70 to 80 km/h, which appeared from the first day. Also I have the feeling that it should be more silent in general.
The noise is the reason I would not buy it again.
Furthermore small pieces of the profile are getting lose. Maybe this is due to driving it fast in summer on the Autobahn with unlimited speed (top speed of vehicle is 250 km/h).
