Best Tyres for the Audi Audi A4 Avant 3.2 Quattro S Line

I've got to say I'm disappointed with these tyres when compared to the Asymmetric 2.
They don't feel anywhere near as planted as they should - under steer is more pronounced - noise is also an issue, they say they are quieter...but they aren't. The look of the tyre has changed as well, the side walls are larger and chunkier so no longer look like a low profile tyre.
One good advantage of the Asymmetric 2 was the rim protector - it was nice and meaty and saved my rims quite a few times. The Asymmetric 3 has no where near the protector - doubt it would stop much.
All this is probably why the Asymmetric 3's are cheap compared to the 2's.

Real shame as the Asymmetric 2 was the best tyre I could fined - hopefully they keep them going along side the 3's.

Bought my car this summer with these tyres fitted, and like many have said before - excellent in the dry, very sure-footed in both twisty roads and motorway. They are however not for the faint hearted while winter driving, even with Quattro and a light right foot I found myself going sideways! Traction in fresh snow was OK (perhaps with Quattro), but compacted snow/ice & slush is impossible. Can't comment on wear as the tyres were already on the car.
Have now fitted a set of Nokian WR's which will serve as winter tyres and will keep the Bridgestones as Summer tyres, bit of expense but worth it, I'd say...
