Audi Q5 Tyre Review Highlights
Writing about the Continental VikingContact 8 given 87% (235-60-17)
Still the best winter tire I have used... very quiet:)

Writing about the Michelin X Ice Snow SUV given 83% (235-60-18)
Excellent snow and ice traction, effortless driving through 10+ cm of fresh snow.

Writing about the Firestone Roadhawk 2 ENLITEN given 83% (255-45-20)
Driving on mostly town for 6100 average miles
I did not know what to expect from these tyres when I bought them, as there were almost no tests and reviews. I am happy to report, that there are no unpleasant surprises with them! Tyres grips well both dry and wet, very good road comfort, low rolling resistance, noise comfort is average - depends on the surface and I believe, they got a bit noisier with the wear, but they are not load. Special mention to the rim protection - it is superb! Saved my rims a couple of times from the scratches. Tyres does not have a character to them, but they do what you want them to do. Overall, a very good touring tyre. After 10000kms and one season, fronts are down to 6.0 mm, rears are at 6.7 mm. With tyre rotation, they should have a decent lifespan.
P.S. Special mention to tyre width - I did not measure them, but at a glance, my 255 section Firestone's don't look wider than my 235 winter Nokians...

Writing about the Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 SUV given 77% (255-45-20)
Driving on a combination of roads for 24000 average miles
Had to change my Audi q5 tyres after 24000 miles. Not great longevity. Apart from that I had no problems and replaced them with the same new tyre.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV given 91% (225-45-17)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
A tire that inspires great confidence on dry roads, with good durability. Excellent for SUVs. I've had Continentals before, but I prefer Michelin. I've been using them for 20 years on my X3, X5, and Q5.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 4 given 77% (235-55-19)
Driving on mostly town for 8500 easy going miles
Actually I have Michelin Primacy 4 235/55 R19 105W XL MO
+ rim protector (at 8 inch wheel no need to worry about scratching the disks)
+ quiet at good road
+ not floaty at hot weather
+ soft but strong sidewall
++ fuel consumption on my dashboard
++ treadwear 15000 km/per 1 mm
- I don't want to drive fast on a wet road at 2 tons car (previously had Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 it is mush more better, just another level on a wet road)
- price of a new set

Writing about the Kumho Crugen HP91 given 96% (255-45-20)
Driving on a combination of roads for 43000 average miles
These were the tyres that were fitted with my new Audi 2018 Q5 by the dealer. I have driven them for 70.000km over 8 years without a problem, in a mix of city and highway (in Belgium where it rains a lot). I have also driven them in winter conditions and a bit of offroad. I have never had any problems, so I have to say they performed well for my application until their end of life.

Writing about the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV given 83% (235-60-18-)
Driving on mostly town for 3000 easy going miles
This is a soft compound winter tyre, so my scores are reflecting it. It is designed mainly for roads covered in snow and ice and boy, it sure does deliver on these surfaces! Loads of grip on winter roads - braking on ice felt like a studded tyre from a couple generations ago! Very safe and predictable on winter roads - never had any grip issues with these tyres. Of course, it lacks grip on dry and wet roads, but if you drive without a rush, you will not have any problems. I have Michelin X-ice Snow fitted on my second car and they feel softer on dry surfaces and I have less confidence in them to push the carComfortable and quiet tyre although, when temperature goes above +5 C, it gets loud and grip drops significantly. I have covered 5000 kms on them and no signs of noticeable wear so far. Very happy with these tyres, considering what these tyres are designed for.

Writing about the Pirelli Scorpion Verde given 44% (255-45-20-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 average miles
I’ve driven two full sets of Pirelli Scorpion Verde 255/45 R20 AO on my Audi Q5 (FY) since June 2024.

The first set came with the car and was immediately out of round, causing noticeable vibration. Hunter Road Force testing confirmed the tyres could not be corrected.

I then purchased a new, identical set, hoping to fix the problem – but only two out of four tyres were matchable. The others also had excessive radial force variation (RFV). The car continued to suffer from vibration issues, despite proper installation and balancing.

After more than four months, Pirelli now offered a credit for just two tyres – despite my experience with two complete sets. For a premium product with AO OEM approval, this is very disappointing.

I will not buy this tyre again.

Writing about the Nexen WinGuard Sport 2 given 70% (235-55-19-)
Driving on mostly town for 3400 easy going miles
Good: dry grip, wet grip, snow grip, comfort
Wear - above 7000 km by 1 mm of tread
Disappointed with tire width: it she should be 235, but actually 210 mm, contact with ground only 195 mm.
Nexen, WTF? Where my 1 inch?
By the way it had rim protector, but it doesn't work on 8 inch wheel, because it 210 mm. I am so angry and disappointed
Do not buy this wheel in 235/55/19

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza T005 given 56% (235-55-19-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 15 average miles
Fit a set of these Turanza T005 last year Sept. 2023 on my Audi Q5 and only have another 1-2000km left for each tyre. Swopped tyres around on 8000km and not as usual on 10 000km. Currently standing on 15 000km and searching for tyres. Really not happy, will not recommend.
