Car Forum / Audi Cars / February 20082.7T Tire Suggestion
Have a used 2001 2.7T with Nokian tires. We are not happy with the tires as they are very noisy. Car also starts to vibrate at 60MPH and is there through 70MPH. Looking for suggestions for new tires. Would prefer smooth quiet ride to mega performance. Marc I had Michelin MXV4 that did not last long and were on the noisy side. I replaced them with Toyo Proxes TPT and they are very quiet. Big difference. > Have a used 2001 2.7T with Nokian tires. We are not happy with the tires as > they are very noisy. Car also starts to vibrate at 60MPH and is there > through 70MPH.

I recently purchased a set of Dunlop SP Sport 5000's for my Oldsmobile after reviewing several similar tires at the TireRack. They only have about 5k miles on them so far, so I can't really comment on tread life, but they're very quiet (much quieter than the stock Goodyear Eagles they replaced) and handle at least as well as the Goodyears. They're moderately sporty all-season radials, and came with a bi-directional tread pattern in my 215-60/16 tire size. IIRC, the lower sidewall ratios (55 series and lower) of this tire have a uni-directional tread pattern, and might not be as quiet as mine. - Greg  Signature1976 Cadillac Fleetwood 9-passenger sedan 1989 Audi 200TQ sedan 1990 Audi V8Q (for sale: http://www.dataspire.com/v8q) 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue 2001 Chevy Astro AWD > Have a used 2001 2.7T with Nokian tires.

Replaced them with Continental ContiExtremeContact (tirerack.com) Much quieter and great grip in wet and snow. Cheers > > Have a used 2001 2.7T with Nokian tires.

They're sloppier than the stock Pirelli P-Zero Rosso but they still grip well wet and dry. The S.4. has the advantage of being a quiet, comfortable, all-season tire with a much better tread life. The downside is that the S.4. are expensive. One thing to watch out for is the load rating. Audis are grossly overweight cars. Upgraded rims make it even harder to find tires with a high enough load rating. SignatureI don't read Google's spam. Reply with another service. |
