Car Forum / Audi Cars / January 2006Opinions on tires?
It's time for mew tires for my stock 2000 A6-2.7T. Love the thing "Generally" speaking, have a few issues, but thats another post. (new right side ball joins at 56k miles? Hmmmm...) Currently I have Goodyear Eagle RS-A in stock 16" size. This tire is the quietest I've ever had. I love 'em for that. Handling is "OK". They wear a bit faster than I would like. I need an all round performance tire, but can't sacrifice too much cush. That being said, I do like to carve high speed turns as if GS skiing. I realize the trade offs involved here. Also, I live in So. California and don't see much (any) snow, or have a long rainy season. Current opinions ? Thanks. Rick >Current opinions ? I drove the A6 2.7T in 2000 and thought it was "under tired", that is, not enough tire for the car. I then drove the A6 4.2 and found it handled better. It had 255-40-18 and the difference between the two cars was because of the tires. I bought the 4.2 model because of this. If I was replacing tires on the 2.7t, I would go for a premium performance tire. I have the same Dunlop 255-40-18 tires on my RS6 and they are superb. Dave >From Goodyear's site a comparison chart. http://www.goodyeartires.com/goodyeartireselector/results_tire.jsp?mrktarea=Perf ormance My preferance is for Goodyear's Assurance ComforTred. You have to hang jingle bells to hear them. These pups have an 80K warranty. Mounting them was like getting a new car. http://www.goodyeartires.com/goodyeartireselector/results_tire.jsp?mrktarea=Passenger I do my tire research at www.tirerack.com They will suggest tires for your year and model car and you can look at how people have rated those tires for somthing like a dozen different attirbutes, like wear, day handling, wet handling, noise, etc. You can also see the best sellers in your chosen category. > It's time for mew tires for my stock 2000 A6-2.7T. > Love the thing "Generally" speaking, have a few issues, [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Thanks. > Rick |
