I've been using them on two A4s for several years, and after trying the P6000, Turanza and SP Sport - the latter produces an unpleasant rumble.

Very good tire for fast driving, but as soon as I caught a small snow off guard - well, that was an experience - no traction at all. I'm buying my new set now.

Very good tire for speedy driving, but as soon as I hit a bit of unexpected snow - well, it was a good thing I had experience - there's no traction at all. I'm buying my new set now.

I had two sets of these tires on our Bora. The first one lasted 50,000 km. The car was sold before the 2nd set wore out. Excellent tire that suits the car.

If you need performance, this is one of the best. Otherwise, try something else, convenient but not as good as the bridge!
