Audi Q5 Tire Review Highlights

Fit a set of these Turanza T005 last year Sept. 2023 on my Audi Q5 and only have another 1-2000km left for each tire. Swopped tires around on 8000km and not as usual on 10 000km. Currently standing on 15 000km and searching for tires. Really not happy, will not recommend.
Like what others have said these tires cause some odd vibrations at 60+ I’ve even had them road force balanced which helped a bit but due to the high road force you can still feel it.
Would not recommend them.

Having used the Latitude Sport before, this was an even better tire. Very well balanced with no weaknesses. What surprised me after 2 years and over 40000km of use was how the performance and comfort remained the same throughout. Even the longevity was better than other tires I’ve used before. Almost worn to within 1mm of the indicator.

I purchase a second hand Audi Q5 45 tfsi quattro with those Yokohama Parada Spec-X PA0 already mounted on it.
The tires were also new (fitting for just a few months). I live in a tropical country so good wet braking/handling is a must for me.
Let me be direct: those tire are pure garbage!
Pro:
- They can last long as they look almost like new after 10.000 km
- I did not have to buy them
Cons:
- Extremely dangerous under heavy rain. The car was aquaplaning at speed between 30-50 km/h. My Audi A8 with cheaper tire did not show this kind of unsecured behavior
- As you can expect, wet braking is not great either
- When tire are warm or with abrasive road (concrete), they can overheat really quickly, leading to the car sliding in dry braking and in curve. I am fine with a bit of understeer but this extend is very hard to control
- Can slide easily in curve when you accelerate a bit. Did me this not later than today and it was really unexpected
I tried to keep those tire as much as I could as they were new and felt it would be a waste to trash them. But they are really a safety issue and I cannot accept this anymore.
I will replace them in a few days with either Pilot Sport 4 SUV, Potenza Sport or PZero PZ4.

These tires came OEM on my 22 Audi Q5. They only lasted 15k miles before being replaced despite regular rotation. Additionally the company was unresponsive and unwilling to stand by their warranty. If you are looking to buy a new Audi check the tires carefully as they seem to be cheaping out on OEM tires lately.
The dry traction and responsiveness was good. Braking on dry surfaces was good.
Performance in rain was just ok overall. Braking and traction was good initially but began to deteriorate as treadwear increased. By 4/32” wet performance when braking was poor.
Even when new performance in light snow was marginal at best and poor in heavy or compacted snow. By the end of the tread life rhe tires were unsafe in light snow.
Performance on gravel and compacted dirt driveways was ok when dry and marginal when wet.
Road noise was good initially but became noticeably worse as the tread wore down.
Bottom line this was not a good set of tires and I do not recommend them and I hope Audi receives enough complaints to change their OEM to a quality supplier.

Tires are 3 years old and have just failed mot.
All 4 tires have severe cuts in treads down to cords , I do not drive erratically, fast or off road.
Absolutely no idea why the tires have gone this way and I will speak to Bridgestone.
Approximately £1000 for the set .
I will never buy Bridgestone again.

These tires were great for the first 15,000 miles (18 months). They began to growl after that and now at 20,000 miles they are annoyingly loud between 45 and 70 miles per hour. I am at the point of replacing them even though the tread wear is minimal. The tires have been rotated and I have experimented with different tire pressures to no avail. I contacted Michelin on their website but they never responded.
