Audi RS4 Quattro Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Yokohama ADVAN APEX V601 given 83% (255-35-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
Bought them due to a lack of alternatives. Previously used P Zero Assimetrico, Dunlop Sport Maxx GT, GT Radial Champiro and Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymmetric.

They give better feedback in an AWD car (wet and dry) than the Champiro and P Zero, plus outlast both by some margin. Rides far better than either, too; roughly on par in terms of NVH and comfort as the Eagle F1s.

The Dunlop Sport Maxx GT is however more comfy, has marginally better wet performance and shorter braking distances. But they wear out even quicker than the Advan Apex.

I'm a lively and brisk driver, in both wet and dry conditions, and enjoy employing what i bought the car (RS4 Avant, 3.0L) for, finding quiet b-roads whenever i can.

Recommended if no completing alternatives, or you're on a budget.

Writing about the Continental Premium Contact 6 given 73% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
Really surprised about the grip levels, especially in the wet. Balance is towards too much understeer in my case, and some delay at the rear axle can be felt with spirited driving and at high speeds in autobahn. For normal driving is a good tire, but it doesn't communicate too much through the steering; maybe comfort is the worst area, showing a little too sharp feel over most impacts and some small aftershake. Noise levels are average. Wear seems to be very good as they have more than 12kkm and they look...well, worn, but normal, no cracks or weird things after many twisties, Europe trips and even some Nordschleife action. Would definitely buy again for a family car that does motorway and mild country roads, but not for a weekend car.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza S007 given 86% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 9 spirited miles
These came fitted to my Audi RS4 from the factory and I have been very pleased with the tires. They have performed better than any Michelin Pilot Sport tire I have previously run on my RS4's including the Super Sport. In fact, I've been so impressed that I shall get another set fitted come spring time, instead of waiting for the new Michelin PS4.

Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
Fitted to Audi RS4 from new. 18,000 miles later and still some life left. Performance all round very good, wet and dry. Would buy again over Pirelli or Michelin if only because of wear rate and no noticeable difference....

Writing about the Pirelli P Zero Silver given 49% (265-30-20-W)
Driving on mostly motorways for 14000 spirited miles
I bought these to replace the original P zero on my 2013 Audi RS4. I was hoping for the same level of feel and grip but with more wear. Well I got a lot more wear but the grip levels and progressiveness are not really upto the job of giving confidence when giving the car some welly on back roads.

I have just changed all 4 for another brand. The rears had about 5mm left after 14,000miles, the fronts about 3mm. The RS4 is AWD.

These are fine if you are mainly on a motorway, otherwise be prepared for wheelspin...

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta LE Sport given 81% (255-35-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
Great value tires. Running these on the rear of my rs4 for 11months and although you can provoke the traction control to cut in you need to push it hard. Liked so much replacing the Toyo proxies sp1 on the front with these tires.

Writing about the Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme given 80% (255-35-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 spirited miles
I have these fitted to my RS4, and I get so much driver confidence from these tires which is vital for a car with so much performance. They just assist the 4WD to grip beyond expectations even when the roads are a bit icy you get confidence and grip with a great progressive feel.

I fully recommend these tires for winter months as they are comfortable, wear is good and fairly quiet so they are easy to live with. (I can't comment on MPG as I only get 19-26 MPG anyway...)

Bad bits:
They could do with being a bit more precise on steering, but I've overlook this as the benefits outweigh the negatives.

Verdict:
What can I say, these tires are amazing in the snow/ice and when the weather gets cold. I'd even consider leaving them on all year round, if I didn't already have a set of summer tires as they suit 95% of my driving all year.
