I've run two sets on ours. When the time comes I'll buy them again. Excellent tires.

check out the pilot sports series. In cold climates go fir two sets. All season/summer and winter on separate wheels

Go to tire rack and check the reviews

How are you liking the DWS tires now that you have had them on for a week?

Pirelli Scorpion Verde's on both the 4.2 and 3.6. I keep them aired up with ~40psi and the only abnormal wear or complaints stemmed from a bad alignment job (twice) from a locally run franchise place on the 4.2 (adaptive suspension). That just cost me $1100 to fix at the (not local) Audi dealership.

I will definitely buy them again for either car. Nice ride, not noisy, etc.

I have Continental procontacts (18") on my A6 now. I've had them on two other cars too. A very nice riding, long wearing, great rain tire. But, after reading the Tire Rack's rall-season reviews. I'll probably buy Michelin 3+'s next time. They have shaper handling.

I'm surprise you went thru two sets of Dunlops. IMHO they were the worst tires ever! Contis are excellent for the price. Michs are also great too.
