Pirelli Scorpion Verde
I need to replace my 2012 Audi A6 PP tires and was looking on Tire Rack.
Link It said that it is for Crossover/SUV. Will this not work well with my A6? The size is right and the price is awesome at $569+ for a set of 4 after MIR! Anyone had any experience? I was under the impression that as long as the tire size is right, there should be no issues, but why does it say Crossover/SUV? |
Found this on Tirerack. So i guess it will work fine with A6.

I have had tree different sets of Pirelli tire models over the years and my experience with all was very poor. Noisy, poor tread wear and difficult to balance after a few thousand miles. IMO, there are plenty of alternative A/S tires that would be a better choice for an A6 than these. And, for the most part, you get ehat you pay for.

Thanks! My car is 4 yr old and i don't intend to keep it for more than 2-3 yrs.
how important is the Load Factor and speed rating? recommended for Audi A6 is 100Y and XL, is it absolutely required to stick to those? |

My usage will not be more than 6-7k/yr. I bought a 2012 A6 CPO in Nov 2013 with 8k miles on it. Since then i have driven 24k miles in 2.5 yrs and about 7k the last year.
There is a Sumitomo rated well 255/40-19 100Y XL with 300AAA for $580! Conti is $850. if the difference was $100 -$150 I wouldn't bother weighing options. |
