OEM Continental Tire performance
Hi all, I had made a post a while back regarding poor traction with my stock contisportcontact 5 255/35/19 tires in cold weather.
With the ambient temps up, traction has improved albeit still sketchy when it comes to ruts or grooves in the road.
The other day a friend mentioned how noisy the car was driving along at highway speeds and in fact I realized it was quite noisier than usual.
My previous vehicle, 2016 A3, handled straight as an arrow whatever the road surface was and was also more than sufficiently quiet.
I am now considering changing out these tires.
Would anyone recommend a type of quieter and good performing all around tire. I care more about comfort than performance since my A5 is mostly a commuter.

Tires in this size are high performance, not touring. How about all season https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...k&autoModClar=

IMO, no matter how compliant the tire, 19" wheels allow for limited sidewall. 17" or 18" would work better for what you desire. I think wider tires also add to the handling issues on uneven roads
