20" S-Line Rims ...need new tires..Suggestions?
My Q is approaching it's tire replacement requirements.....Still have about 6 maybe 7K miles to go but would like to get your opinion on what you guys suggest as good replacement tire...
Wants: 1. Quite 2. Traction 3. Life Right now it has Bridgestone's and they are ok but I've got friends with Hancook or Michellin which are pretty good (not on a Q5) |
Michelin Latitude are great tires.
Quiet, good on all driving conditions, and will last for a long time. I have not owned Conti's but hear that it's good as well. |

Tire Rack lists the OE Bridgestone (summer truck tire) and a Michelin Pilot Super Sport as Best Sellers with the Pilot getting better reviews. The Pilot is a maximum performance summer tire, while the OE Michelin Lattitude Sport is a summer truck tire and costs $130 more per tire. :eek:
There are also some options from Conti, Dunlop, Goodyear, and Hankook as well but the Pilot SS gets the best reviews. |

These are the trucks:: Audi Q3 ,Q5 and Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Honda CRV, AMG Classe M, Volkswagen Touareg, Volvo XC60 and Range Rover Evoque. LOL http://www.michelinman.com/tire-sele...t/tire-details http://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/michelin-latitude-sport Michelin Pilot Super Sport not tire of SUV :D, but for sport car Porsche, BMW M and Ferrari The difference in price is because: Pilot Super Sport made in US , Latitude Sport imports from Europe :) |
+1
The latitude is a great tire for suv's, while the pilot ss are great for sports cars. |
I run Conti DWSs on my 20"s - but for three season use. I still have snows for winter on 19's
|
As long as the tire meets the load requirements for the application, and the Pilot SS does, why would one need a summer truck tire over a max performance tire on a Q5?
