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?

The big difference is Acceptable Alternative Tires http://www.michelinman.com/tire-sele...0Option)/tires Maybe Audi in cooperation with Michelin put tires Pilot SS on Q5 in the factory that the tires made for SUV/Crossover Good luck with your choice of tires |

What do you guys think of http://www.achillestires.com/
I was just suffering and came across them and alot of people said good things to say about it (they admit that they haven't tried it out on snow but for me that's not important as I live in South Carolina...heavy snow is least of my worries for now) |
These are highly recommended by other SUV owners. Yoko Parada Spec-X
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....dClar=S%20line Keep in mind when searching for tire reviews, some tires may have raving reviews for cars but when the same tires is installed on a SUV the reviews may be different. But for a summer only tire, the Michelin Latitude Sport is an awesome tire. Those came stock on my S-Line. |
I see 11 tires at Tirerack for a 2013 Q5 3.0T with 255/45R20 that are not Winter tires, and are less than $200/ea. That's where I'd start looking personally. Then depending what sort of seasons you have, or when these tires will be on the car, decide between variations of all season to summers.
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...ting=S&tab=All I'd be very tempted by the Kumho 4X for $147/ea before $50 rebate. I have the ASX on my A3 and would consider those again (though I note they are on closeout). I don't know details, but would also look into the Parada Spec-X, BFG g-Force and Ventus V12. |
