Default NEED TO GET NEW TIRES THIS WEEK, NEED HELP SELLECTING FROM TIRE EXPERTS....

a tire brand and size. I have S4 17" Avus wheels and have an A6 Avant. Looking for a tire that has decent milage , low noise and good grip, I know I want everything but i am willing to compromise on grip to get low noise and better gas milage. For example I have Potenza RE730's on my other car, love the grip, wet or dry but hate the noise and very low milage...so keeping that in mind, please advise...

Would recommend you take a look at the RE730 Gen 2. They address the tire noise with this new tire.

Otherwise, look into the S03.

Default I happen to like the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 PPs alot. Good grip, excellent in the wet, quiet....

Not sure about tire life yet, but so far they seem to be wearing really well.

Default S03s!

Check the archives for the info on the Bridgestone POtenza S03s. Our testing on them is below.

Also refer to your post above on using size on the S4 wheels for the avant too! Call me should you need them or want more info!<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/bs_s03_rd.jsp">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/bs_s03_rd.jsp</a</li></ul>
