Default All Season Tire Suggestion for 2002 A4Q Sport

Ok, I have a 2002 A4Q Sport with 10000 miles on it, and I am not happy at all with the stock tires. They are Michelins (not sure of exact model). The car has a very noisy ride, and I have had the car in twice to have them check alignment, balance and wheel bearings and everything is just fine. The noise just drives me nuts and isn't nearly as smooth as my 99.5 A4Q Sport was. I am resigned to the fact that these tires just suck.

I am thinking about replacing them with All Season Tires. I know I will probably lose a little bit of the handling if I do this, but that doesn't concern me as much. Does anybody have any suggestions for some good All Season tires?

In retrospect, I wish I wouldn't have got the sport package, but it is too late now.

Default Check the forum sponsor!

sure...go to www.tirerack.com, the sponsor of this forum.

Input your car and voila. There are a bunch of good all-season tires for your Audi. They are also discussed extensively in this forum--poke around a bit.

Or I could save you the trouble and tell you to get Michelin Pilot Sport A/S if you're not concerned about $$$, and Sumitomo HTR+, if you'd like to save a little (a lot).

Good Luck
