Any recommendations for Audi A6 AWD
Need to replace my Firehawk SH30 soon.
Handling, price, lifetime, wet/snow traction important in that order.
They are 205 55 R 16. Considered Conti CH95 (cheap), Kumho, Pirelli, Goodyear, Firehawk

I got the CH95 for my wife's Jetta...
I'd get the SP Sport A2 if I could do it again. The Conti's are quiet and comfortable but don't feel too good when driving at 7/10ths. And even though I think they are warrantied to 50k, I'm not too impressed with tread life thus far. I've rotated at 5k, they're wearing evenly but too quickly IMO. They come off for snows in a week or so anyway.

Re: Any recommendations
Sure. Coming off the Firestones (great tire) I suggest you look at the Bridgetone Potenza RE950s, followed by the Dunlop Sport A2s for a good bang for the buck.
Call me to discuss the particulars of each, or when youare ready to order!
