Depends on how hard you drive it. TDI's, especially the 140bhp+ are quite heavy on fronts.

I have a 2.7T A6 quattro automatic.

Michelin Primacy tyres all round which were not new when I bought the car but probably pretty close. Covered 18k miles myself and they are due for replacement. Of course as it's the Quattro it's all four not just the front two :(

do they wear evenly on the quatro, or do the fronts still wear quicker?

I guess if the fronts still wear quicker it would be worth swapping the fronts with the rears?

My experience is that they wear evenly. All tyres had approx 7mm of tread when I bought the car and all now have 2mm
