So, end of this month I need four new tyres for the A6 2.7T. I previously mentioned I would probably go for another set of Michelin Primacies as that is what was on the car when I bought it.
However, I had a fit when I phoned up to check the price. £200 per tyre! I had a little look on the Internet and can get them supplied, fitted and balanced for £150 but that's still quite a lot of money.
I do follow the view that my car only has four small rubber contact points keeping me from a disaster but £600 is a bit pricey for me right now. I wouldn't buy budget tyres but may look at the lower end of the premium range.
Around the £100 per tyre mark a web site is offering Avon ZV5 and Yokohama S306.
For £75 per tyre they also have Barum Bravuris 2 which are made by Continental. I bought a couple of these for my partners Ford Fiesta but that doesn't really give me much of a clue on how they might perform on an A6!
Anyone has experience of these tyres?
Many thanks
