    Only getting 13,000 miles out of fronts and not much more out of rears. Car came with OEM Pirelli p7 Cinturato. I replaced all 4 last time with the p7's
    Anyone fitted anything better or are the Pirellis as good as it gets. Local tyre place quotes £132 per tyre includ. balance and diposal for the p7's

    Thanks

    That's bad. Had the same Tyres on my last A6 did 60000 miles and changed then once at 35000 miles. Have you checked your tyre pressure?

    I have the same tyre and the car (2.0TDi Avant) has just done 20k miles. Fronts will need replacing soon, driving is a mixture of motorways country roads and town, but the rears have plenty of life left in them.

    Michelins get my vote. Nearly got 40k out of my PS2s (albeit 255/35/19).

    My bridgestones on my A7 lasted for 19,000 miles and were replaced by my local Audi dealer who beat any local quote for £181 ea.

    I had Pirelli's on mine - did 55k on the rears, and 18k on the first set of fronts, the replacements for which are still on the car and have 3mm left. It's at 56k now.

    Sounds like either you're driving like you stole it, round town an awful lot, or something may not be quite right...
