How much?

[Cavey]

Dropped in to my usual tyre place today to see what the damage will be for replacements on my A6 Avant 3.0 TDi Q - Le Mans edition so 19" wheels. Currently on Michelin Pilot Sports. Answer: that's the only option showing, and £265 per corner.

Is this the going rate, and are there not any other options?

Cheers

What size?

[istoo]

try the online ones,
mytyres or blackcircles

but sizes can sting you uber amounts...

[Dr G]

That's RS4/6 size - all the online stores have a range of these for a lot less than that.

Should be 255/35/19/96Y I beleive so choice of Goodyear, Continental, Pirelli, Vredestein...

Your local COSTCO is really competitive for Michelins.

i can get a set of 4 michellins for your 1 michellin. costco do michellins cheap as i was quoted £95 per tyre at kwik fit, costco said £62 i think.

You realise that the size of tyre makes a difference ?
He's after 19" with a 35 profile.

black circle e-tyres, etc...

Have used e-tyre and they fit the tyres where ever you are, and same price as Costco.
Replace my 4 Michelin Primacy 234 45R17 for abit more than £400

I have the same car. I hated the standard Pirellis so got Duynlop SP9000 from pneus online for £600 plus about £50 for fitting. That was for four tyres. Much better wear than the pirellis and better in the wet too, slightly noisier.

A6 has to have extra load tyres, I am not sure if the RS4 uses extra load.

Thanks all - looks like there is hope after all.

Dunlop SP9000 seem to work very nicely on Quattros I find.

Goodyear GSD F1 Asymmetrics are well worth a look.

Cheaper than MPS2s as well.
