A1 tyres

Featured Replies

I just bought an 2016 Audi A1 1.4 CoD TFSI hatch back a few weeks ago. Lovely car, but I was astonished to discover that whilst they are all the same size (215/40R17), they are all from different manufacturers! One was Goodyear, one was "Infinity" whatever the *** that is, "Winda" (??), and the other was "Farroad". 😲

Any recommendations for decent tyres I could re-shoe the car with?

 

Many  thanks,

Alex

Welcome Alex, and thanks for joining. 
It appears that apart from the Goodyear, the rest seem to be a cocktail of budget tyres, which you might find have varying grip in wet/ adverse conditions. 
Recommended brands? I think you are going to have as many different recommendations as you get replies. 
For what it’s worth, I have generally stuck with Michelin which I have found give me more miles/£1, but I’m sure you will have other recommendations. 
Kind regards, 

Gareth. 

i just put 4 new hankook on the s1, £489 all in for fitting etc

This where Alex is likely to have as many varying opinions as responses! 
Family member had a Hankook fitted to his KA a couple of years back. Comparatively rapid tyre wear despite sedate driving.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

I might go with Continental Contact 6s. Expensive but very good.

 

Thanks to all for the comments.
