Hi

 

I have an Audi A4 Estate (2017); and I think the tyre size is 225 50 R17. I'm looking for a full set and have Bridgestone at the moment.

I'm looking for the best tyre to reduce road NOISE and the best for ECONOMY. I rarely, if ever, go above 85mph but do use on motorways with a sometimes fully laden vehicle

Probably a summer tyre only for UK/England usage...no ice.

 

many thanks!

 

 

Welcome Mark,

’…rarely go above 85mph….’ naughty boy - Plod will be after you, since some follow this forum! Only joking - I think. 
Very difficult question to answer since you are looking at the ideal - but rarely achieved - magic formula ( which might have included longevity). 
What end of the price scale are you concentrating on? Premium range? 
One of the main tyre retailers - Tyre Leaders?? - lists the ratings you enquire about from customer feedback I think. 
Bear in mind that your tyres will probably be XL load rating for the estate. 
Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Hello Mark,

Did you get any further with this, and what end of the premium/ budget end are you. Looking for?

Thanks Gareth,

yes the magic tyre recommendation would have been perfect.

I was looking for pointers towards a few specific tyres in sensible brands (like Bridgestone), perhaps even ones that audi recommend.
