Default Summer tires

Hello all,

I need to buy new summer tires for my b7 a4 quattro.

I would like to not have to sell a kidney for them. Suggestions?

Thanks

Its not as simple as "hey I need new tires....any suggestions". It does depend on several factors such as type of driving, type of driving you want to do. performance you want, how much do you want to spend, how long do you expect the tires to last, are they for summer use only etc. etc.

I have found that tirerack.com is a great resource page to start looking. They will ask several questions and narrow your search down to what you are specifically looking for.

Good luck!!

Kumho makes some nice tires for not too much cash. Try checking these out.

My Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's have been absolutely great for me and didn't hurt the pocket too much. Might be worth a look.

I had these guys for about a month and they are pretty good. I was actually surprised at how well they handle. Some review online say they are good some that they suck. I drive pretty crazy at least half the time i drive and they do pretty damn good. they are like 75 or so a piece mind you that for my 18" 8 inch wide. For that price if you drive regularly they are awesome, I took a few on and off ramps at about 120- 140 Suggested is 60 ( i think, don't pay attention to it, i got brakes to correct my mistakes) and nothing at all, stick to the road. Just my 0.02$
