I looking at buying a set of tires for 2007 A4 Quattro 2.0T and I'm looking at Yokohama and Sumitomo. I'm not a speeder or drag racer, I just need a set of all season tires that aren't going to kill my wallet. My A4 came with a brand new set of Atrezzo brand tires that I'd never heard of, 11,000 miles and they've got about as much tread as a bologna skin. No wonder they came free. We get a little snow and it's mostly dry with a few rainstorms hence the all season tires.

I'm looking at the Yokohama AS530 and the Sumitomo HTR A/S P01 tires. I'll be getting them from NTB as it's the only place in our small town and the next closest is 75 miles or so away. These 2 are what the NTB recommended. It seems that a few here have owned the Sumitomos and were liked well enough. The Yokohama's I haven't found mentioned though? Any help would be great, and thanks in advance!

Kumho ecsta pa31 if you're either 18 or 17 pretty sure you're 18's
Best overall rating, better than the bigger names including yoko, perelli, and contitnental and best for your money. Sumitomos are cheap, but I'm pretty sure they only offer summer tires. They weren't bad,but they don't last long.

I get my tires mailed to me and mounted by tirekingdom/ntb for ten bucks each.

It depends on where you live, but if you are in a colder part of the country Continental ExtremeContact DWS all the way. For the money you cannot go wrong.

Look at the customer ratings on TireRack to see what other drivers think of them. If you don't ever see snow these will still work, but some of the other All season "warmer" tires may be better suited.
