Default I liked them except for...
the vibration at 60-70MPH that we could not solve. Road force balanced, remounted and rebalanced twice, 3 of 4 were out of round. A couple also had side to side wobble, even after remounting them on the rims.

Luckily for me, Tire Rack was great and took them back and gave me full credit. Replaced them with Pirelli PZeroNero M&S, which were silky smooth.

Default I like them, have 6k on set of them on a TT. but...
My tire guy said they get out of round as they wear. After 8-10k miles, they have a rep for causing vibration.

I am seriously considering them for the A6, but am going to wait to see how they are on the TT after 9 or 10k miles.
