Can anyone recommend a particular all season tire from Bridgestone, Michelin or BF Goodrich?

Must be one of those three because they are carried by my favourite tire shop.

I prefer a tire more suited to summer use. I have winter wheels/tires that I changeover each season. The reason I don't get dedicated summer tires is because the car is not used for anything but mundane family driving so I don't need the performance and cost.

Shop likes Bridgestone Potenza RE950 but I wanted to hear from Audi owners.

Thanks.

Falken 512's: 225-55-17 $100.00.. The best AS HP!

I like them a lot. Not ultra performance but grippy enough for me. They're very quiet and very good in the rain if that's a concern for you. I also drove them twice in Tahoe snow storms. I'm at the end of life of my first set which lasted about 30kmi. They're also much cheaper than comparable Michelins.

dry, wet or even light snow performance tire. Also very quit and comfortable. I had these on an A4. I now have an A6 with Toyo Proxes 4's. The Toyo's are nice also, but I prefer the Pilot A/S's. They are expensive, but that is a little deceptive since they have a tread ware rating of 400.

Same here, excellent tire and worth every penny IMO.

The Michelin A/S, despite reports of recent quality issues is the obvious choice, but I will also suggest a good alternative.

If you are one those of us with a mind for sport driving in the dry, the new release M+S rated Toyo Proxes 4 is one of the stiffest sidewall construction M+S rated tires I have found. This is the secret element missing in 99% of M+S rated tires, the Michelin Pilot A/S being the only other exception to my knowledge. (Please share your personal experience on this issue!)

All other M+S tires I have driven shake like a bowl of Jell-o. The sidewalls are just not stiff enough. This greatly affects braking stability and turn-in compared to "high performance summer tires". Yet the Proxes 4 is smooth riding and relatively quite as high performance tires go.

The M+S Proxes 4 gives up some ultimate grip compared to the T1-s or say Bridgestone S-03 due to its colder weather type rubber compound, but that is about all I complain about in the dry.

Just food for thought.
