Default Tire recommendations for A6QW?

Anyone have a favorite brand & style of 16" tires that run well on the A6QW? I'm leaning toward Pirelli P6000's, but hesitate because in my experience, they don't last very long.

TIA, Stanley

What is your goal and budget?
P6000 are summer/grand touring tires. If you looking for summer performace tires, I would recomend Dunlop 8000e. If you looking for all season tires - Dunlop A2, Dunlop 5000 or Michelin PilotSport A/S. The Michelin are very expencive, but have the best performance.

Now I use Dunlop 5000. They have very good grip on dry/wet and snow. But they somewhat "floaty" because of the soft sidewall. Again if you want better performance - you should look in dadicated summer solution.

Tirerack.com has the very good tire guide. If you will decide to buy throught them, I would suggest to call Edie@tirerack - he sponsors audiworld website and we want to support this website.

Dunlop SP Sport A2 or 5000 are the best all-seasons out there.
