I use them on my C7 S6 in winter. Also had a set of winters for my B7 S4 cab.
Love them.
Pros: love these tires
Vehicle:
Audi S6
These have been my go to winter tires for years. Even when worn past the winter compound portion of the tread they are predictable and confidence inspiring in snow. Better than any Bridgestone blizzak or Michelin alpine tire I’ve owned. All having been used in DEEP snow conditions.
Pros: predictable, confidence inspiring

I owned a 2009 4.2L V8 S5, had to get a new water pump & housing. euro specialty shop did it for me for ~$700.
Pros: euro specialty shop
Cons: water pump failure
Vehicle:

Since acquiring my A6, it’s had everything done in dealer. I recently got my brakes done by a friend who has a shop near my job. However, doesn’t mention that he slapped Akenono pads on the car. These Akebono pads are spanking new and they’re sooooooooooooo loud. I drove it around for a week or so, sound is still there. Took it back to him, he “sanded” something and now the car makes a god awful squeak/groan when lightly applying the brakes lmao. What’s crazy is that I’ve used Akebono in my E46 and my Mini and never had this problem. Anywho, the car stops perfectly, just fucking loudly lol.
Pros: stops perfectly
Cons: loud squeak/groan
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Since Audi clearly makes water pumps on presumably a $50 3d printer, would it make any sense at all to buy an upgraded one, metal or whatever won’t do whatever oem ones love to, and preemptively change out ?
Cons: poor OEM quality, prone to failure

I had mine done on my 2018 S4 from an Audi dealer in PA. Cost me $3,928 total. They replaced the water pump and hoses, coolant regulating valve, vacuum control valves and lines, and the serpentine valve. The water pump is what failed and took everything else with it.
Cons: water pump failed, took other parts
Vehicle:
Audi S4
