I have them on my 2019 Audi A4. We often have clear roads in the winter here in Boston, so I buy performance winter tires. The Wintracs have been excellent. They are fairly quiet and they handle well in all of the winter conditions that I’ve encountered.
I tried the Michelin Cross Climate 2 in the snow lately and they grip great (AWD A4) and better yet, they stop great too. Would buy again A+++
Use better oil and change every 5k My Audi S6 would go through a quart every 5k That's when I change the oil -- Mobile 1 --extended 15k oil - Ive put 90k miles on it in the past 10 years it still runs strong!
The rear brake wear on the B9 SQ5 is a known thing. The programming for stability control is super aggressive on applying the rear brakes on turns to keep the rear of the car planted so the rear pads wear down fast if you are even just a moderately spirited driver. The rear pads on my SQ5 only lasted 17k before reaching 2mm
I have the Pilot A/S 3+ on my A5. Love them. Had them on my Golf R too. I'm generally a diehard Michelin tire guy, but the improvement of the DWS06+ over the Pilot Sport AS4 might make me switch were I need tires today.
I have the Conti, corners well, good traction, pretty loud.
The AP Racing kit was installed with a set of Ferodo DS2500s in the front and stock OEM pads installed fresh in the rear.
Threw new plugs in it (NGK BKR7E; I like that 3 of my cars run these now... makes life simple)
FWIW - I used EBC yellows with S3 single piston calipers on the track with both my A3 and now my TT. The EBC usually only lasted one track weekend, prone to brake fad, and ate up the rotors (both stock and StopTech) pretty bad. I have Pagid RSL29 now on the front (with EBC rotors), and they are fantastic on the track. I didnt realize how much the yellows under-performed until I got the Pagids. Just passing it along...
I've had NT05's on my TT and they lasted one season, and I couldn't drive in the rain.
