Tires OEM Audi or BRIDGESTONE
We run Bridgestone Blizzak and they are amazing, the car is a beast in the snow with them on.
Blizzak is the king for studless snow traction, I think Michelin X-Ice is a little better on ice, Continental VikingContact is another great option for a little less $$$. I'm currently on Vredestein Wintrac+ (something like that) and they're fine.
I\u2019ve had the Bridgestone S23 and they lastet 3k miles. Best 3k miles I\u2019ve ridden but def not the best mileage.
After switching to Bridgestone Weatherpeak All-Weather tires i get 8.1 as the lowest. 29-30MPG.
Pirelli Rosso IV's or Bridgestone S23 are probably the best 2 sport focused tires on the market right now that arent sports touring like the Mich Road 6's. I have S23's on my MT09 (came stock, and have since been replaced with a new set)
We had a really bad storm and the Bridgestone did fine on unplowed roads.
Drove the car in the snow storm over the weekend. Did not feel safe with the summer tires on. Also, front windshield wipers froze. Had to pull over twice to scrape the ice off the front windshield. Otherwise a nice SUV. Comfortable and very powerful. Time will tell about the reliability. Cheers
Your best mileage will come from a low rolling resistance tire. I use Ecopias by Bridgestone. I had Weatherpeaks on before that and had noticeably worse fuel efficiency (8-10 mpg difference.)
Tires are the most important thing. The Bridgestone Ecopias that came on my Overland were useless in snow. I was slipping and sliding in 2”.
My 22 came with Bridgestone ecopias. Worst snow performance ever.
