Default Ripping the OEM Tires off the B7.....

If memory serves me correctly, the OEM tires on my ride are Goodyear Eagle LS2's....They suck.

The size is 235/45/17.

I like the stock wheels that come with it, so I'm not changing them to 18's or 19's.

(THESE)



......But the tires themselves have gotta' go.

Anyone have recommendations for a great grippy tire to throw on the Quattro?
I had Kumho Ecsta's (6.5 outta' 10) and Yokohama AVS ES100's (8.5 outta' 10) on my BMW, but
not sure if there's a better tire or value for for the B7's. In order of requirement: Grip, then road noise, then tread life.
If they're gone in 10k miles, then that means I was putting them to good use.

Help if you can. Thanks if you do.

p.s. PLEASE don't say Conti's. I would rather drive on the bare rim.

How 'bout we go halves and you got a deal?
I was thinking something a little more, "budget friendly"

I've always had great luck with Bridgestones. And that's what I go with when I have a choice. As soon as my new wheels get here, I have a set of 235/35ZR19 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions waiting to go on my A4. You should be able to find those fairly easily for around a buck and a half.

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS PP

I've always like Bridgestone Potenzas, really good grip, better than stock anyways. These will be my next tires, these stock Contis sucks cheese
