Default Time for new tires, looking for advice

Nice looking forum - glad you guys are here.

My wife and I have been anjoying Audi's for several years now. Started back in 1990 with an A4 then bought several A6's (could never afford the A8) and two years back we picked up the Q7 -- love it !

However, at 20,500 miles on the Q7 and it needs tires already, is that usual? we do a lot of local driving day to day, not a lot of highway.

It came with Continental's 255/55/R18 we are interested in all season tires only - any suggestions on what tires to go with ?

No thank you. I was looking for experianced advice, this forum is not working for me on this topic. I can't be the only person researching tires for the Q7.

Anyone stumbles here in the future - after a fair amount of research I have decided to go with the Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza, they are about $180 per tire (255/55/18)
tested very well - with SUV's ranging in the 60K-75K mile range in terms of tire life. The original tires only lasted 20K miles, unacceptable.

your attitude gets a 1 out of 10 in my book. Call the dealership and ask them what tires they reccomend if you want 'experienced' advice. Tires?? This guys talking about tires!?
