Just bought a new tires for my b7 235 45 17r. The DWS conti's went 57k. 3 tires looked great and one was worn down to the wear bars. I agressively rotate and balance my tires every 5k with alignment. The new tires i got were made by Yokohama. I paid 635 bucks for all 4. it is a 60k warranty tire. i hope they hold thru till the warranty expires. IF not NTB will be giving me a deal on the new set :-) I hope this information is helpful. i drive like an old man usually.

 

I have 36,000 miles on my DWS.They are still in good shape as I rotate every 7-10 thousand.Been looking at new tire reviews as I will probably need them in the spring.
Am leaning towards Pirelli Cinturato P7 as they were on a loaner '12 A4 I had last year and was impressed with their performance(could have been the newer car).
Good luck with the Yokohomas,never owned a set or known anyone to own them.
If anyone out there has them(Yokohama or Pirelli P7)on their car,let me know what you think,good or bad!!

 

the factory set had pirelli's on it. i liked the tires but werent available at my tire store...sadlly.

 

The P7s look amazing. They are supposedly the replacement for the P6 (OEM tire), but with a treadwear warranty (if purchased from certain places). They weren't available in the size I needed for my A4 quattro yet when I bought tires earlier in the year, so I went with some Nitto Motivos that the Discount Tire guy recommended. So far, they're holding up nicely and perform well and they have a nice long treadwear warranty if they wear out too fast.

 

Thanks for the feedback King!Do you encounter snow where you are?
And sorry to hear you drive like an old man Phoshate,although it will assure you of a LONG
car life.And those tires should wear SLOWLY......
Happy Motoring!!
