Original tyre in the new a3 sportback dsg diesel 170 hp. What can I say – hard tyre, but it’s probably normal with the 40 profile. Lately I had winter tyres with 45 profile and these were harder (strange) - predictable tyre. I’ve never had any problems with traction and a small audi doesn’t belong to slow cars – no problems on wet surface unless the tyre has a tread – surprising thing is a durability, one piece I pierced 4 times and I had no money so I kept repairing it - after 18 600 miles, while changing for the winter ones, it turned out that the tyre is bald so it wears down which I think is the standard because 350 torque of 2 tdi definitely gives them a hard time. - At the moment I’m buying 2 pieces for the front axle - RE050A at a price of 100GBP. I rather won’t buy nothing better.

I need to verify my previous negative rating for the tyres, this time for plus. After driving a few thousand miles I can say that this tyre is really good. For dry it is sensational, keeps incredibly as a sport hard tyre. Precision of steering is great. After the change from winter tyres - 225/45/17 Dunlop Sport 3D , now I see the difference in sticking to the road and driving. And what’s interesting, now even high hardness of the tyre does not bother me. Fuel consumption also normal. I recommend!
