Dad needs new summer tires for his A8L....

[Snipps]

My dad is looking for some decent but not too expensive summers for his A8L. on stock 19s. I believe they are 255/40/19. He was originally going to just get a set of P6's since that is what Audi throws on, but the since he has Blizzaks for the winter he decided to go for a summer tire instead. What is the best summer tire that's not too expensive. Yes, i know, he has an A8L he can spend a little more for better tires, but he doesn't want to spend a lot so please just give me some of the less expensive btu still very good choices. Thanks.

if that is still too expensive

S.Drive is the least "aggressive" summer tire, and should last a little longer than the Kumho (but don't expect more than 20K miles). Kumho's would also be a little noisier as they get older.
