All season tire recommendation

**rungziggy** · 09-27-2016 09:28 PM

I'm looking to get some 20" wheels for my A6. I'm wondering what type of all season tires everyone is using here in the rainy PNW.

Continental DSW but I think they discontinued them and now are Continental 06 something now.

FWIW, I snagged a second set of cheap wheels and rotate between winter/summer. Finishing my 3rd summer on Bridgestone Potenza RE970 AS and entering 3rd winter on General Altimax Arctic. 970 probably would have worked as all-season, but I spend a lot of time in the mountains. Depends on what your application is. Also never heard a poor review of the Continental.

I found a cheap set of OEM winter wheels off an S7 on Craigslist that I use for my winter set.

They are listed here: Audi Winter Wheel & Tire Packages (2014-2015 season)

Personally, I wouldn't use a nice set of 20's during the winter because they are likely to get beat up. I would buy a second set of alright 18's or 19's and use those.

DWS06 is what most of the S4 guys like running.

I use the DWS06 on my 325xi wagon and I absolutely LOVE them. Best-performing tire in the rain that I have had personal experience with. I also had Pilot A/S 3 on my old allroad, they were pretty good as well, but didn't do great in several inches of snow. Can't say I've been in the snow with the DWS06 since I have a dedicated studless winter set for this car - which is truly the ideal setup if you plan to hit the mountain or drive through the passes a lot.
