Audi parts reviews
I have a set of Quatrac Pros on my Audi. I like them. TireRack reviews of them are great. And the sidewall is cool.
I've enjoyed them on my RS3 last winter. Much better than ice & snow Blizzaks, but this is my first experience with a performance winter tire.
Changed air filter (Mann) oil filter (Mann) and oil, Liqui Moly Molygen 5w40. it's only VW 502 00 'recommended' but that shouldn't be an issue, plan to oil-change every 7k KMs.
the 80c has been running flawless. Only difference is that my coolant stays at 83-94c. It used to get as high as 100 sometimes. Also the 80c part was recommended oe part #
I run the 5w-40 in my 2004 Audi A8 and both of my power strokes just because it's handy and the diesel grade oil is overall better than the other synthetic I was running in a 0w-40 weight.
I've had really good times with my Toyo Observe snow tires on my Audi. I don't really notice the noise from them and they are great in everything but straight ice.
i had them on my A6. I thought they were pretty good. would buy again.
There are a few almost guarantees. 1) intake manifold change over flaps. they will disintegrate. Only fix at the moment is new manifold for 1800.
They are very squirmy tires, a poor choice for a sporty car IMO. I have a set of Michelin PA4 snows that are definitely better dry performers than the DWS. I purchased the DWS once for an Audi A4, but I returned them in less than a week.
