I just put the conti viking contacts back on the s5 last week, and I need to get some winter tires for the sq5, I think I'm going with the sumitomo ice edge as we had them with the old a4 and they went through anything. I'll probably put them back on the s5 next year. We're in NH and go up north all lot for riding, plus we get decent snow and they're great for the $. Then it's wheel shopping for the sq5 for next year! It's so nice and easy to swap out winter/ summer wheels and tires.
Audi S5 parts reviews
Aren't the Continentals OEM? They came on my 2010 S5 and I've stuck with them for the past 120k miles, year round, with no issues.
Pirelli All Seasons are some of the worst in the category. By contrast the DWS06 have been my go to for A/S tires and are excellent in the dry and rain. Hard to go wrong unless you're expecting to use them in the snow frequently.
I've been running the Continentals on my current S5, the S3 before that and the GLI before that. Everyone will have different opinions, but I love them. Excellent dry traction, good wet, decent snow. I run my S5 once a year at a track and they do great there too.
Got quoted 3k CAD for pads/rotors, bought Zimmerman drilled and brembo ceramics for 1500 and did them myself. Took 4 hrs taking my time, very simple job if you have the means to do it yourself
Change out the pads for ceramic pads like Akebono, they should be quieter and less brake dust.
Got my oil changed about a week again (LiquiMoly 5w40) and now I’m getting this warning saying my oil level is too high.
I own a 2021 S5 with around 55k miles on it, bought it with around 50k miles on it. Only issue is that the water pump did fail and coolant migrated into the vacuum system which is a ridiculously common failure on these cars.
I had this happen 200 miles from home. $7 a mile to have it towed home.
My Audi s5 back then had the v8, and around 43-45000 mi I had to swap mine out
