Tires OEM Audi or BRIDGESTONE

We have Bridgestone Ecopia tyres on our CX5. They are mid price and seem to be lasting well

I use Bridgestone pretends a sports and get 50,000 km out of them.

I just had a tire blow out on my RS6 and nothing like the article happened. You just replace the tire and reset the TPMS.

I just installed these. Might be my imagination, but they seem to be quieter than the stock tires. The acceleration while turning seems to be better than the stock. There’s less of a slip and sticks to the ground well.

Bridgestone Sports are very good. I have Azenis on my other car and feel that they are just slightly under it in grip. Which is more than I need for street driving

Just got Bridgestone dueler a/t ascent. Very happy with them so far, pretty quiet on pavement for an all terrain tire

True that, I also had Alnac 4G tyres then changed to Yokohama Blue Earth they offered great performance however the noise suppression wasn't much, slightly better if only, but they offered really good grip.

Now changed to Bridgestone Turanza 6i and they are extremely silent, no noise at all, wind noise is audible only after crossing 80kmph. Although grip was they are more or less same as Yokohama Bluearth.

But these are expensive paid 11.5k for each tyre - 205/55/16 size.

We swapped in snow tires (blizzaks) and took a 20% efficiency hit, so your reported 33% is definitely worse but still in the same ballpark.

TLDR; I had to replace my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks within 5 months and 7,000 miles with 2 tire rotations and balances in between. I opted to go with Michelin instead.

I've had my Mazda 3 turbo for 20k miles now and in that time, 2 of the Turanza tires had sidewall bubbles that compromised them. Not to mention, they are just noisy and feel like they have pretty lame grip. They are not confidence-inspiring at all and suck in the cold.
