I don't do very many miles in my 2014 A3 1.8 TFSi quattro, just done about 21K miles in five and a half years. As such, I'm still on my original tyres, which were manufactured in November 2013. They're Continental ContiSport Contact 5s in 225/45R17.
Although they have about 4mm tread left on them, I'm wondering if I should be thinking about changing them for age, but also for noise. They've always been very noisy tyres and I'm hoping there are quieter alternatives. Wear is not as issue as you can see - they're likely to be the only new set of tyres I'll be putting on the car.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
