does anybody use different tire than goodyear?

I find the factory Goodyear EfficientGrip too stiff — every road imperfection is felt very clearly through the car. It’s a homologated tire, marked AO, meaning Audi Original.

Has anyone switched to a different type of tire? Which one worked well for you?

I tried the Toyo Proxes Comfort. It was indeed more comfortable, but at higher speeds it caused a noticeable side-to-side vibration through the steering wheel, so I switched back to the Goodyears.

However, they’re not very comfortable. Does anyone else find that road bumps and imperfections are felt this strongly with the Scala?

Which country are you in? Would all-season tyres not suit you? How about saying what size tyres you have on, and what Speed & load rating they are, & are the XL (Reinforced) Also what tyre pressure you set at? There is a tyre / wheel section on Briskoda.

I didn't know.

I'm from Hungary.

So far, I’ve only tried the factory Goodyear, which is homologated, and the standard Toyo. I noticed that Nexen also has homologated tires. Do you guys take the AO marking into consideration when choosing tires?

Nope I pay absolutely no attention to the homologation / AO etc. markings.

I simply look at reviews an find something that fits my requirements then buy it at a price that suits. Here in the UK next to the Pennines that has generally meant a tyre that prioritises wet-weather performance over dry grip and over the past few years given the need to deal with snow on a fairly regular basis through winter, has meant All Season Tyres.

what do you use?
