Tyres
I have an Audi A3 2.0 TFSI quattro which was new in Sept 2009. The car is fitted with 225/40/R18 92Y Continental Sport Contact 2 tyres which after covering 19,000 miles will soon need replacing. Can you please recommend an alternative brand of tyre which will give me good levels of dry and wet weather grip together with better wear at a reasonable price.

Switch to 16-inch or 17-inch wheels with deeper profile Michelin Pilot Primacy or Goodyear Excellence tyres.

Good choice of engines. Some petrol engines now chain cam. Comfortable and well built interior. cheap to run 1.6 TDI. Feels very refined especially on the motorway.
