Which are the best tyres for my 1998 Audi A6 Avant?
I have an 1998 Audi A6 quattro Avant which has done 142,000 miles, and is by far the best car I have owned. It has just had a new MOT, and an advisory item is that new tyres will be needed soon, and I have noticed that you are often quite specific about tyres to suit particular vehicles. Tyre size is 205/55 R16 91W. Which is the best to choose?

I'd go for Michelin Pilot Primacy for the blend of longevity and low rolling resistance for fuel economy. But if it's tenacious grip you're after, Yokahamas.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
