20" S-Line Rims ...need new tires..Suggestions?
My Q is approaching it's tire replacement requirements.....Still have about 6 maybe 7K miles to go but would like to get your opinion on what you guys suggest as good replacement tire...
Wants:
1. Quite
2. Traction
3. Life
Right now it has Bridgestone's and they are ok but I've got friends with Hancook or Michellin which are pretty good (not on a Q5)

Michelin Latitude are great tires.
Quiet, good on all driving conditions, and will last for a long time.
I have not owned Conti's but hear that it's good as well.

Tire Rack lists the OE Bridgestone (summer truck tire) and a Michelin Pilot Super Sport as Best Sellers with the Pilot getting better reviews. The Pilot is a maximum performance summer tire, while the OE Michelin Lattitude Sport is a summer truck tire and costs $130 more per tire. 
There are also some options from Conti, Dunlop, Goodyear, and Hankook as well but the Pilot SS gets the best reviews.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport not tire of SUV
, but for sport car Porsche, BMW M and FerrariThe difference in price is because: Pilot Super Sport made in US , Latitude Sport imports from Europe

As long as the tire meets the load requirements for the application, and the Pilot SS does, why would one need a summer truck tire over a max performance tire on a Q5?

The big difference is Acceptable Alternative Tires

Maybe Audi in cooperation with Michelin put tires Pilot SS on Q5 in the factory that the tires made for SUV/Crossover
Good luck with your choice of tires
