I now have 10,000 miles on my A7 and the tire pressure experience has truly surprised me. The car came from the dealer at 38/41. Since I usually drive alone, I insisted on setting to the lower number...

I recommend the Yokohama Advan Sport A/S. The design is not unlike the Michelin AS 3 but they are very quiet and a much better buy, too. I'm going on 8,000 miles with them on my A7 and they are...

Yokohama Advan Sport A/S tire pressure

I have the 19s and am so happy I got the Yokohoma Advan Sport UHP tires.

I started with 36/32 because I'm usually alone in the car. MUSHY and soft making the tires ride totally uninspired and...

No, that's not it, unfortunately. The feature is on. But it no longer engages. We have had a wide range of weather in the past two weeks with highs up all the way into the 80s, and lows down to the...

The Start/Stop feature STOPPED

I have actually gotten to like the Start/Stop feature that shuts down the engine at lights.

However, in the past two weeks it refuses to engage. It never kicks in. Not even once.

The weather...

As mentioned above, I've been running at the lower of the two Audi recommended pressures but didn't think handling was up to the level of the excellent Yokohama Advan Sport A/S tires I recently...

I ordered my A7 with 19s and no sports package. Ride is compliant, still sporty. I found the 20s too harsh although the non sports package is much softer than with. Also to be factored in is tires,...

Not a fan. Doesn't match the clean lines of the car well. Even though I got rid of my 10 spoke standard 19" wheels that came with the car, I like these less. I did get complements on the original...

I've been thinking about this recently and ready to add more air. Since I'm normally alone, I've set the tire pressure to the lesser amounts above. However, I find that the car isn't cornering up to...

The stock 20s are too ornate for the clean lines of the A7 for my taste, much like the stock 19s. I swapped the stock wheels for the peeler style, which was the original style shown when the car was...

I hated it at first but quickly got used to it. When in traffic at lights that look like they'll change soon I keep my foot lightly on the brake so it is far less likely to engage. It's pretty easy...

If you didn't like the A7 the first time around, chances are you won't find a meaningful difference. Why not wait for a full redesign? By 2016, it's already the 5th year of the inaugural A7 (which I...

Michelin A/S 3 vs. Hankook Advan Sport A/S : Noise and Ride Comfort
