I always miss all the excitement. I just got back to college after an 8 hour drive yesterday, and I get a call from my dad this morning saying that he hit an unexpected pothole that was the result of the floods yesterday, and popped BOTH his right tires. He said he might just be able to remount them, but he drove a good mile or two extra to get home so they might be damaged. If he can't, he's going to need to get new tires, and he wanted me to help him. He wants really good all-season tires. He's got a 2005 Audi A6 3.2 Quattro. He's looking for the best handling tires for rain/snow/dry ground that he can get without spending a fortune. We've noticed many cars with Continental ContiProContact tires... so maybe those? If not - any suggestions?

Yokohama? They're fairly cheap compared to the rest, very highly rated for grip in the rain (especially under braking) and good on the road. The only thing is they don't last all that long... and the A6 is a heavy truck.

I would check the wheels too for damage. Also you might want to check the alignment.

Yeah. He's going to be doing all of that.

the same as the rest of the tires, I wouldn't drive two different sets on left/right..

He wants to get four new tires, so they don't have to necessarily be the same brand. He just want's to know what people recommend.
