Audi A7 Sportback Tires

Here at SimpleTire, our team has reviewed the catalog and selected some of the best premium all-season, all-season UHP, summer, and winter tires for your Audi A7 Sportback, then ranked them in Best/Great/Good order. We then used our SimpleScore system to determine a numerical value for each tire's traction, longevity, and handling categories. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:

1. Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate - Best UHP Tire

Let’s get this list going with a premium UHP tire, and here’s one that consistently has been making a good impression on us: the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate, a tire that drivers everywhere have come to know and appreciate for its exceptional performance. Goodyear designed the Eagle Exhilarate’s tread formulation with a high silica content that enhances wet-weather grip and wear properties and a tread pattern incorporating five ribs and wide circumferential grooves. We gave the Eagle Exhilarate a top-notch SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction thanks to its dense pattern of sipes and circumferential and lateral/angled grooves. Cornering, braking distances, driver feedback, and responsiveness are also admirable, thanks to a flat, square footprint optimized to maintain the most rubber in contact with the road. Reinforced shoulders and a rigid tread face help mitigate the squirm and deformation that result from the inertia and G-forces of hard cornering. The internal construction of the Eagle Exhilarate is designed for stability and durability at high speeds, with a polyester casing with lightweight, high-tensile steel belts. Road manners and ride comfort are also quite good thanks to two layers of polyamide reinforcement plies. SimpleTire rang up a SimpleScore of 8.6 for longevity. Goodyear covers the Eagle Exhilarate with a 45,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. That is a little remarkable when you remember that most UHP and summer tires don’t offer a mileage warranty.

2. Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 - Best Winter Tire

For Audi A7 Sportback drivers who live in areas that experience harsh winters – the kind where an all-season tire is just not going to be capable of safely getting you where you need to go and back again – there’s the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3. Sottozero translates from Italian as “below zero,” this tire comes complete with Pirelli’s long-standing reputation for quality, engineering, and performance. The Sottozero 3’s innovative tread compound is designed with a unique blend of polymers, so it stays flexible and pliable for dependable traction in subfreezing weather. Arrow-shaped blocks in the directional winter tread pattern and rounded shoulders that are dense with grooves channel l water and slush from the contact patch to help resist any tendency toward hydroplaning. 3D sipes multiply grip with thousands of extra biting edges to dig in and deliver traction in snow and slush for a SimpleScore rating of 9.8. Internally, the Winter Sottozero 3 from Pirelli is designed for durability, ride quality, and stability with two steel belts and a spiral-wrapped polyamide layer. The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service.

These are all great options for premium tires for your Audi A7 Sportback, but we’re not finished yet. Here are a couple more excellent tires for you to think about:

3. Falken Azenis FK460 A/S - Great UHP All-Season Tire

Here at SimpleTire, our team has been impressed with almost everything in the Falken line for some time now, and the Azenis FK460 A/S is no exception. The Falken Azenis FK460 A/S is a tire that gives you peace of mind and has a consistent grip in all kinds of weather with its advanced 4D nano tread compound. While the performance and traction of most tires decrease as tread depth wears down, the innovative Emerging Grooves system of the Azenis FK460 A/S is designed so the grooves open up and expand for extended performance. The Canyon Groove design and circumferential grooves with chamfered edges deliver tenacious performance in wet or wintry conditions, working as a system to provide the grip you need. SimpleScore for traction: 8.6. Falken covers the Azenis FK460 A/S with a 50,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty (Thanks in part to the wear-resistant properties of that 4D Nano tread compound), rating a SimpleScore of 9.1 for longevity. Steering response, cornering, road manners, and braking performance are all direct and accurate with this tire, for a SimpleScore of 8.8 for handling. We should also mention that the Azenis FK460 A/S is refined and quiet on the highway, with acoustically tuned grooves to cancel certain frequencies and cut wind noise, keeping road noise to a minimum.

4. Toyo Proxes Sport A/S - Good All-Season Tire UHP

Here at the SimpleTire team, we've known for some time that Toyo products offer great value, and the Proxes Sport A/S is right up there with the rest of Toyo’s line in that regard. The Proxes A/S Sport is designed to offer all-season, year-round performance along with quick, responsive steering, short braking distances, and good cornering ability. Our SimpleScore for traction is a solid 8.9, thanks to multi-wave sipes, angled grooves, and circumferential grooves that work together for enhanced grip on wet, dry, or snowy pavement. Handling is another area where this tire is a standout, thanks to a contact patch that’s optimized to put the most rubber in contact with the road, a specialized rib design, and a silica-rich tread compound (SimpleScore: 9.1). The Proxes Sport is covered by a 40,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty, enough to register a SimpleScore of 8.3 for longevity.
