I have a set of these on my wife's A6 and they're pretty good. I had a
chance to compare them back to back on my S6 with my NRWs in the same size
and I do have to say that the NRWs were *better* in the dry as far as
handling goes, which surprised me. And better in the snow.

But the 5000s are a pretty good tire overall.
