No need to replace all 4 at once - I'd rotate the rears onto the front to finish them off when you get a pair of new tyres fitted. Once the fronts are then dead again repeat the process and you've got some nicely bedded in tyres on the front that'll last longer and won't scrub tread off as readily.

Whether it makes sense to do that will depend on how close to the limit the rears are at the moment - just swapping to new tyres of the same type isn't an issue. If you're changing brand they 'may' have a different rolling radius, but again the quattro system can cope fine.

Was only the uR quattro and others around that period that needed more care, although if you have the LSD in the back end it pays to keep similar tread across the axle at all times
