I got ~13,000miles on my last set on the A8L - they were Nexen N8000.
They were a soft compound though. I rotated them front to back once about half way through their life.

anyone noticed the new tyre stickers giving performance details ?
frankly the competition from the east is starting to become serious , and I am now more open to other than premium brands I judge on wet road performance and noise levels , far more important than mileage in my view , not bothered so much about mileage or things like performance on snow ...benefit of retirement and low mileage !

....which is fine as long as the information on the regulatory label is genuine. There have been cases where supposedly identical tyres have had random printed labels applied.
I will still stick with known manufacturers purely because, as a manufacturing engineer, I don't trust the quality control or regulatory processes in some of these countries to be fit for purpose. The difficulty is that you can't really tell which are meeting them genuinely and which are potentially fraudulent, or just crap!

If you drive an A4 hard like you suggest your other half does then it can eat front tyres. I had an A4 2.0tdi for a while and it used to scrabble badly when pulling hard away from junctions - especially on loose surfaces. Lots of torque and little control. Quattro gives much better distribution of traction.
