I replaced Michelin Pilot Sports with Conti Sport Contact 5s on our A6 and they actually seem quieter than the Michelins. Cost less that's for sure. Slightly better feedback that you're running out of grip in wet/cold conditions which translates as not feeling quite as sure footed as the Michelins in give and take weather but neither ever really reached their limit

Overall would be happy with either

If you can get the Goodyears in the correct load and speed index for the car then I'd consider them - had them on the a6 before the Michelins and they wore funny on the front and didn't last long. I think the sidewall was too stiff thanks to higher load index than Audi quote and didn't work well on the A6 as a result
