I am looking to replace the summer tires on my 1987 Audi 5000 Quattro. Size is P205 60 15. My Continental CZ91 tires are down to 2/32" and although I loved these, they are not offered in this size anymore.
I have narrowed the search to either Bridgestone RE71 or a z rated Pirelli P6000. Although cost isn't a big factor, I am hesitant to pay over 50% more for the Pirellis than the Bridestones if there is no difference in performance. The Pirelli does look like a newer, more high tech tire (is it any different than the H speed rated version, which is priced the same as the Bridgestone?) Thanks for your help.
