I currently have a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE 71s on my 1987 Audi 5000 Quattro, same 205-60 15 size you are looking at. I can confirm that this is a good, true high performance tire for the money. This tire has been around for quite some time, and a good alternate tire would be the Dunlop SP8000s. However, they don't make this tire in our size.
About the only other summer high performance tire in this size would be the Michelin Pilot SX-GT. But this tire will cost you 50% more than the Bridgestone RE 71s. If you are going to keep your 95 Quattro, this would not be a bad choice either. Please leave the Cooper tires to Paul Harvey and the Park Ave. Ultras. Thanks and good luck.
