I have the Vredestein sportrac3 on the A4 and Toyo T1-R on the Cq and in the wet they are not much different, but in the dry the Toyo's grip far better,
Have tried virtually all makes of tyre on the Cq in my 18years of ownership and the Toyo's suit it better than any of them. Goodyear F1 GS1-D3 are better again but the price is much higher though still buy these for my Passat sport in 225 width and you have to be going insane speeds to loose grip in the dry.
The Vredestein also squeal much earlier on corners when pushed, not something I have experienced at all with the GoodyearF1 tyres at MUCH higher speeds. Only downside of the Toyo is they wear down pretty quick. The sportrac3 however have lasted 3 years on the A4. Depends where your priorities lie I guess...
