Mine came with Perelli S9 or somethign like that. It was a good tire, but
crappy in the wet. Replaced them with Continental ContiExtremeContact
(tirerack.com) Much quieter and great grip in wet and snow. Cheers

I'm using 225/40R18 Yokohama Advan S.4. on a 3.2L A3. They're sloppier
than the stock Pirelli P-Zero Rosso but they still grip well wet and
dry. The S.4. has the advantage of being a quiet, comfortable,
all-season tire with a much better tread life. The downside is that the
S.4. are expensive.

One thing to watch out for is the load rating. Audis are grossly
overweight cars. Upgraded rims make it even harder to find tires with a
high enough load rating.
