Dunno if you should be replacing just a pair on a Quattro.I usually did all 4 at a time. Goodyear Eagle F1 were the best, especially when made in Germany. Then they went to Chinese manufacture, and they weren't too bad. Latest set I got were made in Thailand and I think they feel like crapaltho they're getting better as they wear. Can't help you with a middle range tyre.
Try Yokohama A Drive, they're around $145 for a 185/70/15. Have had them on several cars and find they last the distance. Chalked up over 30,000km on the last set.

Try The GT Raidal 128 or VP1 if you can them and should be around $140-$150 a tyre or Falken ZE912 and they should be around $170 mark

Dz101 had them on my rwd skyline n even in wet holds quite well but not the most quiet tire but certainly took a while to chew through em. Toyos r apparently quite good. Else get dome decent 2nd hsnds still with decent thread for cheap.

My local garage (with which I have dealt for 20 years) recommended Kelly for my VN wagon.
He said they are a good, all-round tyre, and at $120 each for 205/65/15 a good price (fitted & balanced).
Good luck, tyres are very much personal preference.

Bit of a difference betweena Quattro and a VN.I don't think I'd like to use 2 different tyre types on a Quattro nor would I be useing "cheepies".Find a good tyre shop and ask.Try a few places, chances are you wil find a tyre that most recommend.Tell em you dont mind if they have to "buy them in" that gets away from the "we've got these in stock so they will do" attitude.

205/60/15 is such a common size tyre phone around tyre shops and get some prices.

Direzza DZ101 are a great tyre, as well as Toyo T1R's or Proxes4 . all 3 tyres are pretty cheap, around the $150-180 per tyre area

Tz700. Great tyre Or supercats, they are a good mid range tyre. go into your local firestone. They will sort you out with a good price.

Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max is an excellent tyre for both economical driving and performance.We have them on both my daughters cars and handle extremely well in the wet and the dry roads.
