If you look at the owner's comments at http://www.tirerack.com you'll see that the A520 is not very highly rated. This tire has been on the market for some time and it is starting to show some signs of aging. One of the biggest complaints is the noise that the tire generates.

You might want to consider the Bridgestone Potenza RE730 which is priced similarly to the A520 but is much higher rated by owners.

As far as size is concerned, what size do you have now and what size are you considering?
