    No, they are great tires, I haven't tested them (yet). But I'm sure many users here are also using them and will only recommend them.

    Glad to hear you are interested in the sort of tires you are rolling on, many people tend to neglect...

    But it is the only contact you have with the road, so it is one of the most important things on a car



    This is the one currently on the MTM wheels

    Maybe the extra width is the key with the conti's.

    When you think, as you quite rightly point out it is the only contact you have with the road, that contact is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper - and you are relying on that to do everything, I am a great believer in "only the best will do" . Your life and safety depends on it. No compremise- saftey first speed second!

    Jup, maybe the extra width is what the contis need to be equally good

    It looks great though...I mean 255 is already a wide tire, but 275 on the RS6 is sheer porn imo...depending on what wheels you are on ofcourse

    This is mine with the 275 tires on MTM wheels.

    NOW THAT IS PORN!!

    I congratulate you on owning one sexy car!

    The black combo gives it even more "presence" if that is possible with the 6.
    Standard 5 spokes on mine- not for long tho I fear!!

    The stock 19" wheels look great though...

    I mainly bought the rims because I needed to go to MTM anyway for the power upgrade, I had no idea whatsoever how it would look on the car....well was I suprised when I saw it, best decision of my life

    Got any pics of your beast?

    Depends on what rims you want to have them.

    But 295, isn't that a bit too much?

    As requested by LU-RS6, a few pics of my RS6.

    I find myself going the long way home everyday, I never get fed up with driving the car, understated WOW factor, and a 911 eater to boot!
