Hey everyone, just wanted to see what tires would you recommend for the RS6. I want all-season tires 18''. I currently have the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, but they feel rough, and I have heard that Michelin's are pretty rough tires. Are the Conti sport Contact better or what?

Thanks

I mean I know that the Michelin A/S is like the top of the line tire, and I always loved Michelin. I have just heard from others, that maybe the Continental A/S are better.

The best all season tires are the Pirelli P Zero Nero's. Amazing traction, and long tread life 400 i think.
I have a set on my S4 and have put about 20k on them and so far they have plenty of tread left and i run 2 degrees negative camber and do lots of performance driving.
The continental tires are pretty good, but wear very fast and are pretty poor in wet traction.
Go with the Pirelli's

Oh and you can read lots of customer's reviews at the tire rack by clicking on each tire make when searching for your car.

Oh god much better than most tires i have ever driven on. The continentals in comparison have a lot more harsh ride plus the sidewall is stiffer so it doesn't have as much give.
The only other tire that has the same comfort level as the Pirelli Nero's is the Michellin Exalto all seasons.

try the bridgestone pole positions 960, outstanding traction, wear and ride.
