Pirrelli P zero summer, orNERO allseasons. Michellin Pilot sports are also excellent tires.
If you want to go german rubber get Continental sport contact 2 tires.

If you are looking for summer tires read my reveiw it is for an A4 but I know these tires also work great on a Z06 vette.

RE: Best Tires for 2003 A8

My personal preference, for all-season, are teh Falken Ze-512's. They're UHPAS (Ultra-High-Performance-All-Season) tires, and about the best price you will find for V-, W-, or Z-rated rubber. If you go with the Falkens, my (over 10-years of) experience with them tells me to run them anywhere from 6-10lbs OVER the auto manufactures recommended tire pressure, for best wear, performance, handling, etc. Personally, I don't think anybody makes a better all-season (rain, snow, ice, dry) tire at anything less than 3x the price. Oh, and make SURE you rotate them either every oil change, or around 5000-miles, depending on personal preference, for maximum wear.
