Sorry I meant that my car originally came with the Continental Procontact TX tires and not the DWS. I would never put the DWS on any of my cars. They are too flimsy and soft and tend to get out of round easily. I currently have the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 tires and I love it. They transform the car and make it tighter and more responsive with a great ride feel.

I'm starting to get excited now, hoping that this car will have a significantly better ride!

Thanks for your input!

So, we're all left wondering whatever happened to the OP and his potential 2012 A7 ownership. Heh NR, what did you find out from the dealer with regards to either the sports pkg/tire pressures issues or both? Did you go take another test drive after all our inputs?

what about the suspension settings? maybe all You need to do is put it into the comfort mode? Im riding the 20" 265/35 in central Europe and trust me, the roads are BAD BAD BAD here, but still it handles them well (I was so afraid when buying what it will be like).. now Im wondering if I could stay with them also during winter (just change the tier for winter one) or get something smaller
