Thats what is important. The ride should be smooth with the tires you are choosing. May I suggest the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ 275/35R20? These tires are perfect for this car and have a slightly thicker sidewall that will protect the rim and give more better ride over the standard 265/35R20 tires.

Get the tires and rims road force balance which is necessary for the Audis and tell the tech at the dealer no more than 10 lbs road force for each rim and tire.
I will put the 275's on, thanks for telling me about the road force balance, didn't know anything about that.

Glad to be of help! When you tell the dealer bout road force balance they will respect you more for knowing about this since few people request it and its slowly becoming more popular with lower profile tires/rims. I find huge difference in the ride quality with road force balance over dynamic balancing with glass smooth ride and no abnormal vibration at any speeds.
