Haven't had my S8 long enough to need tires yet, but I buy tires at Tire Rack (warehouse in town) and take them to the Lexus dealer for installation on my LX. Not a problem. The service writer and I have talked about how much cheaper I can get them at Tire Rack.

I went ahead and purchased from local Goodyear retailer. My car is currently there and I plan on bringing it to Audi service for road force balance. Any other recommendations? It's going to be a week before I can get into the Audi dealership.

Does not effect my adaptive cruise at all, nor should it. The difference in Dia is not even measurable when putting the a ContiSportContact3 265/40/20 side by side with the GoodYear 275/40/20. I was hoping for a slight bit taller tire, but it's so close you can not tell it at all. They are wider for sure and you can easily tell that however.

That is correct. Tire rack shows the Goodyear being like .3" taller in dia, but that is not what I see with them both mounted and aired up on wheels. the GoodYear is wider for sure.

Everything has been good with new tires. However this morning I have warning messages for adaptive cruise and side assist unavailable. Any chance this is due to tires? I've been driving on them for a week by now. Thx

Edit: Oops, I now realized you were talking about all-season tires. Summer models can be completely different animal. Oh well.
