Default New S6 Tires...So what say you?

So, what is the consensus recommendation for my first replacement treads on my 2007 S6? I have 16K miles on my factory Conti 265/35 ZR 19's. They are pretty well gone...

I have seen some comments on upgrading to 275's to get access to more choices in the load range (98Y) required.

What is your experience with other tires - like Bridgestone RE050A's for example? and/or Pirelli P Zero's or others? What size did you buy?

Thanks, Rob

I just replaced my factory contis after 15k miles with 265 Bridgestone RE050A's. I like them better than the Conti's so far as they seem a little quieter and smoother. They came highly recommended by the guys at WheelWorks.

Default Bridgestone RE-050A will get progressively noisier as they wear -

not on my S6 but on my GTI.

Default Go all out with Bridgestone RE-01R or RE-11 : the stickiest extreme

performance summer tires that are still street legal.
