Default Plus Size Tire on A8 4.0

Hi I just bought the car its a 2017 A8 4.0 with 20K miles not sure if the tires are original or the guy before me replaced them, but either way they are slightly noisy and has got 7/32 Thread on Left Front\Rear and 6/32 on Right Front\Rear.
Discount tire suggested me to go with 275/40R/20 Continental Control Contact Sport instead of 265/40R/20 Perilli's. Do you think I should go for it or stick to the original size? Please advise.


Thanks
