Default They don't really fit my driving style...

I thought that I could put up with the stiffer ride of 18"s but I spend almost 100 miles in the S6 a day and have determined the 17"s are better suited. I will be selling all four tires, but only three of the R38s as I suspect one is bent.

Default Yeah, I was just thinking to myself today that there is no way I could put up with 18s.

I think the 18s suit the A6 better for styling, but as far as comfort, and maybe even on-road (not track) performance 17s are the best choice.

The roads just plain suck in PA.

Default Huh??? I don't notice a difference even with 19s! Seriously!

I guess I don't have as sensitive of an *** as I thought I did!

Default It is not so much the 18" , but more so the S-03's which are giving you a hard ride,

The handling of the S-03's is fantastic, but gosh they are uncomfortable, specially with my S6's dropped suspension.

Next tyres? maybe the new ContiSport Contact II or the Toyo T-1S (or whatever).

The S-03's are near the end after 6200 miles which included 3 days (with many laps) at race tracks.
