Suggestions for high performance all season tire for my 18X8.5 ET30 RS6 reps on my A6 4.2?

Also want to know if 255/35 or 265/35 would be best. I want a high performing all-season tire because I don't see the need for a second set of dedicated winter tires living in Richmond, VA.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S

As for what tire size would be "best", it would be better to check the OEM tire size that comes with an A6 18" package.

The GSD3 is not an all season tire. Nero M+S, Pilot Sport A/S and Avon M550 are all great options

Re: Suggestions for high performance all season tire for my 18X8.5 ET30 RS6 reps on my A6 4.2?

Just purchased my second Audi A6 and this time I wanted to change a few things. It is a 2.8 quattro and I was wondering if someone could tell me the best size wheel and tire package to put on this car that will fit and not rub or scrape when going over a bump or two.Also if anyone knew how to change the back appearance of the car so that the exhaust tips could come through the back. Thanks
