Is a XL load rating "highly recommended" for a 2005 B6 S4?
I've found several tires that have the load rating of 91. I even have that load rating on my Eagle F1's now.

Some info :
Audi recommends XL because the load margins are so close.
1356 lbs per tire max load rating for 'standard load' tires.
1521 lbs per tire max load rating for XL or extra load tires.
Gross Axle weight rating on the S4:
Front 2712 lbs Rear 2425 lbs
Standard load tires techinically meet their max load ratings at 36psi. XL tires at 44Psi .<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>
