    Hello,

    Just wonder is someone can put some insight on the ride quality for Audi A6 ultra s line BE 2015 FL - 20 inch alloys. They come with stock 255/35/20 wheels. Considering the s line firmer suspension I am afraid that ride might uncomfortable. I currently drive VW CC on 235/40/18 which is firm enough as well. Anyone has done similar change/comparison and could provide a feedback? I do 85% motorway driving and 15% town.

    Thanks!

    Best thing you can do is get an extensive test drive of one on your normal routes.

    Audi recently gave me a car for the weekend, which I subsequently bought.

    So, they could be happy for you to take on a long test drive.

    If it's mainly motorway mileage you should be OK.

    I'd be more concerned about the 1500 quid to replace the tyres when the time comes. Even FWD A6's tend to go through all 4 tyres in 30k ish and them 20's ain't cheap.

    Yes, I have seen the prices. However 1500e must be dealer price. You can get kumho for 160e per corner fitted. Even if you want a premium brand you will get them for 250e per corner fitted. This is based on oponeo.ie. Still 50e per corner more than I pay at the moment.
