Just to add my 2 penneth.... Still running std Pirellis and can't fault them so far.

Currently posting from a hotel halfway across the route nepolean and they've been fantastic.
It's been 28degrees and not a spot of rain on my journey so far though....

Time will tell I guess but the 275's won't do any harm IMHO

MPS are in my opinion much better. The car feels more stable & there is less road noise too. I haven't really monitored wear rates, but I certainly won't be going back to the Pirelli's thats for sure.
It's all torque talk.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Well, not without being rude to those Northern Monkeys of course......

Just asked my dealer and he said non Audi approved tyres can enable a failed warranty claim? Anyone ever had this?

With the sat nav? Unlikely
With something drive train related. Possibly, suggest you find a better dealer..

Or call audi CS and find out for sure

Apparently an R8 had a propshaft claim refused as tyres were not Audi approved. One dealer says no problem, other dealer says problem. Awaiting response from Audi

Would imagine the dealer is talking more about running the wrong tyre size that Audi approve of
rather than tyre make?
