Looking for some very simple opinions on tyres, nothing long winded - just a yes or a no.

CONTINENTAL 275 35 R20 102Y CONTINENTAL SPORTCONTACT 6

May not be the greatest tyre for the RS6 but can get a good deal on these £700 for 4 fitted. Would you?

@ £700 for 4 fitted - its a no brainer - I paid £660 for 2 Michelins SPSS

Thanks, that's what I thought. Unless I get told they're a <beep> tyre stay away I'll probably go with them. Just interested in a handful of views.

Had conti's on my last RS4 and they were fine, wore well and were a lot quieter than the Bridgestones with less tram lining, though not as sticky in the dry. I think that deal is too good to ignore, while I accept tyres can transform the car, in most daily driving situations it's almost irrelevant.

Are those you quote the ContiSilent version and is your car a post facelift version with the double glazing/sound insulation?

At that price it could be a group buy . The Contis are fine plus they have a nice lip/rim protection which has saved my rims on a couple of occasions

OEM are 285 not 275

think the 20"s are 275
21"s 285

Sorry didn't see they were 20"!!

i did the same thinking it was 21"s wondering how i could get in on the deal then the penny dropped

Mine is a 2015 and I don't know about the ContiSilent, just the spec I posted. Cheers

Thanks for comments. Am I one of the few saddos still to have 20" rather than 21"

How much better are the 21"s from a cost benefit point of view?

Nothing sad about us Mike

21s look better but that's it. They cost more and have far fewer options for tyres. The Sport Contact 6 is supposed to be a very good tyre. Also worth considering is the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S which is available for the 20s and not the 21s and meant to be slightly better than the Continental although I think I read someone rate the conti better than the PS4S. And it's cheaper and better than the MPSS.
