Driver Steering Recommendation (DSR)

Hello Have read on other forums of the setting in the VCDS to turn off 'DSR' and how this might magically transform the steering of a '14 plate S4 Avant that tramlines, drifts on a straight road, and also torque steers when accelerating on a curve, e.g. out of a roundabout. Anyone with any experienc...

Winter Tyre width for S4 Avant B8.5

Hello Standard Tyres are 255/35r19 on my B8.5 S4 Avant Black Edition, on presumably 19x8.5J rims. Has anyone put narrower tyres on these rims? Wondering whether my winter tyres will fit. I have a set of 235/35r19 winter tyres in my shed. What impact would the narrower tyre have? I think 235 is withi...

Re: Winter Tyre Recommendation?

I may be selling my set of winter tyres and rims soon... Barely used Michelin's on S6 19" rims. Either that or they will be going with the car as a spare set.

Re: Wheel Upgrade

Thanks. Main issue is ‘poke’ with face of wheel being 14mm further out on 9” wide rims. not sure what impact moving the centre of the wheel out by 7mm will have on handling. I assume it will understeer more as a consequence?

Wheel Upgrade

Looking for a set of 20" alloys. Does it matter if I go for 9x20 ET37 or 8.5x20 ET45? Also, a 255 width tyre has a difference circumference to a 265. Would it make any difference to the handling if the 265 width tyre on a 9x20 rim pushes the wheel out? Current wheel and tyre on the S6 is OEM 255 40 ...

Re: Brake Pads for '12 S6

Ok. I assume once the warning light is on, it is not a good idea to keep driving?

Re: Winter Tyre Recommendation?

PA4s on! Noticeably less harsh than the Goodyear F1s.

Odd thing happened though when I got back in the car. It was stuck in P. Couldn't get it into R, N or D.

Is there something I did or didn't do before they took the wheels off, like stick it in Neutral, or something?
