Just trying to gauge opinions here as ive only had my rs6 for 1 year now

So this is especially noticeable when the tyres are cold and incidentally my tires are very low on grip as well and will be replaced in the next month

Get a very noticeable "judder" when turning that Ill admit is a horrible feeling/sound as it really does feel like something is about to break. Worst when at full lock....A few people are telling me this is normal for the quattro system and is something that gets worse as the tyres get low on tread but wanted to check here as well to see what people think

Thanks!

It's not the Quattro system, it is simply very wide tyres on a cold day. My RWD Mercedes before this Audi did exactly the same thing. The outer edge of the tyre is moving across the road surface at a different speed to the inner edge when on full lock. The tyre's rubber is too cold to flex.

Thanks....that makes sense. Could tyre wear also start to make this worse when it is cold?

I noticed this when i have mine first which was on P-Zeros, it was so bad i thought i had quattro problems, when i changed to Michelin PS4s the issue was greatly reduced,

Ditto this, the PS4's have completely eliminated it for me. When I first got my RS6 it had mis-matched wear across the front axel (one new tyre, one at 5mm) which exacerbated the issue moreso compared to when I had a pair of new PZero's put on the front.

on ps2 here, it does it as well.
