Can't you spec what tyre you want ? Or is it the case that 'Audi' only recommend certain brands?

Nope you get what you get. Only two R01 spec tyres for 21" rims are the Dunlop and a Conti. The later is specially <beep>, the Dunlops are OK. MPSs also available in the size, but not with the Audi tag.

There is also a Pirelli Pzero offering for 21's with R01 spec for the RS6/7 which has noise cancelling technology built-in - they are what came on my RS6 and I'd definitely vouch for the noise cancelling as tyre noise is minimal.

I've also read elsewhere that the Conti's for the RS6/7 have their own version of this technology applied:

MPSS not R01, so it will be Pirellis, Contis or Dunlops.

It's one of the marks that associates the tyre as the OEM choice. Audi also use R02 and R03. Other car manufacturers have their own marks.

Mine arrived at the dealer earlier this week, had a quick look round it and did notice that its wearing Dunlop's

In the b8 forum they claim that the pzero's are no good, and the contis are <beep>!? Same goes for the c7 or is it not possible to compare.
Ca 1 month left Before ill get my car, i really want to know what tires will be delivered.
What does the panel Think about going up in size, 285/35/20 instead of 275/35/20, if you do it allround should be no problem, right?
In this new size you can choose from hell of a lot more tires.
