I drove the A6 2.7T in 2000 and thought it was "under tired", that is,
not enough tire for the car. I then drove the A6 4.2 and found it
handled better. It had 255-40-18 and the difference between the two
cars was because of the tires. I bought the 4.2 model because of
this.

If I was replacing tires on the 2.7t, I would go for a premium
performance tire. I have the same Dunlop 255-40-18 tires on my RS6
and they are superb.
