Oh sorry Scott. Got wrong end of the stick. Yeah. They are wide. 4.2TDI is fitted with 275 and the S8 is fitted with 265 or 255 for some reason.

I like the idea of 275 for the high side walls to retain some of the comfort.

I'm toying with the idea of getting 20" wheels since my tyres are almost done for but I don't want to lose the comfort.

I had heard that a final FL D3 on 20"s is the equivalent to a pre FL on 17"s somewhere, due to the extra sound deadening and improved suspension setup. Not sure if it's true, but mine is very smooth, quiet and forgiving on 275/35/20s. YMMV though.
