From what i heard Nankangs have good grip but were wearing quite fast in the past but have improved in last 10 years. Thinking of 215/50R17 or 225/50R17 for A6.

I am also considering taking S4 Cab to Bedford Autodrome before selling it if it can pass noise test. So thinking about another set of alloys 18" with Nankang NS2R 235/40R18 semi slick that could potentially be used on either A6 or S8 in the future even if a bit wrong size.
I ran them on my 8 for a while Ainars they were fine. Grip ok both wet and dry lasted ok too, don't remember miles but for the money they are a good choice. I found with part worns if they'd started wearing say on the outside edge they would carry on wearing regardless to toe settings.
