Will 275/40/17 tires fit on a 2004 A6 4.2? or will they rub? I found a set of 4 for $455 brand new and I would like to buy them but. . .

Replying to: bossfifty (Jun 13, 2007 2:12 pm) I am thinking of buying a 2k5 A6 Quattro 3.2. It has the 16" tires. Does your post apply to this version of the A6.   Thank you,
#20 of 20 Why do I feel unsafe? by hungryford Aug 23, 2008 (9:22 pm)
Audi 2002 A6 4.2 sports suspension, 17 inch rims. 6 hours ago, I replaced my semi-bald standard 255 Z 40 tires with 4 new 235 Y 45 tires from Bridgestone (their rain racing tires, I am told--I live in rain country). I took these brand new tires immediately up to freeway speeds and felt a lot of sway and oversteer that me feel unsafe. I am ready to go back and replace them with the 40 series, if performance doesn't improve after I check to be sure air pressure is up near tire rating and put a few miles of run in them. The tire direction indicators are correct. However, they had all 4 rims off at once and may have replaced them haphazardly as to side. I do not see how this matters with brand new tires. Also could there be any ESP or other Audi computer cornering settings that I have messed up? Has anyone got an explanation other than narrower tread, thicker tread and maybe under-inflation as a cause for such a dramatic change in handling. I have to make this decision tomorrow (Sunday), as I am on the road, far from home. hungryford
