To address the issue of 195 as the tire width, I'm sure there are Plus 0
options that you can use for the A6 Avant which will 1) enable you to expand
your options, 2) give you better grip and more agressive looks and 3) still
allow you to use your stock wheels.
Assuming your stock tires are 195/65/15's, 205/60/15 should be an acceptable
alternative. 215/60/15 is probably as well.

The last tires I put on my 5000CS and then my 200 CS Quattro wagons were
Firestone Firehawk Touring LH radials.
Wonderful handling, riding, and lasting tires for really good prices when I
bought them. I bought one of the first sets available in Maine, actually,
for my 5000 CS wagon, and when I took that car to auction, I replaced them
with some 'rubber', and kept the LH's for the "new" to me, 200.
It was very disappointing to me to find out that my wife's "new" '94 100 CS
Avant has so few choices in tires, due to the 195 tire size.
