The ES100s went on my wife's A6 4.2. The size was 255-40/17. They were a full
1 1/2" wider than my 245-40/17 Toyo T1Ss. I do have width envy. She was
looking for better wet tire than the oem Pirrelli P6000s. There was a
significant transformation in the feel of the car to a much more secure feel.
My wife can drive my snowblowerr but to have her comment on the difference in
feel was significant. The wet performance has been excellent. Break away is
very predictable. I would definately buy this tire again. Noise, what noise?
Taka I've been around jet engines for 35 years. I don't have any hearing;-)

Hap, tryin to hear in Everboost, Maguire
