Where do you live Forrest?

I'm in Boston and I've run NRWs on my wife's A6 and Hakka Qs on my 
S6 wagon. For my (new to me) '02 A6 wagon, I bought a set of Nokia 
RSIs. Been very impressed with their overall dry capability, much 
better right off the shelf than the Qs, and almost on a par with 
the NRWs.

I think next time around my wife will get RSIs rather than the 
WRs.
