RE: yet another tire info request...

I thought the Eagle RS-A was OE on the q and the Eagle GA(g) on the
non-q A4s. The A6 has the CH95 (the ones I've seen at Barrier anyway).

You're right about ec though. They have some good articles to keep
current by and see what miscellaneous tuners have done to cars, but
their reviews are juuust a little biased to their advertisers (potential
or current). IMO, anyway.
