Nah. It's not the taller tires, but crappy Goodyear tires. One of the
magazines that did the long-term report (Automobile or C&D) said the
Goodyear tires are okay for $20,000 car, but is totally out of class on
the A8. The Goodyears have absolutely no traction and squeaks like a pig
when you want to do anything other than standing still.

For majority of cars out there, the handling problem can usually be fixed
by changing the awful OEM tires to something decent.
