However, I think the car's balance is perfect with the 265/285 combo on fast sweepers (well suited for road courses).
They could have gone faster on the course, too many slaloms I am just jealous as I didn't get over 48mph in the last autox.....

I have only done one event on the new setup. I can't say for sure how much faster I am as everyone I ran against with last year got new A6s. The only thing I can say for sure is that you will still get the plow, but the difference is that the backend seems to have a lot more rotation at lower speed. The car was still stable enough at the higher speed corners. We had 2 figure 8 at the last course, the backend actually stepped out for the first time on these tires. I think the 285 is slightly faster in terms of raw time, but the car just FEELS better.

What psi did you run?

It looks like you have aftermarket suspension on the car, so our feel might be different.
