my A2 is now racking up miles slightly slower than is true.

Can't believe that a car manufacturer sends a new car out with an incorrectly reading speedo whether intentional or not?
I run 195 55 R16's which are 5% bigger than the standard 185 50 R16's and my speedo is now spot on to my sat nav speed

Right, kind of makes sense now as i know a lot of optional extras such as larger wheels are actually dealer fit rather than factory fit but it would be nice to know that what the speedo reads is the speed you are actually travelling. Shame the dealer couldn't recalibrate?
Have you ever had any rubbing issues with the 195 55 combination when your car is loaded up and could i ask is that with 6" or 7" wide wheels?
I have 185/55/16 tyres on std SE rims and they don't rub.

I actually tried 205/55R16's on some 16" 7J TT alloys on a sport for a little while...
I think the RS6 are the 5 spoke which have a slight chamfer on each side of the spokes
