The tire is really perfect for everyday use. Absolutely comfortable, brutal grip and traction in all situations. You don't notice the profile at all on 22-inch rims. No special noises.
Perfectly developed for the Audi RS7 Performance. Audi delivers the tire as standard.
The only downside might be durability. It could be better, but it's totally fine for such a vehicle.
The best tire I've ever driven. I won't even consider switching to another for the car.

What drivers say about their 285/30 R22 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Got the car on 0 and now currently sits at 5k km and driving quite aggressive in and corners and would take turns at 140km/h
but for some reason people are getting better 0/100 on sports contact7 than me as I was averaging 3.4-3.6 on ideal conditions whilte others were getting as low as 3.0
and P zeros tend to slip a lot in semi rainy conditions when pushed
comfort was amazing considering the car as cruising at around 180 and with decent turning opportunity
one thing though is that they do not react nicely when they are heated up with common sliding occurring when tire temps reach 50C
(still not track tested)
