I've had good tread life on my RS4's. Hard to say how many days exactly because I was swapping out with another set of wheels. That said, they discontinued the 275/35/18. So your choices are either the 265 or the 285. I think the 265 is too narrow. I ran them last year and they chunked on me in hotter weather. I'm currently using the 285 and like it a lot. We'll see if they chunk when the weather turns hot. I'm hoping the larger size will help with that (it's .8" wider than the 265).
The AD08R is an old tire and won't have the grip of the RS4. It's also really expensive ($384 for their 265/35/18). Looks like Tire Rack has a lot of older stock in some sizes which probably means it's being phased out in favor of the new AD052.
