I contend that it's a combination of the brakes plus LRR tires. The stock Goodyear runflat summer tires on my M Sport were LRR, and I was never happy with the braking performance. I replaced them with all-season DWS's about 15,000 miles ago, and the braking feel is actually about the same or maybe even marginally better. Switching from summer tires to all-seasons should have resulted in decreased performance.
Our Audi has the exact opposite problem ... outstanding performance but wholly-crap-I-can't-believe-how-dirty-my-wheels-are amounts of brake dust. (HBWT - as a former Q5 owner you know what I mean.)
I'd love to have stock in the company that finally comes up with a low dust brake pad that actually performs. In the meantime, I guess larger ceramic brakes are the best compromise. Speaking of which, I wonder if the 35i's brakes can be retrofitted to the 28i?
