No wheels are approved by the DOT
The US does not have testing or certification requirements for them. Good luck with 360. They look good in pics, not so much in person.

Make sure to soak it liberally and press each button to work the liquid in. Repeat several times. Not guaranteed to fix it but if is a small spill it just might do the trick.

Why not go with 275/35-20 Pilot Sport A/S?
It's an OEM size and compared to the 19" 255/40-20 you lose only 0.23" of sidewall.

They are integrated in the headlamp assembly (where your old DRL's used to be). On the S6, the LED Strip functions as the DRL (and city/parking lights on RoW cars).

Really, you don't say?
Using the OE Michelin PS2, the section widths mounted are:

9.0 = 10.24"
9.5 = 10.00"

#1 has a horrible bowed out profile
#2 & #3 are too blocky and simple in relation to the car's lines.
#5 while nice, it too "light" in design for the car IMO.

I dunno, but if it was me and I had a choice between 91 sans Ethanol and 94 that was E10...
I'd go with the 91. If the 91 is E10 as well, then by all means go with the 94.

How much ethanol?
More than 10% (E10) and you're gonna have some major issues. I was doing 90% 91 octane and 10% 100 octane on mine.

The switch was an addition for '06. Earlier models are automatic.
The heating element will turn on when the cabin temperature drops below 59F.
