Yup, I saw that last yr when the RS3 was released and thought it was a typo, but thinking it through it makes sense with the Haldex setup (like the TT and regular A3 - front bias until slippage or unequal rotation/cornering detected - put the meat where it will do the most good.). It won't be the first time an Audi has bigger front tires than rear. See the MTM S2 RSR (265 fronts, 235 rears).

Although most tuners have gone to a square setup on the RS3 as seen here in this 500hp application:
