I have had my allroad for about two months now and it works great in rough weather. The tires and rims on the car are larger than normal: Mine are 18 in, with conti extreme contact p245 size tires. The ride is a bit harsh for me, but it handles better than stock size. I have driven loaner allroad with both the 2.7t and 4.2 motor so I now know the feeling.

If anyone in the Chicago area would like to trade with me for 17's, just respond here. One issue...the new allroad rims that have a double look to them with the bolts, are not really what I want. I would rather have normal plain ones.

My tires are in great shape, they have about 6,000 miles right now.
