I'm anticipating the actual delivery of soon to be mine A5 S-line (ordered in April) and need some help with other "stuff". I've found out that Thule does not have a rack that will fit the A5/S5. Not yet sure about Yakima, but I think its a no-go there too. So, does anyone have a good solution for carrying skis and/or kayaks?

Secondly, I'll definitely be needing snow tires. Anyone have any good suggestions for size and brand. Tire Rack doesn't yet have any info for these cars. Especially as the A5 S-line comes with 19" wheels.
