Default What Size Tires?

I need to know what size tires I should get for my new 17 inch S4 Avus. I was planning to go with 225/45 because that's what was on them when I picked them up not really thinking I could get something else. They will be going on with H&R Race springs both front and back with Bilstein shocks. It's about a 2 inch drop in the front, 1.5 I believe in the back.

225/45 is stock size so speedo will be most accurate. you can get by with 235's I think, but I'd just keep it at 225's. pretty wide selection out there for that size as it is very common. may I suggest goodyear asymmetricals? These are great tires for the price. Are even OE for some porsches

I've had two pairs of of Goodyear Tripletred Assurance 215/55/17 on aftermarket wheels, but this time decided to get the pirelli cinturato p7 all season ones because I don't do summer/winter tires per season, and they were the best performing all season tire on Tire Rack. When looking for tires my top 2 factors considered are tred warranty and winter/snow handling, then noticed Discount Tire had a $100 off coupon through their Ebay store for anything over $400 right now, and I got the last pair of cunturato AS's in that size. I'm excited because I thought the tripletred's did very well in the winter in MN.

Went with the stock tire size yesterday. Was not looking at all in that price range though. Picked out everything online at Sullivan Tire.
