ok so it is time to get new tires...

so my question is if my stock tires are 225\45\17 ..
what can i go with for wdth ?? can i go with 235/45/17??? any issues??
or what if i go with 235 in the back and 225 up front???

or am i just an idiot and should go with stock all the way around?

 

Did you really just ask if you are an Idiot? Of course you are! [:@]

Get the same all round, Quattro does not like different tire sizes. 235 will be fine, but try to find a 235/40/17.

 

I wanted Nokian WR all season tires for my 2008 TT 3.2 Quattro Roadster but Nokian doesn't make a tire equivalent to the stock 245/40/18 All season run flats.

I asked my local installer if he would put the Nokian 235/40/18 tires on but he declined since he felt that the tires are not close enough in circumference giving different revs/mile and may screw up the gearing on the stronic. Audi was noncommital on this as well and said it would "probably be ok" but wouldn't put it in writing to avoid voiding the warrantee. Now I don't know what to do. I really had my heart set on those Nokians since I don't want to change to snow tires every season. Nokian does make a true snow tire in the 245/40/18 size but I couldn't leave them on in the summer.

Are there any other all season tires that would be adequate in the snow and still not need to be removed with good wear (at least 25 K miles?)

I was told this car is best not driven in the snow with the stock all season tires and the Nokians are really the only true All season snow rated tires that can be driven on all year round with excellent wear and traction.

 

It will be fine, if all the tires are the same size, you will be fine. Look at all the people who change rim & tire size, they are all ok.

 

ooo thats a lowblow....ok i am gonna go with the 235-40-17...thanks 2k for answering my question and calling me an idiot[:@]

 

Haha, well he was just being honest. Can't get mad at the guy. You just have to watch the clearance from the fender and the upper control arm.

Ok, first 235 width should be fine ...but dont go above that..then you really start flriting with clearance issues.

Secondly, the nokians are a great tire.... and jsut because one dealer doesnt have them doesnt mean you cant find elsewhere...find them online and have them shipped..often times thats a cheaper route as well... just reasearch a bit.

But IMO.. dont get all seasons.. (although those nokians are about as good as youll get for that type).. . Theyre just...ok. they arent good at anything..just average at everything, its the lousiest of the best and the best of the lousiest.. Get a cheap set of rims...and get some snow tires on them.... or else get a nice set of rims and throw snow tires on your stock...thats what im doing...just havent gotten the rims yet[:@] Trust me, the snow tires are much more fun anyways...

Where do you live?

 

so sooks i can go with 235\45\17 with no problems at all???
thats prolly what i will do...

 

yeah..you should be good... But like 2k said..if you could get 235/40/17 itd prob be better.
