Good call. Those are the same tires I'm getting for my R8 (for winter fun).

Going back to your original thread topic, the more I look at the A4 Avant, the more I like it, especially now that the motor has a fair bit more torque and that ultra-smooth 8-speed Tiptronic.

and you want a bigger sidewall on a winter tire then a summer, I would think a 35 sidewall is something to run in the summer and 40/45 in the winter...

Hello Jack...the car is an S line and that is the correct size (but I did check the web-site tonight after your post!). I will use the stock S Line wheels with the snows and the OEM rubber on the new Caractere wheels coming with the kit.

It did...very happy with the quality and fit - exhaust tone is nice. All installs were done in Montreal. Added a "Sprintbooster" too which solved one of the only things I didn't like of the car being its ability to run quickly out of the gate....
