Audi R8 19inch Tire replacement

Hi Guys,

Planning to replace my Pirelli OEM tires to Michelin Pilot.

What sizes do you guys recommend? Just go with the original size or can i play around it?

Thanks.

Simon

Do you have the 295s or 305s on the rear? I have the 305s. I love the look. Obviously, not a huge difference, but really aggressive looking. Can't offer a recommendation on Pirelli v. Michelin. I'm still on the stock P Zeros at 5k miles.

Stay OEM 235 front. You can run a 305 in the rear if you choose, but most stay with the stock 295 to make sure the car doesn't have an issue with the changes in the rolling diameters. It's not much, so you can do the 305 if you want.

Call me if I can help!
