    What Tire Size is everyone running?

    The tinting laws are a little ridiculous. You can see perfectly fine even lower than 35% at night. if you did a 35% rear 50% fronts I doubt police would bother you. Especially if you have a sunroof and you leave the shade open when traveling through picky towns. That really brightens up the...

    What Tire Size is everyone running?

    The headlights are probably not legal. But I guess the cops don't notice with the led running lights . I've already been pulled over for my side tint and had to remove the 20% .I'm running 35% now . Still illegal but I love the look .

    What Tire Size is everyone running?

    Thanks so much guys I love these 245/35/19's someday I'll try again with the 255's but these are fantastic. The perfect size for the S3 on the stock offset.

    What Tire Size is everyone running?

    It's a bust after receiving them and mocking them up I'm not confident that they will fit with the ET44. If I was willing to change rims or run spacers I would keep them but. I'll be returning them for 245/35/19's.

    What Tire Size is everyone running?

    I really want to try the 255's but I don't see anyone running them without spacers. There's about 2" before I hit the shock with the 235's so I think they may fit but that's a thousand dollar mistake if they don't.

    What Tire Size is everyone running?

    man I wish that you could try before you buy. I'd hate to order 255's and they rub. I'm torn now between 245's and 255's on a 8.5 with a 44mm offset. 255 seems perfect if it wouldn't rub.

    What Tire Size is everyone running?

    Those may be right up my alley. I just want a little more comfort and I do like the DWS-06's they're my favorite all season tires. Still it only goes from a 82mm to 85mm sidewall I'm not sure if that will be enough to smooth out the bad roads here. Looks good though. wonder if a 255/35/19 would...

    What Tire Size is everyone running?

    I'm curious what tire size have people tried? I love the ride of my winter 225/40/18's But I love the look of my 235/35/19's. I was thinking about doing 235/40/19 to get the comfort of the 18's and the look of the 19's. But I'm not sure if they would rub on a stock setup or just look stupid. I...

    Haldex Question

    Mine is coming up this summer. I may take the one guys advice and just unscrew and remove the filter to clean it and leave the pump plug connected. I think I'd like that so that I don't get any cleaner or debris into the pump.

    Colour envy

    I have Manual envy:icon thumright: I would have a blast if mine was a manual. Though I'm probably better off with my 80 mile commute the way it is.

    Dislikes

    One thing that really bugs me with the car is it's just to damn nice. I was fully expecting to drive it everyday in all weather. But after getting it I can't even bring myself to drive it in the rain. I'm constantly wiping the car down, waxing, polishing etc. I don't even use the windshield...

    How to spot bad haldex system?

    Do they offer the service record on the cars? the S would have had two haldex fluid changes by now and a S-tronic fluid and filter change. They would both need the same services. Launching and guessing I don't think you can tell much. Haldex is a kick in all wheel drive unlike the true AWD of a...

    Dislikes

    I'm right up there with you. The only minor thing is some wind noise from the drivers side door. All of the other doors are completely silent. Most fun car I've driven that's still a great daily. :thumbs up:

    Changing the S3....but to what?

    Yeah it was hard but my commute just changed to 100miles per day and I was living somewhere with no garage. I sold it bought a house with a garage and then had a commuter and a cheap toy for a while. It was a worthy trade off. Still up there as one of my favorite cars.

    Changing the S3....but to what?

    My insurance company made me laugh. I picked up a beater Pontiac Solstice GXP when I sold my E46 M3 would you believe the insurance was more on the Pontiac? They told me the Pontiac was a sports car haha.
