    Continental AllSeasonContact tyres?

    I currently have Avon ZV7s on my Quattro Avant. I am considering going with the Contis next time. The Avons are very good but the idea of all weather tyres apeals to me. Especially as I live halfway down a muddy old hill - its all muddy around my part of Somerset actually :/ And if it snows I...

    Sportback Help needed with tyre sizes

    looking to get some new alloys and a friend is selling his brand new alloys as he’s decided to sell up. His car is rwd and the tyres on it are 35 profile front but 30 profile on rear, I assume this would cause problems on the rs3 with it been 4wd ? Thanks

    Tyres - What brand and why you like them?

    Just interested to see what other folk are running on their Avants. 255/35/19 reccomendations or opinions please. I'm currently on Kumho Ecsta Le Sport but wondering g if it's worth the extra pennies for something a bit more expensive. Personally I've always found them to be ok - very grippy...

    2 Good Tyres or 4 Average Tyres

    The slip in my wheels is getting a little unbearable (noticed yesterday it's got three miss matched budgets and one Michelin which is low on tread! Shocking!). The wheel's are 19's (235/35/19) so with the nightmare cost I don't want to go wrong with the purchase. Should I pick up: 2x...
