Tyre sizes

[cptjay]

Is anyone running different tyre sizes on their S4 B9?

The standard 245/35/19 seem to be expensive with my preferred Pilot Sport's coming in at £200 per corner!

I’ve not done it but I’d imagine you could get away with 255/35/19’s without throwing your speedo out much. I don’t know if you’d then experience any of the tram-lining issues like experienced in the B8/8.5 if you play with the size though....

Ouch that’s a lot
Have you had a look here the reviews to maybe look out for are the ones that’s covered more miles

Obviously you can’t go wrong with Michelin

Thanks for the link, interesting site.

I do much prefer Michelin Pilot Sport's even at the expense of a few less miles.... they are the stickiest rubber out there!

No problem. I remember back in the day used to use Yokohama tyres on my old Mk2 Astragte 16V. They used to stick pretty well
Not in the same league as Michelin though

Yokohama 105s are on a par with Michelin's compound but have a stiffer sidewall (Not really difficult). Slightly sharper turn in and cheaper too.
