Hello all,
I am running a square setup with aftermarket 19x8.5ET47 (10mm spacers) wheels and stock Pirellis so far. 2 of those have bad flat spots and cause heavy vibrations above 100KPH. When this was brought up with Audi, they put down the vibration to bent rims in spite of me producing 2 independent wheel balancing reports which clearly blame the rubber. To avoid any further escalation with them, I have decided to replace the tyres myself and plan on going in for Michelin PS4S/PSS. Having read up on some of the threads, it appears that for the same spec tyre (235x35R19) the Michelins are wider/bigger than the Pirellis. Can someone confirm this and better yet, provide a picture comparison? Also, considering my setup, is there a chance of tyre rubbing at full lock (stock fixed suspension) or speed errors/ESC faults?
Thanks for any input.
