A6 Avant Tyres

[jamjarrob]

Hi all,

I have just bought a second hand Audi A6 Avant SE Executive, and the tyres fitted are Michelin Primacy 3 on 225/55/17 97Y and my question is when the time comes to finding a replacement set of tyres should they not be 101W XL?

Picture of alloy wheel is below:

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the attached plate inside the reveal of the driver's door which specifies all the relevant tyre information? That is the key to what you should have. However, your tyres are the same size and load capacity as my SE saloon 17" rims.

Thanks for the reply - totally forgot about the tyre info plate on the driver plate. Although it does say that it should be on a 97Y but it also says below 101V - which one should it be? 97Y or 101V? I have no idea what M+S means!
