Just swapped out the 2010 A6 for a 2013 (8V) A3 Sportback S-Line 1.8T.

First thing I need to do is get reversing sensors! ;-)
Next is some Winter tyres, I have some 16" A3 wheels but V rated Winter tyres, that will have the same circumference as the summer 18" wheels seem very rare. I was looking for some Dunlops being the quietest I can find but they only seem to be H rated which wouldn't be legal/safe for a 144mph car? Would they?

Current 18" tyres are 225/40/R18 Y, 16" equivalent seem to be 205/55/R16 but I'm only seeing Dunlops with an H speed rating.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Cheers.
 
Are you going to be reaching them speeds with winter tyres?
 
Probably not but what will Mr Plod and Mrs Insurance think in the event of even a non fault incident?
