My 2005 A6 4.2 came with 245/40/18 tires, I am thinking of going with a 255/40/18 replacement tire. The OD on the OEM tire is 25.7, the OD on the replacement tire is 26.0. I am concerned that the larger tire may rub or cause a problem with the Quattro system. Does anyone have any experience with the larger tire size? Does it rub? Should I be concerned about the impact on the Quattro system? Can I stick with the OEM rims? Kevin

Replying to: kgary (Sep 24, 2006 3:29 am) 255 would be a "perfect" plus zero and from what i can tell, requires nothing be done to the car iteself. What do you think you will get out of the plus sizing? This is not a trick question -- at least I don't intend it to be. I live in SW Ohio and the wider the tires, typically, the poorer the winter experience (and I would personally go with UHP all seasons, which may not be your approach.)

Replying to: markcincinnati (Sep 24, 2006 5:32 am) I have the Pirelli PZero Nero M & S tires on the car already. So I am in complete agreement on UHP tires for the car. I like the look of wider tires, but I don't want to go to a lower profile and risk getting a harsher ride. Do you know anyone who put 265/40/18s on the car? Kevin

Got this from somewhere else. My copy of C&D hasn't come in the mail yet. "C&D November - M45 vs. 550i vs. E550 vs. GS450h 1. Infiniti M45 Sport 2. BMW 550i Sport 3. Mercedes-Benz E550 4. Lexus GS450h The Infiniti had a one point advantage over the BMW overall. The BMW edged out the Infiniti by two points in the Fun-To-Drive category, but the Infiniti had a 5 point advantage in the Price category. The BMW cost almost $15,000 more than the Infiniti. The BMW was almost $71,000! The Infiniti also won the Got-To-Have-It category, edging out the BMW by one point."
