#14 of 20 Re: Tire size for a 2007 A6 S-Line package [dbates1] by viso Dec 06, 2007 (7:41 pm)
Replying to: dbates1 (Jan 18, 2007 6:24 am) This post maybe very late, but I just added 19" rims to my 05 A6 4.2 S-line Sports. They look amazing on the car and give it that extra beef. I choose the 5 double-spoke Audi rims. 19" fit easily. I want to know if 20" rims would fit the new S6 as that is my next project for my 07 S6.
#15 of 20 Replacing All 4 A6 tires after a flat by flattire4 Feb 13, 2008 (6:06 pm)
Any truth to a tire dealers Mantra that replacing only one tire on an AWD A6 will damage the car in some way? This seems like such a scam. But from what I've read (forgive me --I'm far from knowledgable) it shouldn't matter much if the new tire is the same size and the tread on the old tires hasn't worn down to Abe Lincols's head?   Please help me save $300 Replies to this message: kgary (Feb 13, 2008 6:30 pm)

Will 275/40/17 tires fit on a 2004 A6 4.2? or will they rub? I found a set of 4 for $455 brand new and I would like to buy them but. . .

Replying to: bossfifty (Jun 13, 2007 2:12 pm) I am thinking of buying a 2k5 A6 Quattro 3.2. It has the 16" tires. Does your post apply to this version of the A6.   Thank you,
#20 of 20 Why do I feel unsafe? by hungryford Aug 23, 2008 (9:22 pm)
Audi 2002 A6 4.2 sports suspension, 17 inch rims. 6 hours ago, I replaced my semi-bald standard 255 Z 40 tires with 4 new 235 Y 45 tires from Bridgestone (their rain racing tires, I am told--I live in rain country). I took these brand new tires immediately up to freeway speeds and felt a lot of sway and oversteer that me feel unsafe. I am ready to go back and replace them with the 40 series, if performance doesn't improve after I check to be sure air pressure is up near tire rating and put a few miles of run in them. The tire direction indicators are correct. However, they had all 4 rims off at once and may have replaced them haphazardly as to side. I do not see how this matters with brand new tires. Also could there be any ESP or other Audi computer cornering settings that I have messed up? Has anyone got an explanation other than narrower tread, thicker tread and maybe under-inflation as a cause for such a dramatic change in handling. I have to make this decision tomorrow (Sunday), as I am on the road, far from home. hungryford
