Captain obvious asked "Why didn't you just try fitting them in yourself?"

If you use the back seat and the trunk and/or fold the rear seats down, you may very well be able to fit 4 tires and wheels in, but you won't fit them all in the rear seat and you won't fit them all in the trunk.

Because I have them in storage. I wanted to know if I needed to get another vehicle to pick them up and avoid realizing I did not have enough space over there.

Thanks for the reply.

Trunk no - trunk, back seat and front seat - yes.

make sure the tires/wheels are well covered - perhaps by a trash bag.

Heed the advice DavidRS4 provides above!!!!!

Just acquired a 2010 A5 Cabriolet with 10,080 miles on the odometer (weekend driver - garage kept). I purchased four Continental DW255/35 R19 96Y XL tires to replace the Pirelli's that came from the factory (too noisy). Two of the Pirelli's had 'meat' left on them, so I said "self - why don't you retain these and sell to a tire resale shop and get a little lunch money". The tech put them in plastic bags. One fit in the trunk (with the top up - not enough room in truck with top down), and the second fit in the passenger seat. My wife said "you must have looked like Fred Sanford driving home - I hope no one saw you!"

I put three in the trunk/back seat with the seats folded, the fourth in the front passenger seat.

I use High Performance all weather radials.

However, my dealer has a tire storage program where for $250 a year they will store your tires and mount and balance 2x a year. sounds like a great deal to me. but my AW radials work great.
