Default Real world experience: 275 R19

Hey,

First post and will do a full introduction with pics, mods, and future mods to come. Just got into a 2015 S4 with only 8k miles. Immaculate, it was owned by an elderly gentleman who obviously hardly drove it.

As said, will show it off and give full rundown of mods/specs in just a few. Had a quick question for anyone who is actually running these tires or has tried. Does anybody have experience with running a 275 width on 19s? Ive got some wheels coming and want to wrap them with 275, but would like to hear from some of you who are on them or at least tried them.

Whats the scoop? Thanks in advance,

jordan

So.....................nobody? Or is this just not an active forum?

I just came from a C63 Edition 507 and am so used to heavy activity. MBWorld was always fast paced, great quick responses, and troves of knowledge that was shared between owners. The S4 is such a nice car, I figured that there would be tons of activity. Hmmmm

Okay, thanks I will try those other forums too. Not sure if you were giving me the brush off or helpfully trying to point me in a direction that may yield me better info? I am going with the latter and appreciate the guidance. As stated, new to Audi and was told about this specific forum. I was not aware of the other 2. I registered on Audizine so we will see. There seemed to be quite a bit of activity there.

Thanks!!

AZ is definitely more active and shall we say, more "opinionated".

^ You are correct!! There is a ton of activity on AZ. Most of the guys are extremely knowledgable and definitely opinionated. And the depth is impressive.

Thanks for the tip. Im headed back over there now. See ya.................................

I wouldn't recommend going wider than 265. I've run as narrow as 235 and the car handled great. No wheel slip.

And the number one reason why you should go with 19x10s... because there is nothing sexier than seeing a stance like this...
