Nope, you can't. I asked a couple of Audi dealerships - some offered to swap the tires on arrival (at a cost). Summer tires aren't going to do well in my neck of the woods, especially if the car arrives before the end of snow season. Still considering options on that though.

That's better than I'm doing. My dealer ignores me every time I ask about a buy-back.

I think the best bet might be to buy a separate set of wheels/tires for the winter; there are some good options on ebay. That's the route I'll probably be going - waiting to see when the delivery will happen, I'm thinking I might need it until next winter.

You can order 20" wheels with the A 7, but not with the S 7. I understand the 20" wheels are the A 7 give a much harder ride if that's what you are looking for.

2016 S7's have an option of 19", 20" or 21".

That was the original plan but I really don't want to store a second set for the bulk of the year and I don't feel like laying out $3500 for a dedicated set of winter gear.

I've been getting by with Conti DWS for years and I love them.

Don't believe so - I asked my salesman. I just bought some all seasons and now I'm stuck with the performance. I don't intend to put them back on in the spring, so I'm trying to sell them. Posted the ad in the classifieds.

Did you buy the all seasons from the dealership? How much was it?

No way would I buy through the dealership, waaaayyyy too much. Got them at Costco; another alternative that I used on a Porsche I used to have was Tire Rack - very, very competitive pricing and their service is A++. Got rims and tires from them, unpackaged them and mounted. Balanced, air, TPMS - it was almost too easy!

If I can't sell the performance, I'll just remount in the spring and wear them out - Costco offers a remounting deal where you pay a small fee to remount the tires, as long as you purchased a set from them, so I'm good.

Do you have a copy or link of the official PR for USA?
