Looking for a good 16" tire to replace my goodyears
Right now I want to keep the 16" rims on my 98' A4 2.8Q but I do want to get something new... the origial Goodyears have lasted 60k miles and that is pretty good.
I live in Phoenix now so snow is not a problem but I do want to have good control in the water for the 10-20 days a year that it rains.
I do drive like a "crazy taxi" so I want something that is sporty but with not to much roadnoise... I think that the good years were always pretty loud.
I want a tire that will last atleast 20k miles.. not just a summer tire. and I don't want to spend more then 120$
I have 205's on there right now... but I wanted to know if a wider tire would fit without rubbing in the wheel well.
I would like any suggestions, and thanks for your help.. I am new to the Audi Forum

Re: 712s are not an all season
I just installed the Kumho's 712 225/45 on my car, but those are for 17" wheels. The Kumhos are considered Ultra High Performance, but they have excellent wet weather traction.
