i have my 6-spd 2006 a4 3.2 s-line on order and was wondering about winter tires with the 18" s-line rims. I live in montreal and have heard that driving on 18"s in the winter is a big no-no. Should I just get 18" winter tires or go and buy 17" rims and winter tires for our 5 month winter? thanks

save your sweet s-line rims from the salt and ****. BELIEVE me.

also- you'll save your s-lines from being damaged by mounting and unmounting the tires AND it comes out cheaper because switching rims is much less expensive than mounting/unmounting tires at the beginnning and end of each season.

you'll thank me later. i lived in south dakota and DC. i'd recommend the pilot alpin 2s. good for two heavy snow seasons, at least.

More specifically the width of the wheel. The narrower the better usually.

October to April at least

...going down to 16" is even better. They will fit on the B7.

Tanner

What 16s will fit on the B7?

RXBG

with the same rolling diameter. i think you'd do fine on 17s.

but will 15" rims fit over the B7 rotors?

RXBG

ah yes. good point. probably not. i love these boards.

Bigger Aspect Ratio and Narrower tires are better in the snow. Narrower tires will cut through the snow, and bigger aspect ratio will be nicer to your rims.
