Default pst package

It looks like audi has corrected its web page with respect to the wheels for the PST packagae. 225/45 ZR 17 Michelin Pilot Sport or Pirelli P6000 Tires seem to be the most likely tire.

Default I see no mention now

I went to the website, it doesn't say anything about the width of the tires.

However, the dealer sheet, as reprinted below on autosite, says 255/40R17. It even mentions SP9000's.

225/45R17 would be a letdown, I'm putting on 235/45R17s, and I don't even have the sport suspension!<ul><li><a href="http://www.autosite.com/new/datashts/optfeats/2284.asp">http://www.autosite.com/new/datashts/optfeats/2284.asp</a</li></ul>

Default got it

But, accessories don't necessarily match what comes on the car. ie, just because these are 225s doesn't mean the PSTs aren't 255s.

Note that the Eibach lowering springs that are supposedly from the PSK suspension are actually 10-20mm lower than the PSK ones.

So there is still hope for 255s.

Have to say it seems suspicious that the 17" tire sport package for the 4.2 would be $350 more than the 2.7T one if they both had 255 tires.

Which ones?, the pie plates or the 5-spoke TTesque wheels? Have the 5spokers, but I wish I had the pie plates, more unique and probably easy to clean.

Default Wanna trade?

I got the pie-plates with P6000 in 255x17. Less than 5,000 miles on the tires. I like five-spokes better ever since I got my ATP S5s for snow.
