Default Winter tire (yah really!) question..

I have 2002 A6 4.2 with sports option. (ContiSport 255/40 R17). A friend is selling Michelin Alpine 215/45R 17" from his Benz. Will these work on my A6?

Thank you in advance.

Default Here is a link from Stoneys storied reference that could help.

the size is reaonably close, 1.7% circumference difference. But you'd need narrower wheels. that is a 4 cm narrower tire. You might want to post on the wheel and tire forum and see what they think<ul><li><a href="http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html">http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html</a</li></ul>
