These are the 255/55/16 that fit perfectly. These tires being made for SUV sport allow me to adjust anywhere from 30-51psi to adjust my ride comfort. Overall these allow for fantastic handling and the stiffer sidewall really allows the car to corner well. I have put about 10k miles on them and will use these tires from now on. At 84 bucks a tire you cant go wrong if you want performance on the 16 inch rims. These tires really hold up in jersey city with those nice craters in the road...
Just look at the size difference

Look at the protection from curb rash on the rims..

Re: Finally got some pics of the monster tires...
Please post pics from further away. I'd like to see how they look from the back and side. Do you have stock suspension? Those wheels really seam to stick out far. Do you have spacers in there? Please elucidate. Thanks.

Completley stock!
I have stock suspension and no spacers. The only change i will be doing in adding Bilstein HD shocks next month. I do not want to lower the car, nor do i want to go with larger rims.
From the rear the car looks sick, it looks like a suped up S8. I do not have any fender clearance issues and they do not stick out over the fender.
My main concern was road noise, but the A8 is very well insulated, not really any noiser than the stock tires i had on.
I will have more pics in the morning
