Thanks!
ive bought multiple sets from TR but now they’re charging $500 for shipping and brokerage. Not worth it. Check out 1010tires who are from Van.

Changed to my winter tire set up yesterday. Pleasantly surprised how well the car rides for daily driving with the snows. User manual doesn’t spec winter tire air pressure so I used the spec for same sized all-seasons. Any thoughts on what the best air pressure should be?

Hi everyone. I’m Lee from Indiana. I also looking for a set of wheels and tires for all season. I want a 19” wheel because the car we order have the 18” all season tires. Would love the 20” but so far they dont have all season tires for those yet. The sale guy from Audi told me i can order and have TireRack ship it to the dealer and they charge 30 some plus tax to put them on for me. My question is how much do you guys think i can sale the set 18” for? Since this is gonna be a new build car so can’t have too much miles on it. Audi charge 2k6 for those. Thankyou for your time and answers. I really appreciate it.

Just put my winter set on. Monte Titano MT1's on closeout from Tire Rack with Michelin Pilot Alpin 4 tires. I like the simple 5 spoke look.

Yep! Already used the bars to move my paddleboard to storage for the winter too.

I settled on 36 psi for the fronts and 34 psi for the rears for my 18" Michelin X-Ice winter tires.
