Just ordered a winter tire and wheel package from Discount Tire. 285/45 R22 Bridgestone Blizzaks with Splinter Matt Black wheels. Total, including installation, new TPMS and annual storage fee for the summer tires was just over $3K. Wheels are coming in from Ohio in a few weeks. They said if for some reason there is a fitment problem with the tires being too tall, they would swap out to a 285/40 tire.

Audi finally got around to announcing their winter wheel package for this year. I went ahead and ordered a few weeks ago and was originally told they’d be here mid to late October. Now this terrible shipping backlog looks like it is hitting them too and they are saying maybe another 2 months.
great. They really cant offer these as a year round order? Just makes no sense.

my Q8 needs min 20" for winters.. I was able to get some Q7 replicas that covered the breaks and it fits fine but yea 20" worked fine for my Q8.. SQ8 and RSQ8 probably 21 min with larger breaks my guess is.

Anyone gone ahead and ordered the winter wheel/tire package for the RSQ8v I ordered the 22” package with my dealer but they still cant pin down when they will ship out… so aggravating.
audi certainly doesnt leave us with many timely options as the winter rolls in.

You guys are so fricking picky on your winter's setup.

as they should be
for those running winter tires, they’re likely running them for 4-6 months of the year. Why would you want to have your car look like crap for half the year?
that’s why I always opt for just winter tires and keep the stock wheels on the car year round. My current X5 has 22s and it looks as good in the summer as it does in the winter, same with my wife’s Range Rover, 22s all year round.

PMC Tire usually has them, but they do sell out quickly with tire shortages
