Default Who is they? That's 13mm difference between 2 sides on a 25" diameter tire

Why does Audi supply a spare tire that's 6% smaller than a regular size?

And what is the added diameter with a cable or chain? On a plastic solid wheel? how about a pneumatic soft rubber tire like we run?

And how fast are we allowed to drive with chains / cables?

And to answer your question, yes you can easily meet the 2% difference with air pressure alone.

That's the difference between a new and worn tire BTW.

Depends on if Audiboy has B7... B7 manuals say chains/cables are OK. =)
