Default Winter tire experience

I realize tires are mentioned in several threads but wanted to post this separately as a 'tire experience'. I have the summer 21s and test drove the car with them- they seems great....held well and very quiet (not run flats). I also bought the stock 19" Scorpion Winter 255/55R19 with rims from the dealer and have been using them ever since. Overall impression: Impressive! Seriously cannot tell the diff btwn the 19 and 21 in terms of ride quality and noise...and hold great in snow...pretty incredible. I was worried that the rims would look like 'winter' rims but I think they are pretty sharp (see attached 2 photos)

Looks Sharp!

1. Any issues with Air Ride and Drivers Assistance with 19's?

2. What model are those wheels?

no air ride issues whatsoever. Also nothing I can tell with Drivers Assistance. Curious why would these wheels/tires impact Driver Assist?

Not sure of actual Model, but they are the Audi OEM tire and wheel package recommendation. I assume you mean part number?

Good to hear. I heard odd stuff about adaptive cruise on VW and special alignments required. May have just been BS.

Yeah just the name or model number of the wheel.
