Default Factory Wheels - Tire Size?

Anyone know what the right tire size is for a stock set of Audi 21" RS7 wheels is? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. That is what the tire configurator was saying but I was hoping it was wrong. Apparently there are very few tires that fit these wheels.

What are most people on here running given limited options? Debating dropping down to a 20" wheel to get a broader range of tire options.

Yeah, not many 21" options. Pretty much what you see on Tire Rack is all there is...Continental, Dunlop, or Pirelli. You can choose whichever brand you like best and will probably have similar performance between all of them.

You get quite a larger selection of tires with a 20" wheel. A 275/35/20 tire will have the same overall diameter as the 21" wheel/tire combo. Hartmann makes some good quality replicas. Whichever 20" rim you get, make sure they will clear the front brake caliper because most 20s won't.

I run the 21's during spring, summer and fall and I bought the 20's Audi Winter tire package and have a true all year long car.
