Default Help with winter tires

Hey everyone, im a big reader on this fourm and i really need some help. I can not find any winter tires to fit on my RS 4. Every where i call they say that there are non left and i really do not want to have to buy smaller rims. If anyone is selling theirs or knows where i can locate a set i would be very thankful. Thanks

Default Ran into the same problem...

tried to get Dunlop snows for the 19s to no avail...anywhere. Ended up getting a set of dedicated AT Italia 18s with the Dunlops.

Will not risk this car (or myself) in snow country without snow tires.

The only other option is parking it till spring, and that would be hard to do. I can hardly sleep with this thing in the garage.

Default You aren't going to find the 19" Dunlops anymore...

TireRack was the only place that carried them, and they didn't import too many.

Your only choice now is to get some 18s with snows (there are quite a few options in the 255/40/18 size), or sit the car in the garage.

I made that mistake with the RS6 and it sat in the garage all winter.
