CanuckRS4

My first winter with the RS4 is quickly approaching, and thinking about winter tires as we get lots of snow up here. Plus I routinely head to the hills for some boarding.
I wanted to poll and see what others have been doing for winter tires/rims. I was thinking of just switching rubber on the OEM rims for dunlop winter sport 3D. I have used them before and they are fantastic! However, I wouldn't mind having a dedicated rim/tire set. What rims other than OEM have others tried?

and D3s - running 17" versions on my A4 last winter and they were fantastic

That said, to get optimal performance, you should run 225 or 235 width tires on 18" wheels. You will still be better than 90-95% of the cars on the road with Quattro, stability control, and 255/35-19 Dunlop 3D's.

Any idea where to find them in OEM sizes? Anyone have them in stock now?

Get them sooner rather than later as they often sell out by early to mid-winter.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&amp;url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMak e%3DDunlop%26amp%3BtireModel%3DSP%2BWinter%2BSport %2B3D%26amp%3Bpartnum%3D535VR9WS3D%26amp%3Bvehicle Search%3Dfalse%26amp%3BfromCompare1%3Dyes%26amp%3B place%3D0

I really like the C6 in avant form....makes more sense to me than the B7 iteration.
