Looking into SQ5 Tire Replacement with 265/40R21s
Hello Q5 Family,
Has anyone had any issues with replacing tires on their SQ5 with 265/40R21s? I'm down to 2/32 remaining on all tires and P Zeros only lasted 16.5K miles for exactly 1 year. I don't want to be buying tires EVERY year so I want to get the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's which supposedly have a better wear rating along with a 30K mile warranty. Please advise.

I went with Atturo as well. Love the price and the handling so far has been very good - wet and dry. they are quiet and grippy. But I don't love the look of them - the squareness of the tire just doesn't scream performance tire like it should - part of the problem is the larger size on the OE rim - performance tires IMO look better when stretched out to the rim edge rather than overhanging it...but better curb protection I guess.....

Thanks for the feedback. I just ordered the Atturos and will get them installed next week. I'm considering using spacers due to the extra height and width of this tire compared to the 255/40R21s. I read where someone used 12.5mms in the front and 20mms in the rear and got a nice flush look. It is an extra $190 using the ECS spacers. I'll let you know what I decide to do next week.

And yes, if looking for spacers for the SQ5, 10/15mm spacers are perfect and indeed can do for $240 shipped and come with bolts.
